Follow Dawgs HQ‘s Georgia high school football coverage, led by the dynamic team of Rusty Mansell, Jeremy Johnson and Jake Reuse. It’s time to take a look at the state rankings once again.

With Week 8 in the books, we take a look at the Top 25 teams in the Peach State, according to the On3 Massey Ratings.

Stay tuned for Georgia high school scores and national scores from On3.

1. Lee County

Previous Rank: No. 1

Last week, Lee County rolled to 67-10 win over a winless Veterans High squad. Lee County is led by four-star ball carrier Ousmane Kromah, a Georgia pledge who announced his decision earlier this month.

2. Carrollton

Previous Rank: No. 3 (+1)

The Trojans continue their undefeated roll after smacking East Coweta 63-10 on Friday night. There’s a bye this weekend, but USC quarterback commit JuJu Lewis and the high-powered Carrollton offense has eyes on a state championship to cap his high school career.

3. Milton

Previous Rank: No. 2 (-1)

The undefeated Eagles were on a bye after their impressive win over top-25 Gainesville last weekend in the Rusty Mansell Game of the Week earlier this season. Florida State wide receiver commit CJ Wiley continues to help set the pace for Milton.

4. Buford

Previous Rank: No. 4

Buford has now won seven straight after a season-opening loss to Milton. The Wolves walloped Central Gwinnett 50-0 on Friday and will face 2-8 Mountain View this week before their season finale against No. 17 Mill Creek. There are multiple Power Four commits on Buford, but keep an eye on 2026 four-star defensive lineman Bryce Perry-Wright as one of the most sought after prospects in the country.

5. North Cobb

Previous Rank: No. 6 (+1)

North Cobb’s offense flexed its muscles this week in a 56-10 rout over Cherokee to improve to 8-0. They’ll close the season against Etowah and Wheeler the next two weeks. The On3 Massey Ratings will have them as heavy favorites in both games. Massive Tennessee offensive line commit Brandon Anderson helps anchor North Cobb’s team.

6. Thomas County Central

Previous Rank: No. 10 (+4)

The Yellow Jackets made one of the top-25’s biggest jumps this week after outscoring its last two opponents 123-10. They now sit at 7-1 with a tough road game at Houston County this week before a top-15 showdown against Coffee. Part of the team’s success is 2026 Top 100 EDGE Cam Brooks, one of the nation’s top junior prospects, who is leading the Thomas County Central team into a huge matchup in the Rusty Mansell Game of the Week.

7. North Gwinnett

Previous Rank: No. 5 (-2)

Winless Meadowcreek gave North Gwinnett no trouble on Friday, as the Bulldogs rolled to 55-6 victory on the road. Two games stand between them and an undefeated regular season, starting with No. 23 Norcross. Georgia flip target and Rutgers defensive line pledge Braxton Kyle leads the Top 5 North Gwinnett team.

8. Grayson

Previous Rank: No. 8

Grayson will finally return to the field this week to face South Gwinnett after seeing their schedule upended with delays. After that, the Rams will play three games in the span of eight days to make up the contests they missed. It’s a brutal stretch, but Grayson is deep and talented. Make sure you mark down 2026 four-star defender Tyler Atkinson as a name to know. He’s being recruited as one of the nation’s top prospects.

9. Douglas County

Previous Rank: No. 9

The Tigers’ were off this week after a hard-fought 14-0 win over Westlake two weeks ago. They’ll face 1-7 Chapel Hill this week before welcoming No. 2 Carrollton for a huge top-10 tilt on November 1. 2026 quarterback DJ Bordeaux is leading the way here and has offers from all over the country already. He’ll have a chance to make a statement against Carrollton to kick off November.

10. Langston Hughes

Previous Rank: No. 11 (+1)

Langston Hughes cruised to a 46-0 rout over Northgate on Friday night and now sits at 7-1 with games against Morrow and Lovejoy — two opponents they’re heavily favored to beat — to close the regular season. Auburn offensive line commit Tavaris Dice is one of the top prospects in the country, helping anchor the Langston Hughes offensive line.
