Top FSU Football Players All Time From South Florida

From the time FSU football fielded their first team back in 1947, there has always been a tie to the South Florida area. From Miami to Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach on the east coast and Fort Myers on the west coast, the Seminoles have been able to go in and get some of the top recruits annually – recruits that have helped shape the football program in Tallahassee.

The pipeline was further expanded when former coach Bobby Bowden took over in the mid-1970’s, as Florida State became really the only program that was able to go in year after year and compete with the Miami Hurricanes for recruits in the area.
