ALL-STATE FOOTBALL: 2025 Class Rural All-State Football Teams

We welcome you to an exciting time as we recognize the top athletes across every Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) classification and the Sunshine State Athletic Association (SSAA) for the 2025 season. This year’s honors include our All-State Teams, along with the debut of our All-Region Teams.

More than 2,500 athletes were nominated for recognition across our 2025 All-State and All-Region teams. While difficult decisions had to be made, we are incredibly grateful to all the coaches who submitted nominations and shared valuable insight on their athletes. Each nominee worked hard to represent their program, and it is exciting to see their efforts recognized on a larger stage.

SELECTION PROCESS

Here is how we approached the selection process:

Compiled statistical information for every position across all classifications and the SSAA.

Considered all-area and all-county teams in the selection process, especially in regions where multiple recognitions are available.

Strength of Schedule was a key factor in determining placement on each All-State and All-Region team.

Minimum statistical benchmarks were applied for offensive skill positions: Quarterbacks: 1,500+ passing yards Rushers: 1,000+ rushing yards Receivers: 500+ receiving yards Flexibility was applied in unique circumstances.

Participation requirement: Athletes were required to participate in at least eight (8) of their team’s games. Exceptions were made in select cases, such as injuries, and were determined by FloridaHSFootball.com staff.

Team structure: Each First, Second, and Third Team consists of 35 athletes: 15 offense, 15 defense, and 5 special teams. Third Teams were included for select classifications and regions based on size. Honorable Mention selections were expanded this year to allow flexibility based on region and classification.

Long snappers were evaluated based on team performance and national rankings from reputable services, including Kohl’s Professional Camps, Kornblue Kicking, and Rubio Long Snapping.

No duplicate selections: Athletes were not permitted to earn multiple selections on All-State teams.
