High School Football America is proud to announce its third annual California Academic All-America Team. Our 2022 Academic All-America Team is powered by scoutSMART, helping student-athletes get noticed at the next level.

In order to be considered for our 2022 Academic All-America Team, a player had to be a contributing member of a varsity football program last season and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.7 on a 4.0 scale.
