May 30, 2025
In New Jersey, we fully updated and expanded the 2027 rankings earlier this spring, after a long, busy winter event season, which included the Preseason All-State: Underclass. A number of 2027s continue to elevate their status and this class looks to be as top heavy and as deep as any class in recent memory.
