High school football schedules for the 2026 season are rolling out rapidly across the country, and Alabama continues to stand out as a premier pipeline for college recruits. This upcoming fall is no different, with numerous programs nationwide now finalizing and releasing their complete 2026 schedules.

One of the toughest high school football schedules in the entire state of Alabama belongs to the Pell City Panthers (AL) as they will be taking on many of the top teams around. With a new coaching staff and several newcomers to the roster, the Panthers are poised to make noise in Alabama this fall.

A big addition from the off-season is Class of 2027 four-star EDGE Ba’Roc Willis, who transferred in from Moody (Ala.) to play at Pell City (Ala.) for his senior season. Willis is the No. 9 player in the state of Alabama and the country’s No. 27 EDGE, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.

Willis was a major piece to the defensive puzzle that helped lift Moody to winning the 2025 Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) Class 5A state championship as the defensive end racked up 125 total tackles, 23 for a loss, nine sacks and two fumble recoveries.

First-year Pell City head coach , a former Georgia linebacker, led Moody the last four seasons since 2022 and guided the program to its first-ever state championship when they defeated Vigor.
