High School Football America is proud to announce its third annual Illinois 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.
scoutSMART uses its proprietary system that gives high school football student-athletes a scoutSMART FIT Score that analyzes a players’ stats, on-field skills and academics. scoutSMART then provides the information to college football coaches, at all-levels, around the nation.
