The final individual awards of the 2020 high school football season were announced last month as individual regions revealed their respective all-region teams.
The all-region teams were compiled independently by each region and submitted to the Deseret News for publication. Each region has its own criteria for determining all-region teams.
The MVPs for the regions who pick one, including co-MVPs, are Cade Harris (Roy), Isaiah Glasker (Bingham), Jaxson Dart (Corner Canyon), Parker Buchanan (Box Elder), Lander Barton (Brighton), Joe Smith (Orem), Raider Damuni (Timpview), Braxton Turner (Wasatch), Enoch Takau (Pine View), Ryan Jordan (Pine View), Kru Huxford (Stansbury), Seth Warner (Park City), Kasen Carlsen (Sky View) and Trey Lund (Juab).
Many of these athletes were previously recognized on the Deseret News all-state football teams.
The five independent schools also got together to name an all-independent team as well.
Here’s a look at the all-region teams for all the 6A, 5A and 4A regions, and two of the 3A regions.
