Excitement Builds in Georgia as High School Football Season Kicks Off!

Welcome to the vibrant city of Atlanta, where the air is buzzing with enthusiasm as the Georgia high school football season is officially underway! With the dawn of a new season, the 2025 preseason rankings are out and creating quite a stir among football fans and players alike.

Grayson Rams Take the Top Spot

It’s no surprise that the defending Class 6A state champion, the Grayson Rams, are holding on tight to the coveted number one position. After finishing last season with an impressive 14-1 record, they’ve earned every bit of their top ranking. The team is gearing up with powerhouse players ready to shine. Starting quarterback Travis Burgess, who’s committed to North Carolina, and 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson, set to head to Texas, are just a few of the stars returning to the field. They do face the task of replacing two running backs and their top two leading receivers, so the coming matches are bound to be thrilling!

Buford Buzzes in at Number Two

Hot on Grayson’s heels is the Buford Wolves, currently ranked number two after finishing last season with a strong 12-2 record as a Class 6A state semifinalist. The Wolves’ hopes are riding on returning starting quarterback Dayton Raiola, who will have to fill the gaps left by some key offensive players. On defense, they’re showcasing a powerful lineup with 4-star Texas A&M commit Bryce Perry-Wright and 4-star Clemson commit Dre Quinn, working diligently to keep opponents at bay.

Milton’s Challenge

Ranking number three, the Milton Eagles are coming off a spectacular 15-0 record last season and carry the title of Class 5A state champion. However, this season comes with its own set of challenges as they work to replace most of their offensive production. With significant graduation losses, including star quarterback Luke Nickel (now signed to Miami), they’re excited about their new recruits like 4-star transfer QB Derrick Baker and transfer running back Bentley Hickman, hoping they can rise to the occasion.

Douglas County and North Cobb Round Out the Top 5

Just behind Milton, Douglas County and North Cobb have made a solid impact in the rankings. Douglas County, sporting an impressive 11-1 record last season, is introducing their new quarterback, Mike Johnson, while returning key player Zamarcus Lindley will be crucial in their pursuit of glory. Meanwhile, North Cobb is also shifting gears with a new quarterback, 4-star Notre Dame commit Teddy Jarrard, alongside returning 1,000-yard rusher Zach Belyeu, ensuring that they are well-equipped for the challenges ahead.

The Carrollton Trojans and Enhancements Across the League

Just slightly outside the top five are the Carrollton Trojans, who are dealing with the aftermath of losing several key players from last year’s championship squad. Likewise, Collins Hill is ready to impress as they introduce starting quarterback Makyree Cross alongside new transfers. With teams like the Lee County adding talented transfer running backs and Thomas County Central debuting at number ten, the competition is stiff, and every matchup promises to be an exhilarating experience!

Exciting Preseason Scrimmages Ahead!

The preseason scrimmage schedule is loaded with exciting matchups starting from August 1. Another thrilling development is taking place at Dan Pitts Stadium, where renovations worth $17.5 million are set to complete by August 22 for the exciting game against Jackson.

Whether you’re rooting for the Rams, Wolves, Eagles, or any of the talented teams hitting the field this season, there’s no doubt that Georgia high school football is primed for a fantastic year ahead. With so much talent and ambition, get ready football fans – it’s going to be an unforgettable season!
