Sometimes a change in location can do wonders – and that has been the case for so many – in every walk of life.
No matter if it’s your job or association with a sports team, moving to a different location is often healthy.
While there are those who may be able to flourish for an extended period of time at one place, others feel refreshed and renewed by a change of location.
When you play football in south Florida, the opportunities are indeed endless.
Because of the teams and quality talent that you compete against, all that may be needed is one play or key performance to thrust you into the spotlight.
It has been said over and over again about south Florida, but certainly warrants repeating.
There is so much talent at every turn that getting lost in the shuffle is very common – and it happens all the time.
Whether you play in Miami-Dade or Broward County, the opportunities for exposure are endless, but that doesn’t always add up to receiving that exposure needed to attract college attention.
Recently on his visit to south Florida, a football analyst observed that south Florida has a number of overlooked athletes.
That statement is true, but there is a whole lot more to it than just saying how colleges tend to overlook prospects in Miami-Dade and Broward County.
First of all, there are more major college prospects in this region of the country than any other area nationally – and while Miami-Dade, Broward & Palm Beach Counties had 115 athletes on payrolls on NFL teams this past year, it illustrates how tough it is to see each and every prospect.
For those who follow this talented group of athletes, they are fully aware of the athletes we have and continue to produce. There are enough fan websites and recruiting writers to uncover a number of these “overlooked” prospects – and even though they continue to get the names out of these impressive athletes, the exposure comes slow.
When it comes to producing running backs in south Florida, each and every year, there are more and more top-flight prospects stepping up.
Through the years, the position has been one where college and universities from all over the nation head to this area in search of that difference maker who can be that impact performer.
While there are several talented runners in all classes, choosing just one as the best is never an easy thing to do. In Miami-Dade and Broward Counties alone, there are quality backs who continue to leave a mark on their teams, and in the process, grab the attention of colleges coaches.
