Kickoff Time: Utah High School Football Season is Here!

Excitement is brewing across the state of Utah as the 2025 high school football season kicks off this week! Teams are gearing up, eager to showcase their talent and fight for glory in their respective leagues. With the competition heating up, there are several standout schools and players to keep an eye on!

Corner Canyon High School Takes the Lead

Leading the pack is Corner Canyon High School, starting off the season as the preseason No. 1 team. The Chargers, once again, are gunning for their ninth consecutive region title and third straight state championship. Spearheading this effort is their remarkable quarterback, Helaman Casuga, who has set his sights on guiding his team to another dominating performance.

Lone Peak Knights on the Rise

Hot on Corner Canyon’s heels is the Lone Peak Knights. After narrowly falling to Corner Canyon in the 6A state championship last year, the Knights have bolstered their ranks by adding the talented duo of Jaron and Kennan Pula, both of whom have transferred from Timpview and are committed to the University of Utah. This gives Lone Peak a potent offense that will look to avenge last season’s close call.

Lehi High School’s Future Stars

Not to be overlooked, the Lehi High School Pioneers boast a roster packed with future Division I prospects. Keep an eye on receiver Legend Glasker and defensive end Penisimani Takitaki, both committed to BYU, as well as tight end Bryton Niu, who has committed to Oklahoma State, and offensive lineman Mataalii Benjamin, committed to Minnesota. The Pioneers’ gridiron future looks bright!

Skyridge Falcons Ready to Compete

The Skyridge Falcons are reshuffling their roster but remain a formidable force led by returning quarterback Kaneal Sweetwyne, who already has offers from BYU and Utah State. Defensively, they are formidable too, featuring Harvie Moeai, a standout defensive end committed to Arizona. They’re looking to make waves this season!

Davis High School and Orem High School Step Up

The Davis High School Darts have an ace up their sleeve in quarterback Tradon Bessinger, who threw for an impressive 3,670 yards and 42 touchdowns last season while being committed to Boise State. Over at Orem High School, bolstered by crucial transfers, including Alabama commit quarterback Tayden-Evan Kaawa and safety Aisa Galea’i from Timpview, the team is looking to become a serious contender.

Brighton High School Eyes Contention

The Brighton High School Bengals return a talented squad with nine offensive and five defensive starters back in the fold, aiming to establish themselves as serious contenders in Region 6 after a commendable defensive season last year. They won’t go down without a fight!

Teams on the Toilet Seat

The Cedar Valley Thunderbirds are facing a bit of uncertainty as they introduce new coach Travis Uale and contend with roster turnover. How they adapt will be intriguing to watch! Meanwhile, the Cavemen return a hefty number of starters, including standout sophomore receiver Cash Taiese, who already snagged a Utah offer after impressing in his freshman year.

Exciting Highlights in 5A and 4A Divisions

The reigning 5A champions, the Redhawks, might have lost some key players, but they still hold onto running back Siaki Fekitoa, who rushed for more than 1,900 yards last season and aims to be the heartbeat of the team. The Riverhawks stand tall as the favorites in 4A, returning 17 starters from a remarkable 12-1 season. Also, keep an eye on the Crimson Cliffs, who, despite losing 42 seniors, recently wore the crown of 4A champions.

Surprises Await in various Regions

Olympus is out for revenge following a nail-biting playoff loss last year as they embrace the season with a stout defense anchored by Adam Bywater, a BYU commit. Over at Fremont, the headliner is Salesi Moa, a top-rated prospect committed to Tennessee, who is poised to shine on the field. Meanwhile, Provo High School is expected to dominate in Region 8 with a veteran lineup, and Mountain Ridge will look to make a splash under new coach Nick Robins.

Exciting Times Ahead in Utah High School Football!

As the dust settles and the games unfold, there’s a palpable buzz in the air for the upcoming season! Fans and players alike are charged up and ready to see who will emerge as the champions in Utah high school football. Buckle up; it’s going to be an action-packed season!
