2022 GHSA Boys Player Rankings


DISCLAIMER: If you are not listed, that does not mean you are not an exceptional player. There will be players omitted from this list that will go on to have outstanding senior seasons and collegiate careers. Use these rankings as motivation to become the best player you can be. The state of Georgia is wide and vast with many talented players. With that said, here are my picks for the top players at each position.

*RISING SENIORS ONLY*
*Rankings don’t necessarily denote best college prospects; more so best high school players for the upcoming season
*Players are evaluated on Production (stats), Potential (upside for this upcoming season) & Pedigree (W/L + accolades)
*Positions are defined by what the player most closely plays for his high school team
