Tom’s Travel Notebook: Heading South

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm back from my trip down south seeing some of the nation's top football prospects. Today's article features recruits from both the talent-rich states of Florida and Alabama. These youngsters stood out both on and off the field and in my mind have a bright future at the next level. They will make a few lucky programs very happy. With all of them being only juniors, they could see an even further bump in their recruitment following the wrap-up of the 2023 season. Look for them to hit the weights hard this off-season and be even better in 2024. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='829530' first='Jessiah' last='McGrew'] 6‘2“ 180 is a fast-rising safety prospect.
