Hey guys! I'm currently a junior in high school and trying to sort out colleges for football. I've been focusing on Division 2 teams in Florida so I can stay close to home, but I'm not sure which schools would be the best fit. Anyone have any suggestions on D2 football programs in Florida?
Definitely! There are several Division 2 football programs in Florida that you might want to consider. Here's a list of schools with D2 football teams:
1. Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in Melbourne
2. University of West Florida (UWF) in Pensacola
3. Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Fort Lauderdale – their program is fairly new, they began in 2019.
These schools offer a range of academic programs and campus environments. It's important to find a school that aligns with your academic interests and offers a supportive environment for sports. I suggest researching each institution, visiting their campuses (if possible), and reaching out to their football coaches or athletic departments to learn more about the football programs. Additionally, speak with any current or former players to get a firsthand perspective on the team culture, coaching styles, and overall experience.
Finally, think about what you want academically from a college. Each of these schools has its own strengths in terms of majors and programs, so make sure you are considering the right match based on your academic and career goals, in addition to the football program. Good luck with your search!
