This year, Florida and Texas are the best represented, with 10 players each hailing from those two states alone, according to a list compiled by highschoolfootballamerica.com. Nine players went to Georgia high schools, eight came from Michigan high schools, and seven came from California.

Mahomes attended Whitehouse in Texas, McCaffery attended Valor Christian in Colorado, and Kelce went to Cleveland Heights in Ohio. And if you were wondering, Swift attended a public high school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, for two years, and later transferred to Aaron Academy, a private Christian school that offers home-schooling and better accommodated her touring schedule.
