2022 PRzMN Preseason All-State Team: Class 4A Defense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thank you so much for everyone's enthusiasm and response to the 2022 Preseason All-State features. I wake up thrilled everyday to grind tape from our great state and I was immensely impressed by the small school All-State studs that dotted our 9man, A, AA, and AAA Preseason squads, particularly at the A and AA level. Now however, we move onto the larger divisions of MN prep football, beginning with Class 4A and spearheaded by powerhouse <em>Hutchinson High School </em>and their Minnesota Gophers commit <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='287257' first='Alex' last='Elliott']</strong>. In what is a loaded Defensive Team consisting of 39ish island boys, thumpers, and trench warfare specialists on the defensive side of the ball, <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>named the best of the best and present to our lovely subscribers the 2022 Preseason All-State Team: Class 4A Defensive squad. Thanks for reading and congratulations to the selections.
