Who is ready for Super Bowl Sunday?! We dive into a long list of 26 formers high school football prospects throughout the Midwest that are playing or on the roster in Super Bowl LVI happening in just a couple hours. Here is a list of states that have the most talent playing in the Super Bowl in order. The state of Ohio wins the trophy in this year's Super Bowl with 10 former high school football prospects from both teams. I am certainly not surprised whatsoever about this, with the massive football talent coming out of there, as well as the Bengals stocking up and keeping their homegrown talent in-state, even as a NFL franchise.
