The summer is over, most of the top senior football recruits in the state have made their picks and turned their attention to their final high school season.
After a busy summer of official visits, 7-on-7 tournaments, workouts and more, it's time to update the USA Today Florida Network top 100.
St. Thomas Aquinas five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews has been No. 1 since the first top 100 list dropped in April and remains No. 1 Matthews committed to Texas A&M in May. Four of the top 10 recruits in the state — Matthews, IMG edge rusher Zyron Fortsall, Jesuit linebacker Kaden Henderson and IMG wide receiver Eric McFarland III — are committed to the Aggies.
Miami has commitments from two of the top three players in the state: Carol City five-star wide receiver Nick Lennear and Columbus five-star athlete A'mir Sears.
IMG leads all schools in the state with five players in the top 20, while Aquinas has four. No other school has more than one player ranked in the top 20. Carol City is the only other school with more than one player in the top 30.
