The big school team is here, folks! Up to this point, I have watched game film on every single high school football team in the great state of Minnesota, which included rural Iron Range schools of less than 100 near the Canadian border, southern Minnesota programs with only one player on their Hudl, and teams ranging in size and location everywhere in between. We’ve now entered the Twin Cities Metro area, and with a Class that produced five 4-star (according to <em>24/7Sports</em>) prospects last year, we are talking about some of the most skilled football players the Land of 10,000 Lakes has to offer. With the almost 30 Class AAAAAA squads representing the largest schools in the state, we had a lot of accomplished athletes to choose from, so I’m very excited to bring to our readers this talent-rich 2021 <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>Preseason All-State Team: Class 6A edition. As a note, news was recently broken by our own Nate Wahl that Ohio’s <em>St. Edward High School </em>star DE and Minnesota Gopher commit <strong>Trey Bixby </strong>has recently transferred to <em>Eden Prairie High School </em>to compete in MN for his senior season, but I have elected to not include him in this Preseason team as he does not have any film in MN and the news just recently broke. Keep your eyes out for him though, he’s going to be one of the best players in the state this fall. Let’s get right into it and not waste any further time, please enjoy, and thanks for reading! Congratulations to all of the selections! <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Preseason Player of the Year: <b>[player_tooltip player_id="18445" first="Darius" last="Givance"] </b><em>(Champlin Park) </em>&amp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="18432" first="Chase" last="Androff"] </strong><em>(Lakeville South) </em></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Preseason Offensive Player of the Year: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112043" first="Carson" last="Hansen"] </strong><em>(Lakeville South-2023) </em></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Preseason Defensive Player of the Year: <b>[player_tooltip player_id="18429" first="Logan" last="Larson"] </b><em>(East Ridge) </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="116280" first="Camden" last="Dean"] </strong><em>(Lakeville South) - </em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="116215" first="Kyle" last="Haas"] </strong><em>(Prior Lake) </em> Second Team: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="116503" first="Connor" last="Gerrell"] </strong><em>(White Bear Lake) - </em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112054" first="Jacob" last="Kilzer"] </strong><em>(Maple Grove-2023) </em> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Running Back</span> First Team: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="18453" first="Hunter" last="Karlson"] </strong><em>(Totino-Grace) - </em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="112043" first="Carson" last="Hansen"] </strong><em>(Lakeville South-2023) </em> Second Team: <strong>Derrick Jameson Jr. </strong><em>(Maple Grove) - </em><strong>Chandler Ross Jr. </strong><em>(Shakopee) </em> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Wide Receiver</span> First Team: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="18539" first="Blake" last="Rohrer"] </strong><em>(Woodbury)</em> -
