PRZ Nebraska 2024 All-State Teams

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 season was filled with great moments, players, teams, and some instant classic games. Although it has been a while since the season concluded, I can finally bring you my selections for the 2024 All-State first and second teams, featuring the top players at each position. One difference from my All-State teams is that I try to stick to highlight each position; ex, OL selections include tackles, guards, and centers, DBs include cornerbacks and safeties, Linebackers include inside and outside backers, and DL include defensive ends, interior DL, and an EDGE player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Like I said, I know it's late, but I gave the selections much thought and consideration.
