Continue ReadingWhen Prep Redzone Florida released our updated Class of 2024 Florida High School Football Rankings a few weeks ago, there were several new faces that popped up in a list of over 300 prospects.
Because the state of Florida is so stacked with talent and new prospects moving in and emerging, these lists are indeed ever changing.
A list created in April or May before the start of spring will change in just a few months. That is the way that it’s always been.
In any state that has over 500 schools and nearly 15,000 prospects it is never easy to evaluate and rank every player. That’s why we constantly update from camps, combines, 7-on-7 events, spring practices and games – and throughout the regular season.
In the coming weeks – before the updated juniors (Class of 2025) are released, we will take the time to introduce you to some prospects that may not have been on the radar before.
With 11 colleges, 250 teams and thousands of athletes evaluated live this June and July, we have watched many new faces appear and completely change the way their recruitment is going.
While many are familiar with our prospects that were rated in the spring, we uncovered several new players that we will share with you.
