With the Florida High school football regular season finished and playoffs underway, it's time for the USA TODAY Florida Network to release its final update to its class of 2026 rankings.
We have seen players in person at games and camps around the state, studied game film, and spoken to dozens of coaches and analysts to get the best information possible on each recruit.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhile American Heritage quarterback Dia Bell (Texas commit) remains at the No. 1 spot, the Top 10 has seen some significant movement.
Previous No. 1s include Zephyrhills defensive back D.J. Pickett last season and Chaminade Madonna wide receiver Jeremiah Smith in 2024. Pickett signed with LSU in December, while Smith starred for Ohio State's national championship team as a true freshman this past season.
Kenton Dopson III makes his debut in the Top 100 after reclassing. New faces in the list also include Miami Edison's Victor Santino and Kenneth Goodwin.
South Florida, a typical hotbed of recruits, boasts five of the top-20 players in the state. IMG Academy, a perennial stable for national talent, has 12 players on the final iteration of the Top 100.
