State Supremacy: Fla., Calif. or Texas?
Let’s break it down. When it comes to positional analysis, Florida leads the way in most categories. The Sunshine State has the top quarterback in the group in Oviedo Hagerty gunslinger Jeff Driskel and the best tight end in West Palm Beach Dwyer star tight end Nick O’Leary. However, it’s on defense where the Sunshine State truly separates itself from the field.
Florida dominates along the defensive line with bookend pass rushers in Cape Coral Island Coast standout Aaron Lynch and Fort Pierce Central big man Giorgio Newberry and stout tackle Timmy Jernigan from Lake City Columbia. At linebacker, the team is led by the nation’s No. 2 player in St. Augustine Pedro Menendez superstar Tony Steward and the secondary is loaded with super safeties Karlos Williams from Davenport Ridge and Wayne Lyons from Ft. Lauderdale Dillard. While Texas and California have talent on defense, they can’t match the depth of Florida.
