Description

In the heart of Ohio, Columbus is buzzing with excitement as the 2025 high school football season approaches. The city is witnessing a fresh start, marked by significant developments that are set to make this season one to remember.

One of the most notable changes is the transformation at West High School, where a revamped stadium has become a vibrant hub of community activity. The new facilities have not only improved playing conditions but also boosted community support, with more people attending games than in previous years. Katie Glover, Treasurer of the West High Athletic Booster, expressed her enthusiasm, highlighting the joy of seeing students utilize the new track and facilities.

Despite the positive momentum, the city is still recovering from the shadow of the Bishop Sycamore High School scandal in 2021. However, this setback has not dampened the spirit of high school football in Columbus. The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) has announced the 2024 football divisions and regional assignments, ensuring a competitive and well-structured season ahead. Practice is set to start on August 1, with the season kicking off the week of August 19.

The class of 2025 is particularly noteworthy, with dynamic players ready to shine. Tavien St. Clair from Bellefontaine, ranked second in Ohio's 2025 player rankings, is a standout quarterback who has already committed to Ohio State. Other promising players include Dawayne Galloway from Marion-Franklin and Mike Robinson from Findlay, both of whom are top prospects as dynamic running backs.

The community's support is palpable, with fans and alumni eagerly anticipating the new season. The recent state championship win by Olentangy Liberty High School has further fueled the excitement, celebrated with a parade and a proclamation by the Mayor of Powell.

As the new season approaches, Columbus is ready to showcase its best in high school football. With revamped facilities, promising young talent, and a structured competitive framework, the city is set for an exciting and competitive year. The energy around high school football in Columbus is undeniable, and fans are eagerly looking forward to the thrilling matchups and rising stars that the 2025 season will bring.

Additionally, several top uncommitted players from the class of 2025 are still making their decisions. Jackson Wiley, a wide receiver from Olentangy, and Phillip Bowser, an interior offensive lineman from Ursuline, are among the top prospects who have garnered significant attention from colleges. Other notable players include Preston Penn from Gahanna Lincoln, Jaystin Gwinn from Westerville Central, and Shiren Mabry from KIPP Columbus, all of whom are weighing their options as National Signing Day approaches.

With a mix of talented players, revamped facilities, and strong community support, the 2025 high school football season in Columbus promises to be an exhilarating ride filled with excitement and anticipation.
