In 2014, the South Florida area had nine players in the Rivals top-100 rankings including future NFL players in Dalvin Cook, Sony Michel, and Chad Thomas. Multiple five-stars, not guys sneaking onto the list at numbers 95-100.
Flash forward only a handful of years and South Florida is averaging five players in the top-100 by 2022 and 2023 per the 247 composite rankings. The 2024 class looks like more of the same: five players in the top-100.
