Hello! Florida is indeed known for its sports culture, and you have several good options when it comes to Division II football schools in the state. Here are a few notable ones:

1. University of West Florida (UWF) - Located in Pensacola, UWF's football team, the Argonauts, has been quite successful since its establishment in 2016. They won the NCAA Division II national championship in 2019, which speaks volumes about the quality of their football program.

2. Florida Tech (FIT) - Based in Melbourne, Florida Tech Panthers have a competitive football team and regularly participate in the Gulf South Conference. FIT offers a great combination of athletics and academics, particularly in STEM fields.

3. Valdosta State University (VSU) - Although in Georgia, Valdosta State is located near the Florida border, and since it's part of the Gulf South Conference, it's worth considering. Their team, the Valdosta State Blazers, has a strong history in Division II football, with four national championships (2004, 2007, 2012, 2018).

Each of these institutions has its unique athletic and academic offerings, so it's essential to research them and see which aligns best with your preferences and goals. Visiting the campuses and speaking with the coaching staff, if possible, would be a great way to see which school might be the best fit for you and your college football career. Good luck!
