High school football teams around Southern Nevada are gearing up for the new season with spring practice.
Many of the area’s top players are also preparing for the new year. And also getting ready to decide on where they will play at the next level.
According to 247Sports, 15 Southern Nevada athletes are rated as three-star recruits or better by the site. Several players have the attention of many major college programs.
