College football coaches, as you know, many talented incoming 9th graders make popularity decisions entering high school. While there are talented players not on this list, these are the guys who have already produced on varsity as freshmen and separated themselves at their position in South Florida.
Rising Stars evaluates more than stats — factoring in Division I upside, strength of schedule, consistency, and long-term projection. This list is built for future 3, 4, and 5-star prospects.
The blue check represents players who earned Rising Stars All-South Florida recognition back-to-back years after producing on varsity as both 8th graders and freshmen. Please make sure to visit their high schools, college football coaches.
