GAINESVILLE, Fla. (February 20, 2020) — Here are the 2019 Class 3A All-State Football Teams compiled by FloridaHSFotball.com Publisher Joshua Wilson along with the consideration of coach’s nominations and consultation of all-area/all-county teams as published by various media outlets from around the state. Stats, placements in all-area/all-county teams as well as schedule played by a respected school were all considered factors for the All-State Teams. Also, players from independent teams will be listed on the All-State for the classification they would have been placed in by the FHSAA based upon on the 2018-2019 reclassification enrollment numbers.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This was amended after an error that placed the two Bishop Verot Linebackers selected into the wrong teams. It has since been corrected.
