Early fall player rankings: Class of 2023

PALM BEACH COUNTY – With the majority of this fall football regular season now in the rearview mirror, we can now turn our attention to the next few weeks ahead.

We were supposed to release an update of our player rankings from the Class of 2023 way back in August. But we decided to delay the release due to a slew of game cancellations that took place during Kickoff Classic week.

We were then supposed to release the rankings after all Week 6 games were played. But we pushed the release back even further due to Hurricane Ian either postponing or canceling more games.

In the spirit of fairness to all after Week 7, we feel that now (Tuesday, Oct. 11) is the right time to release our latest update.

As you will see below, we have eight new entries on the latest player rankings list for the Class of 2023.

Without wasting any time here, let us take a look at the updated list from No. 1 to No. 40 – plus 10 players who are Close to 40.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a whopping 15 players who made their debuts in our rankings for the Class of 2023.
