2022 PRzMN Preseason All-State Team: Class 5A Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I still remember it like yesterday. Tell me if you've heard this one before; it's a cold Friday night in late November in the early 2010s and the regular season of Minnesota high school football has wound down into the win-and-go-home section playoffs. My battered band of 40somethingish <em>Southwest Lakers </em>have been seeded near the bottom of our section and are due for a butt-whoopin' by the <em>Minnetonka Lakers</em>. A butt-whooping it most surely was, and without giving my <em>Lakers </em>too many excuses, the reality was that <em>Minnetonka </em>and <em>Southwest </em>were on different levels in their high school programs, but with only 5 classes this was just how the cookie crumbled. This was pre-class 6A, so it's safe to say that when the <em>MSHSL </em>introduced AAAAAA and the new, big-school class of MN ball, I was stoked. Now, with a more level and competitive playing field for the in-between schools of Class 5A, prep programs in the Twin Cities, the Metro, and up North have a much higher chance of winning playoff games and aiming for state playoff contention, and Class AAAAA is absolutely stacked this year with scholarship talent that <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>is excited to introduce. Get to know the Class 5A 2022 Preseason All-State Offensive squad below, and congratulations to the selections! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>Preseason Player of the Year: </em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='19001' first='Jaxon' last='Howard'] </strong><em>(Robbinsdale Cooper) </em>Senior. 6'4, 245 lbs.
