Minnesota Report #0

Hello and welcome back! We at PrepRedzoneMN are back with our fifth installment of the vaunted Preseason All-State series and have for our readers the highly talented 4A team in today’s feature. I was fortunate enough to watch film on the almost 50 AAAA programs in the state - with teams ranging from the Iron Range to the Iowa border - and came away with a loaded offensive and defensive squad that is stacked with talent at every position on the gridiron. As a quick reminder, I base this team primarily on available film, so a couple of programs were unfortunately hampered by their lack of a Hudl subscription in 2020 and I must apologize for not being as inclusive as I’d like to be when evaluating as much talent as possible. However, this team is crammed with talent, so I hope you enjoy the selections of the 2021 PrepRedzoneMN Preseason All-State Team: Class 4A.
