Meet the 2021 SBLive Ohio All-State football teams: Drew Allar is MVP; Chad Murphy is coach of the year

SBLive’s 2021 Ohio All-State football teams — led by a dominant QB and a Division II underdog — span all classifications.

The 2021 Ohio high school football season is in the books, so now it’s time to hand out some awards.

SBLive Ohio covered football games all over the state in 2021, and the All-State teams — covering all seven classifications — were compiled with input from correspondents who covered the games.
