Florida High School Football Top 25 State Rankings - Nov. 4, 2025

Jones enters the Top 25 after ending the regular season on a six game winning streak

St. Thomas Aquinas vs American Heritage from Oct. 24, 2025 / Jeff Klein

As the majority of the teams across the Sunshine State concluded their regular season, it is time to take a look at the latest top 25 high school football rankings for the state of Florida.

In arguably the top high school football matchup in the country last week, St. Thomas Aquinas defeated Chaminade-Madonna 27-21. Even with the loss, the Lions maintain their #3 ranking.

Meanwhile, Vero Beach and Southridge enter the top 10 as they both had dominating wins that saw each of these two proud programs conclude their regular season with 40+ point victories.

The two biggest surprises from last week's action is when Lakeland fell to The First Academy in double overtime, and when Choctawhatchee were defeated by Enterprise (AL) on the road.

Meanwhile, just inside the top 20, we have a trio of teams from the Jacksonville Metro Area, Bolles, St. Augustine and Mandarin, who have a legitimate shot to make a run at a state championship.

Lastly, with Atlantic losing their first game of the season last week, Jones takes their place at #25 after their victory over Ocoee.
