The players listed below are not orally committed to college football programs yet. We attempted to rank the top 50 (with a bonus #51). Agree or disagree with the ranking, the true purpose is to get college football coaches to take note of prospects who could potentially be productive players at the collegiate level. Now, it doesn’t stop here. We will email out nearly 100 senior prospects to college football coaches who recruit the area at different levels.
