MaxPreps Top 25 Rankings Update | Week 3 2026 High School Football Season

Newcomers to the MaxPreps Top 25 | Week 2 2026 High School Football Season

Seventeen state championships. Seven in a row, a Florida record. Thirty-two NFL Draft picks since 2001. Head coach Roger Harriott calls it the greatest high school football program in the world.

This is inside St. Thomas Aquinas — not the trophies, but what the program is built on: character, accountability, and an expectation every new group of Raiders inherits.

St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders | Fort Lauderdale, Florida · 17 state titles · 7 straight, a Florida record · 32 NFL Draft picks since 2001 Alumni: Michael Irvin, Joey and Nick Bosa, Asante Samuel Jr., Nik Bonitto, Elijah Moore & more.

Heart of the Program is a four-part series from MaxPreps and Nike featuring DeSoto (TX), St. Thomas Aquinas (FL), Massillon Washington (OH) and Duncanville (TX).

DeSoto has won four state championships, three of them in the last four years, and sent 13 players to the NFL Draft since 2001. Head coach Claude Mathis doesn't call it a team. He calls it a program.

This is DeSoto football: the city, the community, and the standard a group of teenagers in South Dallas carries every fall. The pipeline runs from Jalen Mills to Byron Murphy II, and it keeps producing.

DeSoto Eagles | DeSoto, Texas 4 state titles (2016, 2022, 2023, 2025) · 3 in the last 4 years · 13 NFL Draft picks since 2001

Heart of the Program is a four-part series from MaxPreps and Nike featuring DeSoto (TX), St. Thomas Aquinas (FL), Massillon Washington (OH) and Duncanville (TX).
