Its that wonderful time of year again. After 8 long months high school football is finally back starting this week. As we have said in years past that doing preseason rankings for HS football is about as hard as it gets because of all the player movement and player development from year to year. That being said our fans want us to put out preseason rankings so here they are. IMG Academy is the Prep Force preseason #1 team. The program there really made strides last year and in the off season they picked up an all start team from players all across the country. They are led by 2016’s best QB in Shea Patterson. The Ascenders have 7 of the top 200 players in the 2016 class and another 6 of the top 200 players in the 2017 class. The one drawback is that most of these players have never played together so they will need to mesh quickly, but with that much talent on one team they will be very tough to beat. Florida and Texas lead the way with 5 teams in the top 25 followed by California 4. Follow us @PrepForce1 to stay on top of the rankings throughout the year. Think your team should be ranked?
