PALM BEACH COUNTY – The offseason flew by so fast.
And now with the spring football circuit going on strong throughout our area, the Class of 2022 is now firmly on the minds of onlookers everywhere. College coaches, scouts, and teams will want to see what they’re made of and what potential they may have for the next level.
In some cases, there are already a few big-time standouts with multiple college offers from the Power 5 and Group of 5 schools. But as we all know by now, production trumps everything else, which means that it may not matter where a college prospect actually ends up next year.
It is what one does on this high school level. It is what one does on the college level, whether it be with a Power 5, Group of 5, HBCU, FCS, Division II, Division III, NAIA, JUCO, or prep school.
