PrepRedzoneMN 2021 Preseason All-State Team: Class A

After checking out the Hudl accounts of over 60 Minnesota Class A programs, hundreds of highlight tapes, and thousands of clips I am pumped to publish the 2021 <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>Preseason All-State Team for Class A. Just a reminder, these teams are chosen primarily from available film with college interest and offers taken into consideration as well. I mentioned this in the Preseason 9Man team, but I do recognize that this process isn’t the most inclusive, especially to small schools. Finding game film usually means that the high school program is paying for Hudl and that service is quite expensive and some schools just don’t have the budget to afford it. I know this negatively affects kids playing at programs that don’t have Hudl, so if you have some insider knowledge and are aware of a kid I missed that you think should be on the team please email me at: oliver@prepredzone.com! Thanks so much for reading and congratulations to the selectees. <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Preseason Player of the Year: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49819" first="Teigan" last="Martin"] </strong><em>(Mayer Lutheran) </em></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Preseason Offensive Player of the Year: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49841" first="TJ" last="Chiabotti"] </strong><em>(North Woods) </em></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Preseason Defensive Player of the Year: <strong>Tait Kongsjord </strong><em>(Deer River) </em></span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Offense</span></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Quarterback</span> First Team: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="18545" first="Drew" last="Kittelson"] </strong><em>(Blooming Prairie) </em>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="22948" first="Ty" last="Hoese"] </strong><em>(Mayer Lutheran) </em> Second Team: <strong>Brendon Buerkle </strong><em>(Springfield) </em>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112082" first="Owen" last="Louwagie"] </strong><em>(Lakeview/2023) </em>- <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Running Back </span> First Team: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49841" first="TJ" last="Chiabotti"] </strong><em>(North Woods) </em>- <strong>Treay Taylor </strong><em>(G-F-W) - </em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112085" first="Clayton" last="Kosel"] </strong><em>(Lakeview/2023) </em> Second Team: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112088" first="Joseph" last="Forsberg"] </strong><em>(Martin County West/2023)</em> - <strong>Ashtin Johnson </strong><em>(Springfield/2023) - </em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49925" first="Jackson" last="Spizzirri"] </strong><em>(United South Central) </em> Third Team: <strong>Tyler Archer</strong> <em>(Blooming Prairie)</em> -
