This especially rings true in football and allows athletes from other countries to transfer to the states as well. In addition to the prep schools, the public school ball is <strong>nothing</strong> to sneeze at either. While the majority of the FBS athletes coming out of New England hail from Massachusetts or Connecticut, there is talent in Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire as well. This area of the country is on the rise.</p>
