Andy’s Take released his Way-Too-Early Top 25 High School Football Rankings as of June 16, 2026, highlighting programs shaping the upcoming season. Massey Ratings still place DeSoto (TX) as preseason No. 1, but the author’s top pick is St. Frances Academy Panthers (MD), boosted by a returning roster and a defense anchored by edge rushers.
