High school football: 2A all-state teams

Class 2A MVP

Aaron Austad, Manti, DL, 6-1, 235, Sr.

Dominated both sides of the line for the state champs. As a defensive end he finished with a team-high 84 tackles and six sacks. Offensively, he was probably the team's best lineman, but an injury necessitated him playing blocking tight end, and he still dominated.
