Hi all, I'm looking into colleges with strong football programs, particularly those known for producing successful NFL cornerbacks (DBs). Is there a list or resource that shows this information?
Hey there, I understand your interest in pursuing a collegiate football career at a school that has produced top NFL cornerbacks. While there is not a comprehensive list that I could refer you to, some colleges have particularly distinguished themselves in this regard.
1. Ohio State University: Known as "DBU" (Defensive Back University), Ohio State has produced successful NFL cornerbacks like Malcolm Jenkins, Shawn Springs, and Marshon Lattimore.
2. University of Alabama: Alabama has a rich history of producing NFL-ready players, especially with Coach Nick Saban who is renowned for producing well-trained defensive backs. Marlon Humphrey and Minkah Fitzpatrick both came from this program.
3. Louisiana State University (LSU): Also known as "DBU" to some, LSU has produced standouts like Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, and Tre'Davious White.
4. University of Florida: UF has consistently churned out top-flight defensive backs, including Joe Haden, Reggie Nelson, and Vernon Hargreaves III.
5. University of Miami: Also known for producing some top-notch NFL talent. Notable cornerbacks include Phillip Buchanon, Duane Starks, and Artie Burns.
Remember, while it's beneficial to be part of a high-profile football program, what's most important in the end is your individual performance, skill, determination and the ability to stand out in the field. It also doesn't hurt to consider the academic side as well, to make sure you're getting a great education while playing the sport you love. Good luck with your college search!
