It is officially August, and that means across the state high school football is beginning to ramp up! With the 2019 season just around the corner, we are proud to announce for the 4th year in a row our preseason All-State teams. This list is not solely based off last year’s performances, but players that we anticipate to have a big season. Below the All-State team we have listed out honorable mentions (I probably went overboard with 7-A). It is always worth mentioning that every media outlets has their own take, and no Preseason All-State team is perfect, so please leave a comment down below, and share your thoughts! – MORE PRESEASON

Clearly a massive rebuilding year at many high schools in Georgia 7A but the Walton HS football team is clearly under major construction….. now we will see if the coaches (who got a lot of praise the last two years) can really coach, develop and lead young men into becoming a football force in 2020….2021……. expect 2019 to be 7-3 record at best…….
That’s fair! I think KD Stokes could potentially have a very good year, and surprise a lot defenses across the state. Walton definitely is re-tooling, but their 2022 QB is going to be special, and they have some good young talent coming in from the class of 2023 from what I have seen briefly
Where is the Long Snapper at on the list? That’s the only position I don’t see listed
Why no Parker Wroble from Mill Creek?
One of the most dynamic athletes!
23+ D1 offers to date.
That’s a mistake and now fixed
Honorable mention
A. Washington OLB from Wheeler is so overlooked..that kid is a powerhouse by himself. I’ve been watching him.develop for the last couple of years. Very dedicated
Honorable mention
Test
A. WASHINGTON OLB from Wheeler is so overlooked. He is a powerhouse within himself. I’ve been watching him develop the last couple of years and he is going to be an issue…I wish him the best this last season
2021 Chief Borders Ath WR/OLB is a FREAK
It’s because he is 5’9” 170 and white. That’s why they don’t put him on that list.
5’10” 160 lbs white guy checking in…. are you sure you want to go with that slant?
Isaiah love will surprise a lot he should be in the top offense running backs but guess u will be woke by the end of the year
Your missing one of the top athletes /DB/WR in the country in Travis Hunter he is just now a Sophomore and has 5 or 6 SEC offers alone ! Look again fellas this kid is a beast period !!
