6A Football Preseason Rankings: Cleveland Storm
NMPreps preseason countdown of all 6A New Mexico high school football teams. #nmpreps
NO. 2 CLEVELAND STORM
City: Rio Rancho, NM
2021 Record: 13-0 overall, 5-0 district
2021 Playoffs: 6A State Champions
Head Coach: Robert Garza *1st Year
NMPreps 6A Preseason Rank: #2 (of 21)
NMPreps Top-40 Preseason Rank: Coming Soon
Preview: Much of the focus leading into the 2022 season has been centered around new head coach Robert Garza. The longtime Storm assistant takes over with the departure of former head coach Heath Ridenhour taking a position with the University of New Mexico. The good news here for Garza will be the return of quarterback Evan Wysong (2023), a UNM commit, that is a top-5 player in our NMPreps200 rankings. Also, back is the overall No. 1 2024 prospect in Stratton Shufelt who can dominate on both sides of the football for the Storm. Let's make it three for three as the Storm will also return a top receiver in the state with 2023 Nic Trujillo coming off a near 1,000-yard season. The Storm have weapons and continue to reload but the big looming question will be the transition from Ridenhour to Garza.
