USA TODAY High School Sports All-Super 25 selections for 2023 season

The standout athletes on offense and defense for each team in the final Super 25.

The high school football season came to an end in December 2023, with Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) taking the national champion nod atop the USA TODAY Sports Super 25.

Overall, it was one of the tightest races to the championship crown in recent Super 25 history, with a handful of top-tier teams making a case for supremacy. And throughout the action, standout athletes headlined the season that was packed with upsets, close calls, and statement wins.

As the High School Sports staff closes another chapter on the storied franchise that began in 1982, we’re looking back at the final 25 and highlighting two players—one on offense and one on defense—who stood out this season.

Here are the All-Super 25 selections…

Final 2023 USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 football rankings: Bishop Gorman adds 4th national champ title

The final Super 25 showcases one of the closest races in recent years.

For the first time since 2016, Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) stands atop the Super 25 rankings, marking the program’s fourth title.

Like last year, it was a close race down the stretch, with Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Calif.), Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and DeSoto (Texas) making a case for consideration. 

To that, the teams that just missed the top 25 were probably the most reviewed in recent years, with five shining above the rest.

But after much conversation and consideration, the 25 teams below earned a spot in the final 2023 rundown.

As we close another chapter of the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 football rankings, we congratulate all the teams that appeared this season. That’s an incredible achievement when considering the massive scope of high school football.

The methodology: the HSS staff creates the Super 25 rankings while considering various data points, including strength of schedule, prospects, the more traditional stats—did the team win or lose?—as well as overall point differentials.

USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 football recap: No. 5 DeSoto sets a points record, Duncanville tops North Shore in Texas battle

Expect more shakeups in next week’s final Super 25.

No. 10 Duncanville handed No. 6 North Shore its first loss of the year while securing the Texas 6A Div. 1 state title. It’s just one more headline-hitting outcome this week, which began with a fantastic finish in the Georgia 7A State Championship, where No. 22 Milton took out No. 12 Walton.

To close out the Super 25 schedule, No. 5 DeSoto (Texas) made it clear that it is a top 5 team, setting a record for points scored in a 6A state championship game.

All of it will undoubtedly have a new look when the final rankings are released.

USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 football rankings as of Dec. 12, 2023

The 2023 high school football hierarchy holds firm with only one week before the final Super 25.

A state title upset in Florida and big-time wins in Texas reshaped the latest Super 25, with three teams from the Lone Star State now in the top 10 — DeSoto, North Shore and Duncanville.

At the top of the rankings, Bishop Gorman (Nev.) and Chaminade-Madonna (Fla.) held firm while Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) sealed up Open Division Championship No. 4 and made a strong case for Super 25 supremacy.

Outside looking in, three new teams appear in the bottom half, which continues to shift and shake as the season nears an end.

The methodology: the HSS staff creates the Super 25 rankings while considering various data points, including strength of schedule, prospects, the more traditional stats—did the team win or lose?—as well as overall point differentials.

No. 3 Mater Dei dominates in CIF championship game over No. 17 Serra

Mater Dei put together an impressive win on Saturday.

Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) put forward a convincing performance to be the top team in the nation, following a comprehensive win on Saturday night in the CIF State Open Division championship game.

In last week’s USA TODAY HSS Super 25, Mater Dei was ranked third in the nation. Their opponent on Saturday was No. 17 Serra (San Mateo, Calif.).

And Mater Dei simply rolled over Serra with a 35-0 win. Quarterback Elijah Brown, a Stanford football commit, threw for four touchdowns.

It was the most impressive win of the weekend for any of the nationally ranked teams. But the argument could certainly be made that Mater Dei’s win, considering the quality of the opponent, might be the most thorough and complete win in any championship game in the country this fall.

Could Mater Dei be the top team in the nation when it is all said and done? That would be a difficult mountain to climb. Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) hasn’t faltered all season and Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Florida) seemed to get better every week.

Mater Dei, at 13-1, has an interesting argument to make now following Saturday’s win. Few thought they would be as dominant as they were against a team as good as Serra.

A top finish in the Super 25 would break a tie for most all-time, which the Monarchs currently share with perennial power De La Salle (Concord, Calif.)

USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 football recap: Norland goes down in epic Florida upset, DeSoto and North Shore hang on, plus more

Mater Dei and Chaminade-Madonna continue to make a case for No. 1, while Norland gets upset in a Florida battle.

The Lone Star State showdowns between Super 25 teams headlined the weekend action, with No. 7 North Shore (Houston, Texas) holding off No. 15 Westlake (Austin, Texas), while No. 5 DeSoto (Texas) topped No. 25 Southlake Carroll (Texas) in a one-score game.

Berkeley Prep (Fla.) was the team creating some of the most significant buzz, though, after taking out No. 8 Norland (Fla.).

With No. 3 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) capping off the evening with a state title over No. 18 Serra (San Mateo, Calif.), the Super 25 scoreboard is now final.

Is Jeremiah Smith ready to (tomahawk) chop Ohio State?

Jeremiah Smith could be trending towards a recruiting flip.

Five-star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is sure making waves like a change in his recruitment could be coming. The Ohio State verbal is set for an official visit this weekend to Florida State.

This visit will be a week after Smith wore Florida State gloves during his final high school game, a 56-0 win by Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Florida),  over Clearwater Central Catholic (Clearwater, Florida) in the state playoffs. Chaminade-Madonna finished the season ranked second-overall in the USA TODAY HSS Super 25.

On the season, Smith had 77 catches for 1,206 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns.

He is a consensus top-five recruit in the nation. Smith has been committed to Ohio State for nearly a year, having given his verbal on Dec. 14.

Smith was recently named the No. 1 player in the nation by Rivals.

Now, going on an official visit to Florida State is not good news for Smith’s commitment to Ohio State. Nor is wearing Florida State gloves during his playoff game.

A post shared by 247Sports (@247sports)

There is a reason why Smith is at the center of such an intense recruiting battle. He not only has been productive at the college level but his physical tools are very impressive.

A 6-foot-3, 200-pounds, Smith has great size and length. He is a physical wide receiver who catches the ball at its highest point and is elusive when in the open field.

 

He has long been considered a possible flip to Florida State, but that talk has intensified over the past three months.

USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 football recap: American Heritage and Hoban fall, while Chaminade-Madonna rolls

The Super 25 will have another shakeup next week after Hoban and American Heritage fall.

The shakeups keep coming in 2023, with No. 17 American Heritage falling in a tough battle against unranked Berkeley Prep, while No. 25 Archbishop Hoban lost a close one to No. 11 Washington Massillon by a score of 7-2 — yes, 7-2.

Both finals will undoubtedly factor into the next Super 25.

For those seeking some normalcy, look no further than No. 2 Chaminade-Madonna. The top-ranked Florida program has continued to provide must-see moments while throttling opponents.

The Saturday slate in Texas kept things interesting as well, with No. 6 North Shore surviving a close call against Atascocita and No. 14 Westlake just holding on to defeat Austin-area foe Lake Travis.

Here are the final outcomes from around the Super 25.

Check it out: Jeremiah Smith is the No. 1 wide receiver in the nation…is he also the No. 1 quarterback?

Jeremiah Smith is a most unique talent.

Jeremiah Smith is a special talent and has a legitimate claim to be the top recruit in the nation. The Ohio State football commit is a five-star wide receiver who on Friday showed himself to be a five-star quarterback.

And also a five-star running back for No. 2 Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood, Florida), who once again looked unstoppable.

Maybe the game plan for Ohio State football and head coach Ryan Day next fall to beat Michigan is to line Smith under center, have him heave the ball down the field and then let him run down the field and make his own catch.

Based off of the athleticism here, it might just work. According to 247Sports, Smith is the top-ranked player in the nation.

In Friday night’s thorough 47-7 win over Archbishop Carroll, Smith started the game with a touchdown throw off a trick play:

 

And then midway through the third quarter, he took a direct snap and went 65 yards for a touchdown. Impressive stuff from Smith, who is just such a unique athlete.
