Elite All-American
SELECTION PROCESS
Elite All-American evaluates the complete body of available evidence. No single statistic, award, event, ranking, nomination, scouting source, or organizational affiliation determines selection.
Eligibility
Any high school athlete competing in flag football or 7v7 football may be considered for Elite All-American recognition. No event participation, organizational affiliation, or nomination is required for consideration.
