2024 SBLive Football Top 25 Arkansas high school football rankings

1. Bryant (4-0)

The Hornets have been impressive through the first three games with victories over Benton, Christian Brothers and Parkview. Next up is a meeting with Central at home.

2. Fayetteville (2-1)

Just about a week and a half ago, Parkview's 27-game winning streak was snapped by Bryant (see No. 1). Now with a week off, the Patriots are ready to get back on track against Hot Springs.

5. Conway (3-0)

With a player like University of Arkansas commit Grayson Wilson under center, Conway remains a legitimate threat in Class 7A.
