2024 NEW JERSEY FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS
In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and in 2021, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states two years ago.
We went to all 50 states in winter of 2023. No one has ever done that before…until now!
This is still a one-man operation for the most part, but we have some help with some partners on Instagram like OC Student Sections, Stadium Geeks, Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.
I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.
We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December.
If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.
Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion.
We continue with the 2024 Football Student Section Season with a preview of New Jersey.
I feel like we haven’t figured this state out yet, but we have recently discovered a Student Section that can be come the new power in this state. Maybe we’ll see more big time Student Sections come up this fall.
Last Football season, we had the St. Thomas Aquinas Trojan Army as the top Football Student Section in New Jersey. The Trojan Army promoted themselves quite well and look like such a fun crew. There’s a specific filter they use for their photos that make it fun, but regardless they’re promoting their Student Section on social media and that is all it takes to get recognized as one of the best.
In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for New Jersey, we have to go with Don Bosco Prep. We know they have a crazy group of gentlemen in the stands, but we rarely see it on social media. They deserve the recognition, but if they show us they’re still the same crazy group, they will get recognized as one of the best in the state and the east coast.
Will Don Bosco Prep take the top spot in the state or will the Trojan Army take another one in the Garden State? Let’s find out.
2024 NEW JERSEY FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS
- St. Augustine Prep Richland Rowdies
This Student Sections looks fun and insane in the stands. The Rowdies look like they’re having the most fun out of all the Student Sections. If they market themselves on social media and show off their Student Section on Instagram on a consistent basis, they will finish as the best Student Section in New Jersey by the end of the season.
