High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Tennessee, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.

One of the top high school football programs out of Tennessee that recently released their 2026 schedule was the McCallie School Blue Tornadoes rolling out their fall slate. What is evident once again is the Blue Tornadoes are not ducking anyone in the state as McCallie School will face state powers Baylor School, Ensworth and Lipscomb Academy. The Blue Tornadoes will face three out-of-state programs in Chattanooga, with St. Mary’s Ryken (Md.), Mallard Creek (NC) and Loudon Sports Academy (Va.), respectively.

McCallie School will have a new starting quarterback behind center this upcoming 2026 campaign in Class of 2028 Louis Fortier, who threw for 893 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025. The Blue Tornadoes graduated a few key starters from last year’s squad, but should remain a viable contender for the TSSAA’s Division II-AAA state championships.
