Preseason – Updated 8/12/2024
The 2024 Georgia high school football season is finally here, and you will notice that ITG Next’s weekly rankings have a new look. This year we will rank the Top 10 teams in each classification with a total of eight rankings. This includes a separate Top 10 ranking of the “private only” teams in Class 1A-DI, Class 2A, and Class 3A. Here is a look at our updated 2024 Georgia high school football preseason rankings for Class 4A in the new format.
If the Benedictine Cadets can survive one of the most brutal schedules of any team in the state, they will have certainly earned their top ranking.
Perry and head coach Kevin Smith are ready to defend their state title from last season, while Warner Robins and head coach Shane Sams are eager to get the Demons back to the title game.
