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.
For over a half century, we have been honored to help football prospects across the state of Florida get some well-deserved recognition.
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. This is something that we continue to do throughout the year.
Today’s PROSPECT SHEET will be BLOUNTSTOWN (@BlountstownFB1), coached by Greg Jordan, who’s Tigers finished 2022 with a 9-5 record.

While the football team has enjoyed success and notoriety this season, boasting three national recruits that are not only some of the best in the country, but among the Class of 2024 Top 105 prospects in the state, is something that you rarely see.
