State of Florida Recruiting H.Q. S4, E5: Boggs, Nix, Jurgensen
Cocoa WR Jayvan Boggs, IMG LB Gavin Nix and Bishop Moore QB Bjorn Jurgensen (Virginia) commit join the show; hosts Jon and Dan discuss recent commits.
Texas defensive line coach Kenny Baker came to Eau Gallie on the first day of spring football practice to see prized commit Brandon Brown.
Unfortunately for Baker, he had a wait a while. Brown missed most of that practice because he was busy winning the district shot put championship.
It’s the dual roles many football players find themselves in this time of year, juggling spring practice while also pursuing a medal in track.
Those players typically are limited participants in football practices to ensure they don’t get injured before the biggest track meets of the year.
The Florida High School Athletic Assocation’s Track & Field State Championships are Wednesday-Saturday at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.
Here’s a look at 25 of the top football recruits to watch at the state championships.
