Key Players – Class of 2026: Treasure Coast

TREASURE COAST – As many may know by now or not, the Treasure Coast is a very closely knit area that looks out for each other in every single way, shape, and form.

We will endeavor to thoroughly highlight all 14 of the Treasure Coast’s high school football teams from this point forward. As we turn to 2025, the focus will be primarily on our current junior class.

To keep this as succinct as possible, we have scores of key 2026 players that need attention now. We cannot wait until they are seniors, considering the fact that the rampant activity of the college football transfer portal forces us all to be proactive in the recruiting process.

PLEASE NOTE: This list is exclusively in alphabetical order. The first 2026 player rankings list will be released sometime soon.
