Florida, especially the Central Florida Area, has always been a hotbed of high school football talent.

And Bright House Sports Network ranked the best of the best, the Central Florida 25.

On the field, they dominate their opponents with skill and size and speed. Off the field, what makes them tick?

BHSN goes inside the helmet with the best prep players in our nine-county coverage area (Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia).

Watch their videos to find out what motivates them and what it takes to be the best.

The BHSN Top 25 Football Players list was voted on by members of the Central Florida Area Bright House Sports Network staff that covers our nine-county region.
