Through the 2017 season, the Iowa Newspaper Association (INA) had a long-standing tradition of recognizing and honoring high school athletes through its All-State program. Each year, the members of the association have made their selections for the football All-State teams in each class.

Despite the INA's decision to end the All-State program, the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association (IPSWA) formed to carry on the long-standing tradition of the All-State program by picking the state's best to be members of the All-State teams.

Below are Mount Vernon Football players who have been awarded with All-State selections by both the INA and IPSWA.
