<p>While we bring fans a look at these prospects who are searching for college attention, we also send this information and more to assist in the recruiting process.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For over a half century, we have been honored to help football prospects across the state of Florida get some well-deserved recognition.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We not only put these prospects on this website for all fans to see and follow, but all the information that is provided to us is passed on to the over 500 college coaches that are part of our recruiting coverage. Today's <strong>PROSPECT SHEET</strong> will be <strong>BARTOW (@BartowFb),</strong> coached by <strong>Tyler Eden</strong> who takes over the Yellow Jackets with plenty of optimism and enthusiasm. This program finished 5-6 a year ago – with wins over Lakeland Kathleen, Naples Golden Gate, Davenport Ridge Community, Auburndale and Haines City in the regular season before losing in the first round of the state playoffs to Lake Minneola</p>
