no way.  He said per capita.  Most likely will be smaller states

[badbird]

Lousiana, Georgia, and Mississippi

 

I was also thinking a Northern state for OL like Ohio

The answers...

#1 Hawaii  

#2 Alabama

#3 Louisiana

Hawaii is a tiny state, yet has produced 6 consensus all-americans of late.  The entire state has a population the size of Hillsborough County.  So, for this many consensus all-americans to be produced in 6 years from such a small population is pretty amazing.   

2018 QB Tua Tagovailoa/Alabama 

2017 DE Hercules Mata'afa/Washington St/Minnesota Vikings

2015 K Ka'imi Fairbairn/UCLA/Houston Texans

2014 LB Hau'oli Kikaha/Washington/NO Saints

2014 QB Marcus Mariota/Oregon/TN Titans

2013 LB Manti Teo/Notre Dame/NO Saints

 

Tua's brother Taulia was one of the top-rated hs qb prospects in the country last year and appears to be following in his brother's footsteps at Alabama.

Didn't even think of Hawaii but you are right. They are some tough dudes that can play football, and surf...
