Rosters could change some by game time but since I saw an article on highschoolfootballamerica.com I decided to go ahead and post this. Guess which state has the most players on the Super Bowl rosters? Florida. The number is 14. Two of those are from IMG. One is from the state of Georgia and the other from California so you could say if you omit . . . Oh never mind.
The Eagles have 10 and the Chiefs have 4 on their rosters that played their high school careers in the state of Florida.
BREAKDOWN BY STATE
Florida 14
Texas 12
California 10
Georgia 7
Ohio, Virginia (6 each)
N Carolina 5
Indiana, Pennsylvania (4 each)
Mississippi, Wisconsin (3 each)
Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, S Carolina, Tennessee (2 each)
Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, N Dakota, S Dakota, Utah (1 each)
Australia has 1 (wonder what position he plays?)

Some observations:
*Only 3 went to college at a state school. All 3 went to Florida.
* Cocoa and IMG both have 2 participants.
* If the player transferred in college I listed the school he finished at first .
* I have wondered why Hollywood Brown was called Hollywood. Now we know.
* Except for Sydney Brown and the 2 IMG players all of the remaining players went to a school that was in the same town or very close to where they were born.
* I’m sure you did a double maybe triple take at Sydney Brown’s info. Here is a link with his story. It is worth checking out.
