Larry Blustein Class Of 2017 Top 75 Prospects List

Larry BlockSFHSSports: Twitter | Facebook

During a yearly check by the National Football League, the area that is once again overwhelmingly stacked with more prospects than any other place in the country is South Florida.

The very fact that Miami-Dade and Broward Counties tip the talent scales in such an amazing and talented way, it's almost a guarantee that you will see a major college talent at any game that you attend.

For much of the past five decades, we have been fortunate to have followed some of the sport's finest as they began their careers on this athletic football fields in just about every community.

Having the chance to see thousands of football players firsthand from five feet away has truly made what we do the closest that you will come in being able to compare and evaluate prospects. Because we learned without the asset of having game film and information at our fingertips, doing it the "old school" way has taught us to be the ears, eyes and every other sense that goes into the total recruitment of an athlete.

Also, we have been fortunate to release and promote so many athletes throughout the year, several times.

The listing that we start out with is not the final one. Every member of this list and the dozens and dozens of prospects we get into the spotlight year round gives us that unique advantage of exposing every prospects – no matter how many stars or college offers.
