Palm Beach County Player Rankings: Class of 2026 – First Edition

PALM BEACH COUNTY – For the second time, a collaboration with two organizations has taken place when assembling a player rankings list.

Both East Coast Exposure and Muck City Media have spent a lot of time watching Hudl film, looked over and double-checked statistics throughout the regular season, and heeded to advice from at least one highly credible outside source. 

DISCLAIMER: We will never reveal any of our sources who lead, guide, and direct us with our player rankings or anything else in relation to any content we release to the public. This is a standard journalistic practice that must always be strictly followed for confidentiality and credibility purposes.

With these player rankings below, you will see for yourself exactly how we at both East Coast Exposure and Muck City Media will attempt to give them the love and recognition they rightfully deserve. Also with these player rankings, you will see where their respective college recruiting statuses stand at currently.

So with that being said, here is our first-ever Class of 2026 player rankings (1-25) and Next 25 list for Palm Beach County.
