PALM BEACH COUNTY – In the third iteration of Palm Beach County’s player rankings for the Class of 2027, some more adjustments were made.
We have two new Top 10 entries. One of them is a Top 10 debut, while the other one is a Top 10 return. And from the 11-30 spots, we have three all-new entries, which you will see below.
PLEASE NOTE: Quarterback Champ Smith (No. 10 in the previous rankings) has transferred from Spanish River to Cocoa. Also, athlete Dallas Crescenzo (No. 18 in the previous rankings) has moved on from Santaluces to Bastrop (Tx.) – per his X page – while athlete Izayah Harris (No. 25 in the previous rankings) has transferred from Dr. Joaquin Garcia to NSU University School.
This means we have eight total new entries, expanding the list from 30 to 35 players. We also have a Close to 35 list, which consists of 15 additional players that we strongly considered for the Top 35.
The focus was on at least four things:
•Spring game performance
•Summer camp and/or 7-on-7 performances
•Film study and evaluation of players
•Offer count and quality of offers
PLEASE NOTE: We will always place on-field production above all else. But now that college coaches are looking for players to commit to their schools as early as possible, we will place more of an emphasis on that as well.
With that said, we have spent a lot of time watching Hudl film, looked over and double-checked statistics throughout the ranked players’ junior seasons and for their spring games, pored over the quality and quantity of college scholarship offers they received, 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.
