The Alabama Sports Writers Association released its all-state football team Saturday morning, recognizing the top high school players across the state in the 2025 season.
Several local players were featured on the team, particularly from Hoover and Spain Park. Hoover's James Bryant, Jovon Pulliam and Jonah Winston were named to the Class 7A first team. Spain Park's Brock Bradley and Hudson Reed each found their names on the 6A first team.
Bryant had a strong year for the Bucs, converting 38-of-40 extra points and all 10 of his field goals. The highlight of his season was a 55-yard game-winner against Thompson.
Pulliam was a standout on a defense stacked with talent, as he piled up 91 tackles, including 13 for loss and nine sacks.
Winston is a do-it-all athlete for the Bucs, taking snaps at receiver, running back and quarterback at various points. He scored four rushing touchdowns and four receiving touchdowns, finishing 625 receiving yards.
Justyn Hartley finished with 75 tackles and seven sacks to land on the second team. Punter Grant Morrison averaged 40 yards per punt and was named to the second team as well.
For Spain Park, Bradley capped off a brilliant by throwing for 2,939 yards and 32 touchdowns. Reed has protected him for several years and played with Bradley at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic as well. Receiver Kena Rego was named honorable mention after posting a nearly-1,000 yard season.
