1. Florida
State nickname: The Sunshine State
Number of 5-stars: 5
Number of 4-stars: 43
Highest-ranked player: DE Shavar Manuel (No. 3 overall, No. 1 DE)
Number of committed top-25 in-state players: 17
The state of Florida is loaded with talented players. It's also loaded with players who didn't want to go through a long, drawn-out recruiting process. Of the top 25 players, only eight are uncommitted. Of those eight, however, three are ranked among the state's top 10.
Florida's top-ranked player is 5-star defensive end Shavar Manuel, and schools like Florida State, Miami, Alabama, LSU and Auburn are hoping to land him before February's signing day. Nick Bosa, another 5-star defensive end, is a highly touted prospect. It'll be tough for any school to outrecruit Ohio State, however, as the Buckeyes have his big brother, Joey Bosa, as a standout defensive end.
Florida State and LSU have been active in recruiting the state. The Seminoles have commitments from 5-star quarterback Malik Henry, 4-star tight end Isaac Nauta, 4-star defensive end Janarius Robinson and others. LSU has two pledges from the state, but those pledges—5-star cornerback Saivion Smith and 4-star quarterback Feleipe Franks—are the highest-ranked commits of LSU's 2016 class.
