Rickey Jackson of Pahokee is Palm Beach County's only member of the NFL HOF

Who do we have left?  One is a lineman and the other is arguably the greatest defensive player to ever come out of south FL.  Neither went to high schools known for football.

Derrick Thomas not sure of school

It is Derrick Thomas, and he played for South Miami High.  He is the only Dade County Hall of Famer.

One to go, folks.  He is arguably the best lineman to ever come out of south FL.  He played HS football in Broward County and went on to become an All-American at Michigan.

Here are the answers below.  I find it interesting that as much as we talk about the traditional Miami-Dade powerhouses, none of them has produced an NFL Hall of Famer. 

Palm Beach County-Rickey Jackson/Pahokee

Broward County -Michael Irvin/St Thomas Aquinas, Steve Hutchinson/Coral Springs, Isaac Bruce/Dillard

Miami-Dade County-Derrick Thomas/South Miami

Very hard to believe Dada has only one hall of famer.

      Wow and that’s the website the FHSAA uses for its rankings? What a crap show. Good luck finding the real schedules. The FHSAA doesn’t do anything to help.    Georgia puts their on their website for all to see. A simple link that has every team and every schedule. One stop shop.    The SSAA isn’t any better. I was trying to update scores from last year and they don’t even have the results from last year. Maxpreps and Scorestream aren’t even reliable either. Crazy that in 2024-25, you can find reputable sites for simple information like high school football schedules and scores

      Made a second pass through Maxpreps for all 576 (11-man teams). Yes, it takes a while.  Here's what I've come up with through this morning: 265 Schedules are complete (assumes 10 game regular season beginning either Week 0 for SSAA or Week 1 for everyone else, unless out of state opponent. 311 Schedules have problems. Here's the breakdown: 218 schedules reflect less than 10 games 88 schedules are impacted by conflicts. ie. Team having more than one opponent on the same day- or- scheduled opponent has more than one opponent on that day. 5 teams have 11 games scheduled. Seems like there's a lot of information to be gathered and rectified over the next few weeks.
