Utah High School Football Top 25 Rankings - Sep. 1

Looking back at the week for the state of Utah and they came away a proud for showing out on the national scene. 

That’s because the state’s top-ranked Corner Canyon Chargers traveled down to South Florida and played in the Broward County Classic High School Football Showcase, defeating a very talented West Broward. Besides the Chargers, who else came away impressing and rising up the Utah Top 25 rankings?

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here is the latest Utah Top 25 high school football rankings, according to Massey.

1. Corner Canyon Chargers (3-0)

There’s been no better team in the state of Utah that the Corner Canyon Chargers after another rout, this time a 67-21 beatdown of Fremont.

The Chargers flexed their muscles a couple weeks ago at the Broward County Classic routed West Broward (Fla.) in a 38-13 decision. What has really separated this Corner Canyon team from everyone else around the Beehive State is the play of their high-flying pass offense.

Texas A&M commit Helaman Casuga has been stellar behind center through three games, with the future Aggie completing 42-of-68 passes for 822 yards and six touchdowns. Also playing well is senior running back Weston Briggs, who has rushed for 323 yards and scored two touchdowns. 

2. Lone Peak Knights (3-0)

Lone Peak is another Utah power that’s seen impressive play from the offensive side of the football, a unit that’s currently averaging over 40 points per game this season.

Having a player like quarterback Cruz Christensen playing the way he is behind center has certainly helped the offense play at a high level. Through three games, Christensen has completed 32-of-47 passes for 506 yards and six touchdowns.

Up next for Lone Peak is a titanic regional matchup against national powerhouse Bishop Gorman (Nev.).

3. Skyridge Falcons (3-0)

Skyridge has been sending the rest of the state a statement that they are not the same team of a year ago.

Through three games, Skyridge’s offense has turned up the heat on opposing defenses, averaging an eye-popping 55 points per game this season. 

Three-star BYU commit Kaneal Sweetwyne (904 yards, 15 touchdowns in 2025) is leading the offense and has shined early on. Minnesota pledge Mataalii Benjamin has protected Sweetwyne’s blind side and Jernaro Gilford, Jr. has proven himself as one of the state’s top junior pass catchers.

The Falcons have a Sep. 12 showdown against Colorado’s top-ranked Cherry Creek on the road. For Skyridge, it’s a crucial stretch of games to see how much they have improved from 2024. 

4. American Fork (3-0)

American Fork remains in the No. 4 spot after last week jumping up a couple spots in the rankings. Last Friday the Cavemen had to battle it out for win No. 3, defeating West, 18-12.

The Cavemen have platooned quarterbacks and it’s worked out just fine for them through the first three weeks between senior Kapono Manuela and junior Nate Childs. The pair have combined to throw for 473 yards and six touchdowns this season and could both be on pace to throw for over 1,000 each.

American Fork’s regular season slate begins getting tougher starting Sep. 26 when they face Lone Peak (see above). That will start a difficult stretch of games where the Cavemen will face national power Corner Canyon, Lehi and Skyridge, all ranked teams.

5. Lehi Pioneers (2-1)

Lehi bounced back from the 9-7 loss to Mountain Ridge and soundly defeated Kuna, 36-0.

What to exactly make of this Pioneers’ group remains to be seen, but they round out the Top 5 for the second consecutive week in Utah.

Cash Hollingsworth has stepped in behind center, looking to replace quarterback Jett Niuof a year ago. Hollingsworth this season has thrown for 338 yards and five touchdowns, but will need to look for Oklahoma State tight end commit Bryton Niu more in the passing game if Lehi wants to remain among the state’s best.

6. Ridgeline (3-0)
7. Syracuse (3-0)
8. Herriman (3-0)
9. Mountain Ridge (1-2)
10. Davis (2-1)

11. West (2-1)
12. Fremont (2-1)
13. Westlake (3-0)
14. Springville (3-0)
15. Orem (1-2)

16. Bountiful (1-2)
17. Farmington (2-1)
18. Crimson Cliffs (2-1)
19. Timpview (0-3)
20. Riverton (2-1)

21. Morgan (2-1)
22. Alta (2-1)
23. Brighton (1-2)
24. Box Elder (2-0)
25. Snow Canyon (3-0)
