St. Thomas Aquinas to the NFL

[User-4525]

I came across this tweet and found it very interesting. Everyone knows about the talent that comes through St. Thomas, but by the start of next season 11 STA alumni could be on NFL rosters.

@FlaHSFootball: If the 2014 NFL Draft goes as expected St. Thomas Aquinas (@STA_Football) will likely have five former players drafted. #flhsfb #NFLDraft

Saint Thomas Aquinas, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (6)

Geno Atkins, CIN; Giovani Bernard, CIN; Marcus Gilbert, PIT; Leonard Hankerson, WAS; Major Wright, CHI; Sam Young, BUF

Wow.

That's gotta be the most of any HS currently, right?

 

[TheMatador]

Top three schools are Norland, STA and Pahokee with a total of 17 NFL players.

Only one went through UM: Hankerson.

they currently have 6 which is tied for #1 with norland, but after this draft they will be standing alone

Had no idea Geno Atkins went to STa, how did I never hear about him during his recruitment?

They'll be adding around 5 more within the next 2 drafts-

Roberson
Greene
Hart
Bosa
Joyner

Might be missing a couple...

they are adding 5 more within this draft alone. In 5 years they might be in the low 20s

That's the sad part, that only ONE stayed home! Hopefully our boys start staying home like they use to and the bridge and fence around the "State of Miami" is rebuilt and kept in tact!

^^^I was just going to say the same thing. I'm sure he'll get drafted. If not he'll sign as a UFA.

Yep, the other player is probably James White rb for Wisconsin...

I think we figured out the puzzle i forgot about him. The other issue i have looking at the next bunch of kids like Bosa. I asked on TOS prior to getting banned why he wasnt a top target. AG didnt not make that kid a top target now we lost him and now we will lose his Brother which is another beast at STA.

That means nothing these days ,loyalty what is this? So we shouldnt of really pushed for him because of your reason? How many kids who family went to Miami did not chose us.

I'm not sure if you're being serious? Dad, mom, & uncle went to OSU. He was at the top of OSU's board. Grew up in an environment pro-OSU. I never said we shouldn't have pushed for him, but he was going to OSU the whole time. Same exact thing will happen with the little brother. I criticized the staff for not offering or pushing for certain players, but not at all mad about bosa.

And you tell me... there haven't been a plethora of prospects with ties that Bosa had, at the top of the board, that we missed on.
