Six high school football players from the state of Kansas are on the watch list for the Sports Illustrated All-American team for 2020, SI announced today.

The Kansas honorees are:

• Austin Weiner - 6-7 / 240 / OL from Gardner, Kan. (Gardner Edgerton)

• Dorian Stephens - 6-3 / 182 / WR from Stilwell, Kan. (Blue Valley High)

Pritchard, Stephens and Weiner are verbally committed to Kansas State; Bolticoff to TCU; Neal to Kansas; and Bruce to Iowa.

For a breakdown of which of the 1,000 SIAA nominees across the nation who have verbally committed to or are considering the state’s two Power 5 schools as their college choice, head to:

Video highlights, scouting analyses and a list of each player’s college verbal commitment and/or top college contenders can be found on their bio pages, broken down by state, at SIAllAmerican.com.

The evaluation process will continue throughout the season “until the list of 1,000 contenders coalesces around just 25 young men who can say proudly they are the best of the best -- they are Sports Illustrated All-Americans,” said SI Director of Football Recruiting John Garcia Jr.

Sports Illustrated will narrow the SIAA candidates to 250 in October, 99 in November and then announce a first-team of 25, second-team of 25 and an honorable mention group in December. The first-team selections will be invited to the SI Sportsperson of the Year banquet.

Over the coming weeks, SI will unveil its preseason top 10 for each of 14 position groups (kicking off with quarterbacks this week). SI will unveil its initial preseason top 99 ranking, the SI99, on August 24.
