<p>The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and we are a couple beautiful Upper Midwest nights away from Friday Night Lights and football being back. The buzz is palpable, every class of competition is looking stacked, and we at <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>couldn't be more excited about the 2024 prep football season in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. In preparation for the season, we're working hard to finish up the vaunted Preseason All-State series and have Class AAA medium rare and ready for service for the <em>PRzMN </em>site. First up: offense. Check out the best QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, fullbacks, and OL that Minnesota's Class AAA has to offer. Only the best of the best made the list. Congrats to the selections! </p>
