PALM BEACH COUNTY – In the seventh iteration of Palm Beach County’s player rankings for the Class of 2026, we have made a plethora of adjustments.
We have two all-new Top 10 entries and plenty of movement throughout this list as we expanded from 50 to 60 players. We also have a Next 30 list, which means that a total of 90 players were at least considered for the Top 60.
With that said, we considered only two factors this time out:
•Performances from Week 1 to Week 6
•Film study and evaluation of players
As always, we place on-field production above all else. In addition, we have spent a lot of time watching Hudl film, looked over and double-checked statistics from the first half of 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.
