Class of 2026 Spring Rankings -Part 2

If you have followed us long enough you already know that when it comes to promoting prospects across the state of Florida, there are very few who are accurate and see the talent live.

While there are always going to be talented prospects that we haven't had the opportunity to watch, the great thing is that over the next year and a half, this Class of 2026 rankings will be updated five times.

That means that during the rest of the spring, summer and into the 2024 season, we will have the opportunity – via games, practices, camps, and combines – will have the opportunity to see more and more prospects.

In addition, when we are sent video links, grade information and other positives to promote the athletes, they will be added to rankings, and as we have done with previous classes, there could be as many as 1,000 players promoted and available to thousands of college coaches and fans around the globe.

Over the next week, we will spotlight several talented football players in this rising junior class who are listed in the spring ranking.

In addition, as new players are added in the next few months, they will be spotlighted as well.

After viewing this extensive initial list (https://prepredzone.com/florida/rankings/2026-rankings/), if you have prospects that you believe should be noticed, please send to: Larry Blustein, Floridakids1@aol.com.
