Lakewood High and St. Pete (Pinellas County) stand up! Dante Fowler made you proud at Florida and now he will represent his neck of the woods in Jacksonville as the Jaguars selected Fowler as the number 3 overall pick in the 2015 draft. When he was selected, he became the highest draft pick in the 4 County BCP coverage area ahead of:
1969 Larry Smith 1st (08) Robinson RB (Florida)
2005 Mike Williams 1st (10) Plant WR (USC)
1991 Alvin Harper 1st (12) Frostproof WR (Tennessee)
1972 John Reaves 1st (14) Robinson QB (Florida)
