Thanks for the patience in the release of this latest Preseason All-State team, I am currently in the midst of one of the busiest times of my life and have had a hectic August. However, everything is still on track for all seven classes of MN football to have their 2021 Preseason All-State team released as well as the updated rankings for 2022, ’23, and ’24.

After checking out each and every program from the 50+ AAA class in Minnesota we have a loaded Preseason All-State team and I am very excited to present to our readers the best of the best of the hundreds of athletes I watched. However, there were a few teams who did not have Hudl accounts available, so I apologize for not getting a proper look at the athletes at those schools. If you think I missed anyone on this team please email me at: oliver@prepredzone.com. Thanks for reading and congratulations to all of the selections!
