The USA TODAY Florida Network top 100 is the annual list of the best senior football recruits in the state. IMG leads the way with 11 players.
Spring football has come and gone, summer workouts are complete, and Kickoff Classics have wrapped up.
Now, the real fun begins this week as programs across the state get ready for their season openers.
It's time for us to update the USA TODAY Florida Network Top 100 ahead of the first week of the regular season. The Top 100 is our annual list of Florida's top senior recruits.
Previous No. 1s include Zephyrhills defensive back D.J. Pickett (2025) and Chaminade Madonna wide receiver Jeremiah Smith (2024). Pickett signed with LSU in December while Smith starred for Ohio State's national championship team as a true freshman last fall.
This year's list is flooded with prospects from Miami-Dade and Broward counties — three of this year's Top 5 players are from South Florida, along with one-fifth of the Top 50.
IMG Academy is always pumping out elite talent, and have 11 players that made the cut in our latest update.
Miami leads the in-state powers with 10 Top 100 commits. FSU and Florida both have nine Top 100 commits each.
Texas has dominated at the top of the rankings, and their three Sunshine State commits are all No. 1 in the state for their respective positions.
The high school and college commitments listed for each USA TODAY Florida Network Class of 2026 Top 100 player are based on information from Aug. 17.
