Final On3 Composite National High School Football Rankings

The final edition of the On3 Composite Rankings for the 2024 high school football season has been released.

After starting the year as the nation’s top program, Mater Dei (Calif.) never wavered, going undefeated, winning another state title and finishing the season at No. 1 overall. The Monarchs are one of five teams from California in the final top 25.

The Golden State is one of 11 states represented. Florida, Georgia, Texas and Maryland each finished with multiple representatives, while Nevada, Utah, New Jersey, Illinois, Arizona and South Carolina each have one team at the top.

Below is the final On3 Composite national top 25:

The On3 Composite Rankings is a proprietary algorithm that compiles rankings listed in the public domain by respected High School media and data companies. It includes Massey, Max Preps, HSRatings (formerly Cal Preps), ESPN and SI, creating the industry’s most comprehensive and geographically balanced High School Team Ranking.

1. Mater Dei (Calif.)

The top team in the nation was never in doubt for the entire season. Mater Dei finished 13-0 and defeated seven of the other top 10 teams in the state, in addition to nationally-ranked Bishop Gorman (Nev.) and St. Frances Academy (Md.). The Monarchs, loaded with talent, are sending nine seniors to Power Four programs, including cornerback Chuck McDonald (Alabama), CB Daryus Dixson (Penn State), linebacker Nasir Wyatt (Oregon) and running back Jordon Davison (Oregon).

2. North Crowley (Texas)

After hovering near the top of the Texas rankings all season, North Crowley finishes atop the Lone Star State following an immaculate 16-0 season that was capped off with a 6A-I state championship win over Austin Westlake last month. The Panthers finished with wins over five of the top-10 teams in Texas, including Duncanville, DeSoto and Coppell. Wide receiver Quentin Gibson (Colorado), RB Cornelius Warren (UNLV) and OL Henry Fenuku (Missouri) were among the seniors that spearheaded one of the most potent offenses in the nation.

3. Bishop Gorman (Nev.)

The lone blemish on Bishop Gorman’s 2024 résumé was an early-season loss to top-ranked Mater Dei. Otherwise, the Gaels were once again been dominant, picking up wins over the likes of St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.) and Orange Lutheran (Calif.) while also continuing to bully their competition in Nevada. They won their fourth consecutive 5A state title at the end of November, steamrolling Arbor View 69-7. Seven Power Four signees were on the BG roster, including WR Derek Meadows (Alabama), IOL Douglas Utu (Oregon) and IOL SJ Alofaituli (Miami).

4. Milton (Ga.)

From the onset, Milton looked to have one of the top offenses in the nation. Led by quarterback Luke Nickel (Miami), wide receiver CJ Wiley (Georgia) and the tight end duo of Ethan Barbour (Georgia) and Ryan Ghea (Auburn), the Eagles were unstoppable with the ball in their hands. Adding in a defense that features an additional three SEC signees, Milton capped a 15-0 season off with a 56-35 win over Langston Hughes in the 5A state title game.

5. St. John Bosco (Calif.)

The only team that was able to stop St. John Bosco this season was Mater Dei. The Braves finished 11-2, with their lone losses coming to the Monarchs in the regular season and the state title game. The Bellflower program still finished as the No. 5 team in the nation thanks to wins over the likes of Chaminade-Madonna (Fla.) and in-state Orange Lutheran, Sierra Canyon and JSerra Catholic. Bosco will be loaded with senior talent in 2025.

6. Duncanville (Texas)

Tabbed as the top team in Texas for much of the season, Duncanville had the nation’s top one-two punch on offense via QB Keelon Russell (Alabama) and WR Dakorien Moore (Oregon), two of the top overall recruits in the 2025 cycle. The Panthers’ quest for a state title was foiled by North Crowley in the state semifinals, but they still finished with an impressive 13-1 record that featured wins over St. Frances Academy (Md.) and in-state DeSoto.

7. Grayson (Ga.)

After suffering an upset loss to Collins Hill in the first week of the season, Grayson was faced with a steep climb moving forward. The Rams were able to leave the defeat in the past, as they went on to win their next 14 games and claim a 6A state championship. The Peach State program defeated Thompson (Ala.), Mallard Creek (N.C.) and other top Georgia teams this fall. The Rams even got their win back over Collins Hill amidst a playoff run that finished with a 38-24 win over Carrollton. Eight Division I signees were on the roster, including DL Joseph Mbatchou (Florida), OT Nick Brooks (Texas) and EDGE Andre Fuller (Georgia Tech.)

8. Corner Canyon (Utah)

Put another impressive season in the books for Corner Canyon, as the Chargers finished with a 13-1 record and another Utah state title. The Chargers made their presence felt early this season after knocking off Florida powerhouse IMG Academy in the second week of the season. After losing to in-state Lone Peak the following week, the Chargers cruised to the state title, where they avenged their loss and defeated Lone Peak 30-27. Headlining the offense was WR Jerome Myles (Texas A&M) and junior Texas A&M QB commit Helaman Casuga.

9. Bergen Catholic (N.J.)

Bergen has reigned atop New Jersey for multiple years and has now landed its fourth consecutive NJ non-public state title. The Crusaders, led by elite wide receiver Quincy Porter (Ohio State), finished 11-1 with their lone loss coming against IMG Academy. They beat up on local competition and rounded things out with a commanding 25-7 win over Don Bosco Prep. Porter was one of three D1 signees on the roster, alongside IOL Chris Vigna (Rutgers) and CB Naiim Parrish (Minnesota).

10. Archbishop Spalding (Md.)

Archbishop Spalding completed a 12-0 season to reign atop the DMV this fall. The Cavaliers faced a majority of the top programs in and around Maryland — and they didn’t allow a point in eight of their 12 contests. Star QB Malik Washington (Maryland) headed the offense and was surrounded by two other soon-to-be Terrapins, as well as three other Division I prospects. Spalding rounded out its year with a 31-7 stomping of McDonogh in the Class A state title game.
