2025 Nebraska Class-by-Class High School Rankings: Preseason
So it begins.
As we alluded to in our high school preseason introduction, we're bringing back the class-by-class team rankings we started last year. Of course, this series always begins with the most difficult compilation of all: the preseason list.
These preseason rankings take into consideration a wide range of factors, all while having no results to work from yet. We're looking back at last year's hierarchy and trying to prognosticate this year's frontrunners based on graduations and roster movement. It's a delicate dance, but we're giving it a shot.
