Our Top 20 for 2022: The Statesman's complete rundown on the best Austin-area football players
This summer, the American-Statesman will break down the upcoming football season for the Austin area by looking at the top high school football players at each position. Each week, the area's top 20 players will be ranked at each position in two installments.
These aren't recruiting rankings, though we do factor raw talent into the equation. Instead, rankings are based on their productivity and their anticipated impact on their respective teams during the upcoming season.
This page will be updated with links to all the stories we write during the eight weeks we break down the positions.
