IMG Academy Ascenders

The Ascenders finished last season ranked No. 5 in the final Top 25 high school football rankings, and they begin 2024 one spot higher thanks to a squad that features two-dozen three-star or higher recruits.

Six-foot-four, 260-pound defensive lineman Elijah Golden has the highest rating of those prospects, and he believes IMG will be able to stop all comers, telling Irish Illustrated in a June interview, “Our defense is the best in the country. No team can score on us.”

One thing that could hurt the Ascenders this year? Travel fatigue.

Thursday's game starts starts a 12,062-mile national schedule for IMG.

Corner Canyon Chargers

The Chargers finished 2024 as the No. 15 team in the country after turning in a one-loss season where their only slip-up was a 63-42 defeat at the hands of Bishop Gorman, who finished the regular season as the No. 1 team in the nation.

Fast-rising, five-star receiver Jerome Myles is the No. 1 recruit in Utah and he returns from a broken ankle with a new QB under center in four-star Timpview (Provo) transfer Helaman Casuga, who threw for 4,145 yards and 34 touchdowns at his last stop.

If those two are able to find a rhythm early, they could help Corner Canyon break through on IMG's supposedly impenetrable defense.
