States that produce the most CFB All Americans

The United States of Recruiting

Where do college football's best players come from? Like in an election, winning in the battleground counties can produce classes full of recruits that make the difference in winning it all.

These four states are at the top when it comes to football recruiting

Texas, Florida, California and Georgia produce almost half of the four- and five-star prospects, and Clemson football signed nine of them

In the 2019 recruiting cycle, Texas, Florida, California and Georgia combined to produce 47 percent of the four and five-star recruits in the country, according to 247Sports. Each of those four states churned out at least 40 blue-chip high school players in the current 2019 recruiting class.

Well, with 20 4* athletes on our roster we are not as far behind the rest of the Top 15 as I thought. I believe that Ohio St has 59 4* & 5* players but that is top tier. Hopefully the majority of our top talent are lower classmen who will develop.

Yes, OSU with a mere 3 times as many as NU...... those bastages....

 

[Bleed Red]

As long as they bring in more stars than they are losing, we are getting better, right?

I think one of the things that separates teams like OSU, Clemson, Alabama, ect from others isn't just the number of four stars but the number of the top tier of guys - true difference makers. Of course great players can come from under the radar but how many top 100, top 50, top 25 guys have we signed? We're making some headway there it seems the last couple of classes but so many of those guys are all going to the same few schools now.

IMO I think when you get down to players ranked over 200 - 250, whether someone gets one of the latter four star tags vs falling just outside of that can be a little arbitrary. If you look at our average player grades it's usually in the 87 - 88 range in the composite ratings. The last couple years have been over 88. But many of the other Big Ten West classes are now averaging 85 to 87 or more. Not that big of a gap really. Nothing like a Clemson or Alabama having a rating of almost 94. I know it's all just assigned numbers but there's nothing arbitrary about a lot of the kids that those schools are landing every cycle who are unmistakably gifted with tools that could potentially allow them to be future first day draft picks. You can recognize it right away. There really aren't all that many of those guys out there.

Of the past 10 classes, there were zero ESPN top 100 players from the state of Nebraska. ZERO.

That stat really bums me the texas out

I missed this when you first posted it, so I came across this thread for the first time today while going through threads in the Recruiting forum. Thanks for going to all the trouble to post all of this. It's interesting stuff.

The states with the slimmest history of college football talent production

"Here’s how long it’s been since all 50 states and the District of Columbia had recruits rated two, three, four, and five stars on the industry-consensus
247Sports Composite

This list runs back to 2000, the start of the Composite era. At the bottom of the table, you’ll see a list of the 16 states that had five-stars and everything else in the 2020 class."

The states that produce the least college football talent

How long’s it been since your state had a five-star?

www.bannersociety.com

Nebraska at #14, from the bottom.

"Iowa’s consistency despite a lack of in-state blue-chip talent is worth calling out, too. It’s easy to forget how hard it is to find good players in Iowa, because the Hawkeyes have found ways to do it for so long. The same statement’s true for Wisconsin, which hasn’t had a five-star come out of its own state since 2007."

"Another way to measure a state’s potency as a recruiting pipeline is just to count up the four- and five-star players.

Florida, Texas, and California are historically the leaders in that count every year, but Georgia has finally overtaken California to join the top three in 2020."

That means 70% of the sport’s blue-chip recruits have come from one of these states. Hope you’re close to one of them!
