2021 Preseason All-Minneapolis Public Team

And the dog days of summer continue! Now that June is gone and the NCAA’s Dead Period is reinstated we as prep football fans are existing in that little twilight zone between the school year ending and fall camps beginning, which in my opinion is the most boring time of the year. With some extra time on my hands before our rankings updates get underway and follow it up with our Preseason All-State teams I want to do something a little different and create some Preseason All-City teams, starting with my hometown of Minneapolis. With a ton of talent graduating in the class of 2021 there are some huge cleats to fill at a variety of positions throughout the city, but luckily there are also some already established studs set to make the 612 their own. Unfortunately I just couldn’t find any returning RBs that are their team’s primary ball-carrier and had enough film to go off of so there won’t be any Preseason All-City running backs, but every other position group is well stocked and covered. To check out who made the 2021 Preseason All-Minneapolis team all you have to do is scroll down!
