Georgia annually produces some of the nation's best high school football talent, and the 2026 season is loaded with proven stars, elite recruits and future college standouts. Before kickoff, Rivals recognizes the players expected to define the season with its preseason All-State team, highlighting the top talent at every position across the Peach State.
Quarterback: Kharim Hughley, Gainesville – The Clemson commit finished his junior season with 2,400 yards passing and 33 touchdowns. Hughley is good with his legs to extend plays, he can throw the ball on the move and he took Gainesville to state championship game last season.
Running Back: Gary Walker, Creekside – This time a year ago, Walker was not being talked about the way he should have. After a junior season where he rushed for over 1,600 yards, was a key part of a record-breaking offense, and scored 20 touchdowns. The Clemson commit is a star.
Running Back: Moonie Gipson, Kell – Gipson has been one of the top running backs in the state since his freshman season. The Georgia Tech commit ended the season last year with a tough injury, but that was after he rushed for 1,918 yards and 25 scores.
Wide Receiver: Taurean Rawlins, Mount Vernon – The Georgia commit finished his junior season with almost 70 receptions, 1,395 yards and 25 touchdowns. He quickly rose up recruiting boards last fall and emerged as a top playmaker in the Peach State.

Friday night felt like the start of something.
A point against Rangers might not sound spectacular on paper, but anyone inside Tannadice knows United deserved to come away with plenty of credit. There was intensity, energy and - most importantly - an identity.
Five league debutants and a new-look side meant plenty of question marks before kick-off. Yet as the game settled, United grew into it.
The opening goal was superb. Josh Rawlins, Jesse Randall, Zac Sapsford and Lachlan Rose, the Thunder from Down Under combination, carving Rangers open with a move that deserved to be finished and thankfully was. Not a 30-yard screamer but they all count.
Rangers responded after the break as you would expect from a side chasing the ****** le and Jack Walton showed exactly why Jim Goodwin was so keen to bring him back.

Zac Sapsford is loving the influx of players from down under at Tannadice.
The Australian striker joined Dundee United last summer and now has company in fellow countrymen Daniel Bennie, Lachlan Rose and Joshua Rawlins, plus New Zealander Jesse Randall.
"I am shocked at how many we are getting, it is amazing," said 23-year-old Sapsford.
"I am always happy to have more Australians here, it makes you feel a bit more at home and hearing that familiar accent is always nice.
"They are going to be good players for us this season as well so it will be amazing."
