All Star all time State of Florida High School Football Team. Please note how many played for the U!

I didn't count them but sure we dominate!

Any from Florida High Schools that you think are missing?

really well done list imo with the caveat that it's really based on best pro careers of players who played high school in florida.

aka in before @SWFLHurricane says Freddie Miles should be on there over Emmitt Smith

Freddie was much better in "HS" than Emmitt. I saw both play in HS....

How do you think Chris Johnson compares to say Emmitt? Even though Chris is undersized (ala Emmitt) he is tough and super fast (Emmitt was not considered super fast). Chris highlights are awesome!

I saw Emmitt play his Sr yr at Escambia....Johnson is much faster. Emmitt was just above average at UF, and then had the privilege of running behind arguably the Greatest OL in NFL History. Don't get me wrong, Emmitt was a Great NFL RB... But Freddie was the best HS RB I've ever seen, with Gore and Troy Davis right behind him.

Anquan Boldin is the best player I ever saw live

 

[fraggle]

Michael Irvin was the most dominate high school player I ever saw with Tucker Frederickson right in there. Russel Smith was impressive in High School too, averaged 10 yards a carry.

Even if you're going with pro careers as a gage, I would put Frank Gore in there over Emmitt Smith. Gore is top five all time and was WAY better than Emmitt Smith at every level.

If Barry Sanders ran behind Nate Newton, Larry Allen, Erick Williams, Mark Tuinei, and Stepnowski....any discussion about who's the Greatest RB in NFL History would be null & void....

Great list that only scratches the surface of greats from Florida over time.

They misspelled Michael Irving.

I saw Freddie Miles in 1979 take a pitch out, and go 85yds like nothing I've seen since...looked like Santana's PR vs Pitt...but faster.

DEAC!!!!!

That was a BAD MAN.

If simply pure speed, few compare with the late Houston McTear.

Houston is from Baker Fl in the Panhandle, near where my stepson was born in Milton, Fl...

Yeah, great story from back in the day. Had the chance to catch up with him in Stockholm 20 years ago or so. Sadly, he passed away too young.

I don’t know about HS Lamar over Daunte, Tebow or Anquan… (HS QB Anquan).

He’s the best for me regardless though I’m a huge Earl Campbell fan but totally different styles, size…

 

[FuriousStyles]

It’s natural for folks to be biased to people from their era…or who they actually saw play. And this state has had some animals at RB but an all time list for FL that doesn’t have Travis Henry in the honorable mention group is laughable .

And if we’re keeping it a buck… Sean T as a HS RB was better than a few guys on that list.
