The Georgia Athletic Coaches Association (GACA) unveiled their Class 5A All-State Team selections for the 2024-25 season. They hailed two squads, one representing Regions 1 to 4 and the other featuring players from Regions 5 to 8.

Ben Reaves is the consensus Coach of the Year after leading Milton to their second consecutive Class 5A state championship. The Eagles finished the season with an undefeated 15-0 record, making them the top team in the Georgia On3 Composite Team Rankings. Milton was also last season’s Public School National Champions.

Meanwhile, Luke Nickel and Ousmane Kromah are the Offensive Players of the Year. Nickel, the Milton quarterback, finished his final high school football season with 209 completions for 3,744 yards and 44 touchdowns.

Kromah, a versatile weapon from Lee County, had 1,356 rushing yards, 741 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns.

Likewise, Jaedon Harmon and Kendarius “Dee” Reddick are the Class 5A Defensive Players of the Year. Harmon is a linebacker for the Rome Wolves while Reddick has 34 tackles and an interception for Thomas County Central.
