Florida is a hotbed of college football recruiting.
Along with California and Texas, it annually produces the most blue chip high school recruits in the nation.

Quarterback Bryce Carpenter and wide receiver Jaivon Heiligh were teammates at Venice High last year, and essentially came to CCU as a package following their record-setting senior seasons last year.
