While we already know the running back story in the Sunshine State, the Classes of 2022, 2023 and 2024 are ready to write a new chapter.
When the Under Armour Combine came to Ives Park in North Miami Dade County on March 7th, there were a number of quality football players who made a lasting impression.
If you were one of those who felt the talent at this year’s Under Armour Combine in Miami was not as good as usual, maybe you need to look further.
As we have broken down each and every position that attended the annual evaluation of talent, today we check out the defensive linemen. Whether they were 2022 or 2023 – or played interior or defensive end, there was simply no denying the talent that came out to compete on the defensive line.
While there are many positions in Florida that are known for producing top-flight talent, quarterback has really never been one of them.
Before you press the panic button and start to point to every quarterback from the Sunshine State that has made it, take a step back and understand that it’s not that we don’t put out some amazing and Heisman Trophy-winning talent. But the reality is that there is very little depth at the position – at an elite level.
Through the years, the one position that continues to improve is linebackers.
While there have been so many impressive prospects in the state of Florida – and south Florida in particular – over the years, the 2021 season will certainly showcase some elite outside, middle and inside linebackers, who can fill any scheme colleges from across the country run.
When last weekend’s Under Armour Combine took place at Ives Park in North Miami-Dade County, there were some who felt that the level of talent at the event didn’t measure up to the usual star cavalcade this region offers up.
But that general statement was made without really thinking things out. This is south Florida. No matter who may be missing, there are tons of athletes ready to step in and steal that spotlight. The depth at every position is mind-boggling, to say the least.
