Broward County is, as always, one of the premier hotbeds for high school football talent in the entire country and college recruiters will flock to South Florida all year to check out top prospects at Chaminade-Madonna, American Heritage, St. Thomas Aquinas and more.

In the Class of 2024 alone, Broward has multiple five-star prospects and nearly 10 blue-chip prospects.

In all, eight schools are featured among the top 25 recruits in the county this year and 15 of the 25 are blue-chip prospects.

The full breakdown by position: two quarterbacks, seven running backs, six wide receivers, one edge rusher, one linebacker, three cornerbacks, three safeties and one athlete. No lineman made the top 25.

All rankings are based on grades from 247Sports’ composite rankings for the Classes of 2024 and 2025. Players are listed with name, position, class, high school team and college commitment.
