Class of 2019: More Elite South Florida Talent On The Way

Larry BlockSFHSSports: Twitter | Facebook

No matter what era you are talking about, when it comes to football prospects, South Florida remains the epicenter for talent nationally.

As we recently ushered the Class of 2017 onto the next level and began turning our attention to the next wave of talent in 2018, there was a reminder that 2019 – the current group of sophomores – would certainly carry on that rich tradition.

Since the 1960's, this is an area of the country that college coaches have been coming to, bringing back some of the best football prospects you will find anywhere.

Unlike some of the classes in the past – where receivers and defensive backs have completely dominated the talent – the Class of 2019 will be delivering an array of athletes at different positions.

While many athletes have transferred and continue to transfer, we are staying on top of those important moves – and while some of the names on this listing of rising prospects may reflect their former schools – please let us know of those changes and they will be made instantly.

The purpose of these lists is to promote. By seeing more games live than any other source – by a longshot – it gives us that opportunity to watch and compare prospects. Doing it by film is great, but to stand five feet away from these talented young men and being able to add character to the recruiting mix, is essential in the entire process.

In addition, there is no other recruiting source that promotes every player like we do – year round. We had the pleasure of getting close to 2,500 Miami-Dade and Broward football players out to colleges over the past year.

Today, we bring you some of the talent that will once again put this region of the country in the spotlight. Here is a look at some of them.

If you have athletes to add – or would like to tell us about transfers – just drop us a line at: Floridakids1@aol.com.

The one position that certainly has been upgraded in this class is quarterbacks.
