2022 PRzMN Preseason All-State Team: 6A Defense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No storytime, lengthy introductions, or soliloquies necessary! I watched every player's tape on all 32 big school 6A Minnesota high school football programs and named the best of the best for this final 2022 Preseason All-State feature. Week 1 is in the books and so are the preseason awards, stars, rankings, and accolades. Now, it's time to strap up the pads and get after it, and I once again would like to thank everyone for the hype and support from this year's Preseason All-State series. Now, get to know the Big School Preseason All-State Defensive Team. 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>Carson Hansen </strong><em>(Lakeville South) </em>Senior.
