2020 Preseason All-State Teams - Division III
April 19, 2020
The question marks surrounding the chances of a 2020 spring HS season are certainly there, but we hope the classes of 2020-2023 get a chance to play the great game we all love. If we are lucky enough to have a 2020 season, we are eagerly anticipating bringing the Buckeye state the best high school coverage throughout the entire state.

2020 Preseason All-State Teams - Division III
The Buckeye State is loaded with talent from all over the state and that is most definitely evident within the Division III list. Below you will find 60 players listed within the 1st/2nd teams along with a PDF that includes 2019 spring stats as well as an extensive Honorable Mention list within THIS PDF.
The list is formed based on a multitude of factors, some weighted more than others. The factors include 2019 performance, improvement shown at summer/winter showcases, 2020 projection, coaches recommendations, strength of competition, team performance, etc.
We at PBR Ohio would like to congratulate all that made the list. As you can see, this is a comprehensive list that we put in numerous hours of work to complete. We hope you all enjoy the list and have outstanding spring campaigns. Just know that this preseason list has no barrings on the All-State Teams that will be released after the season, as that is all based on success on the field this season. Good luck to all the teams. Let's make 2020 the best year we can!
