Pretty good list. These guys at least deserve honorable mentions IMO.

Sterling Palmer (STA 1989)
Lamarcus Joyner (STA 2010)
James Williams (AH 2021)

Joyner probably deserves 1st team status he was USA Today National Defensive POY and #1 DB nationally his last year at St Thomas Aquinas.

We never got to see James full potential due to covid and he transferred around constantly. But as a prospect he’s as highly touted a S recruit in the last decade.

Sterling Palmer another blue chip FSU bust. He was one of the Top5 overall players in the nation in the 89 class. It was the transition class when Jimmy left for Dallas. I believe Palmer was the #2 LB in the nation that season the #1 LB was a guy named Jessie Armstead you might’ve heard of him. Palmer switched to DE at Florida State and was either a 2nd or 3rd round pick I think. But coming out of STA he was supposed to be the next big thing he’s a Broward legend.

Tyson Campbell probably deserves an honorable mention top10 prospect nationally and a pure stud in track as well.

- I waas editing the list because i had Asante Samuel as a nickel...but honestly in high school he did more work at qb. So Joyner is on thjere.

-James Williams i will likely add on.. He is so recent it slipped me. He had more effect than Pat Surtain Jr. So i can add him there.

Yeah Joyner was legit. James is recent so is Surtain but both def deserve to be mentioned.

Y'all know Rooster is the 2nd leading rusher in Broward history, right?

If we're strictly talking about HS career he has to be on the team.

I had Duke as the 1st team All-Purpose. But a lot of people would probably disagree with me on that as the list of Dade RBs goes on and on for days.

Broward's secondary is very intimidating size wise. They were all over 190 as High School players

Patrick Peterson is still the best high school CB I’ve ever seen not just in Broward. Not just in Florida but in the nation. Literally no weakness in his game. It’s like he was built in a lab to play CB. When I think of the standard at CB he’s what I think of. Still stings to this day that L$U stole him away from us last minute.

Imagine how much more hyped our already #1 overall 08 class would’ve been with him. He’s well on his way to Canton.

Gotta have Martavious Houston from Boyd Anderson in that secondary over Major Wright. He was a monster. Absolutely made for the FS position and was the #1 safety in the country when he came out.

**** I didn’t realize how good that front seven would be.

I remember going to a Plantation vs STA game a few years back and Aquinas had a three man front of the Bosa Bros and Anthony Moten. It was like watching an NFL line go against high school kids. Nick Bosa was only a sophomore but he was already like 6’3” 240. It was a pretty solid Plantation team that won like 7 or 8 regular season games but they just got manhandled.

This has to be about what they did after high school. For example, James Jones never played TE in high school, he was a RB. At Florida they 1st moved him to FB then to TE. Any all Broward team that does not have Rod Backer from Ely on it has to be about what they did after high school, because he is arguably one of the greatest high school players to play in Broward, and this is coming from a Dillard Panther.
 
Until recently, there were very few strong football programs in Broward. Obviously STA has been one of the best for a while and Dillard and Ely have been traditional powers but most of the county west of I-95 was rural/suburban for a long time. I graduated high school in 97 and I drove past at least three cow fields on my way to school every day. And I didn’t even live that far west. Big population booms and changing demographics (a lot of people moved from Dade) have really impacted local football. I’d still say Miami Dade is the cream of the high school football crop but the talent levels in Broward are right there now. More kids, more schools, more talent than before.

Why is this? Better coaching than Dade?

I dont know maybe its just a phenomenon because its still the same to this day.

But ill venture to guess because Broward has had a more sophisticated passing game than Dade the whole time. So Broward focuses in or plays alot of guys that may have been wrs or qbs in dade more so at DB.

I mean look at the recent broward guys...there is a dearth of db talent still popping out yearly.
