In the run-up to the 2025 season, MassLive is taking a position-by-position look at some of the top high school football players in Massachusetts.
We recently highlighted the top linebackers in the state.
Now, we want to hear from you: Which high school linebacker in Massachusetts will be the best of the best in 2025?
Read the write-ups on every linebacker here, and then vote in the poll at the bottom of this page.
The voting will conclude Sunday, Sept. 21, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Later, we will publish the “fans’ all-star team” based on the vote of the readers.
Note: MassLive’s polls are intended to be fun. You can vote as many times as you want, but we discourage the use of script, macro or other automated means. MassLive reserves the right to adjust the voting based on irregularities. Email jhumburg@advancelocal.com with concerns.
