The 2023 high school season is winding down and with that comes class rankings updates. Next up is the 2026 Class. 

After a winter full of Preseason All State Events, Scout Days and tons of spring high school coverage across the state, the PBR Staff in NC has updated its 2026 Class Rankings. The 2026 Class in NC is another class that is well represented at the National Level. As always, the evaluation process is fluid, especially with a class this young and look for more changes to this class after a summer full of evaluations. The 2026 Class in NC is another talented class and has been expanded to the Top 50.
