As of the end of the 2025 Season, 101 players who attended high schools in Nevada have played or are currently playing in the NFL.
That number may increase this fall when recently drafted players play their first regular-season games as pros.
Nevada ranks No. 40 in the nation among high schools that produce NFL players, and is the eighth-best in the West.
A total of 33 schools have produced at least one player.
Nevada’s Bishop Gorman High School has produced 16 NFL players to lead the State, followed by Reno High School with seven, and Valley High School with six.
Several players from the high schools listed here went on to play college football at schools and conferences in the West, including the Pac-12, Mountain West, Big West, Big Sky, and schools now affiliated with the Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC.
