Where the players in the On3 2026 Football Prospect Watch List are from

Florida has led the way for much of the last two decades when it comes to producing some of the best high school football around the country. Texas has always been neck-and-neck, as has California. In recent years, states like Georgia and Alabama have joined the club — regularly playing host to dozens of blue-chip prospects in each recruiting cycle.

In the 2026 cycle, we see that trend continue. Twenty-five states are represented among the 100 prospects named on the On3 2026 Watch List. Florida again leads the way, with Georgia, Texas, California and Virginia not far behind.

With the release of the Watch List, here are the states where this group of talented athletes reside.
