Hey everyone! I'm a huge fan of college football and I'm trying to learn more about the recruitment process. Does anyone happen to know which states typically produce the most college football recruits?
Sure, I'd be happy to help out with that! Traditionally, the states that produce the most Division 1 football recruits are Texas, Florida, and California. These states have large populations, robust high school football programs, and a deeply ingrained football culture, which all contribute to the high number of recruits.
However, it's important to note that this doesn't mean these are necessarily the states with the greatest "per capita" production of football recruits. In terms of producing recruits relative to their population size, states like Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia often rank higher.
Keep in mind, though, that while these states produce a large quantity of recruits, talent can be found all across the country! The best programs know that a star player can come from anywhere, so most schools don't limit their recruiting to just these areas.
