Football: The top-ranked 2022 recruit in each state (and Washington D.C.)
USA Today High School Sports recently unveiled its top 100 football recruiting ranking for the class of 2022. With the Early Signing Period just about two months away, it’s now time to take a deeper look at the crop of prospects set to ascend to the college ranks.
With talent spanning from the east coast to the west coast, USA Today High School Sports takes a look at the top-ranked recruit in each state and Washington D.C. according to its top 100 rankings and the 247Sports Composite rankings for recruits that hail outside the top 100 in a certain state. With no recruits ranked in Rhode Island and Vermont, those states were excluded for the list.
Some athletes have already made verbal commitments to specific NCAA programs, so that information is also included below — and will be updated should anything change.
Now, let’s get to it! The top-ranked 2022 recruit in each state…
