Quiz - NE Florida's Best RB's Ever

OK, Derrick Henry (Yulee and Alabama) is a given.  But which two would round out the top three?

Both of the them were high school all-americans.  One played for a high school not known traditionally for having a powerhouse program.  He had a great career as a Gator and played a few years in the NFL.  The other helped his hs team make some deep playoff runs and later became an NCAA all-american at an ACC school.  He has had a long career in the NFL.  

Who are they and for what schools did they play?

Yes!  video of CJ Spiller below.   Good job Smashmouth! 

I also considered Maurice Wells from Sandalwood.  Is there anyone else in the league of these guys from NE FL?

 

 

We played against CJ Spiller and Union County in regular season games and in the playoffs. CJ was 90% of the offensive production for the team. If there ever was a RB who was unstoppable it was CJ. Awesome to watch that young man make defenses cry. He came from a good solid family and also did well in the classroom both at Union and at Clemson. A fine gentleman and a credit to Lake Butler.

    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .  
    • So, after one very brief reading, it appears that the policy will be as follows:   kids, you can cut an NIL deal, but it can't have anything to do with the school you're at or any school that wants you to come there or anyone associated with any of those schools (i.e., boosters).
