Grayson High School is once again making headlines, earning the No. 6 spot in USA Today’s prestigious Super 25 national preseason football rankings for 2025.
The Loganville-based Rams are riding high after finishing No. 7 nationally last year, energizing fans and boosting expectations for the upcoming season.
With senior quarterback Travis Burgess leading the offense and dynamic junior running backs Ashton Turner and Joel Bradford returning, the team’s backfield is set to impress.
On defense, five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson headlines a unit determined to stay dominant, despite the loss of four star defensive linemen to graduation.

If the new defensive line steps up, Grayson could soar even higher in the national rankings this fall. Read More... |
