With these commitments and visits being reported, Northstar Football News is going in-depth to reveal which of Minnesota’s high school program’s hold some of the deepest and most talented recruiting classes in the state. This seventh edition to the series will take us West about an hour and a half from Minneapolis to Litchfield, MN. The town of around 7,000 is about to be well known for something else besides its illustrious and notable residents/natives as its high school: the Litchfield Dragons, boast an athletic & talented c/o 2021 recruiting class with four standout athletes that helped them beat a tough Holy Family squad in the first round of sections, as well as some big regular season wins against Dassel-Cokato and New London-Spicer. Although they lost a tough rematch to Dassel-Cokato in sections, the 2020 season has the potential to be one of the best in recent history for the Dragons, as there is a diverse core of talent on the Litchfield team that features skill-position weapons and big-bye capable of getting it done in the trenches. While they will graduate some ballers this spring, Northstar Football News is happy to present this Litchfield Dragons edition of “2020-21 MN Recruiting Hotbeds” where we will take a closer review at the impressive ‘21 senior class. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!
