When head coach Mike Norman, his assistant coaches and returning players talk about the 2024 season, they all look back and have to be proud of what their program accomplished.
For the Fort Lauderdale NSU University School Sharks, getting to the Sunshine State Athletic Association state title game was certainly something that many never predicted at the start of the year, but this program never quit.
Losing a tough 49-42 game to Oviedo The Master’s Academy, plenty of players and coaches were instrumental in the success of the 9-3 season.
With two consecutive playoff seasons that showcased plenty of talent, this team now looks ahead to 2025 with plenty of optimism as several players return with talent and experience.
Here is a look at some of those talented players to keep an eye on the rest of the spring and into the summer:
