Florida Is Number Three

Don't look now but the state that produced the most college football recruits per capita was Hawaii-not Florida or Texas or California.

According to the 2000 census, Hawaii has a population of 1,211,537, and out of that came 34 players. That breaks down to one Division I-A player for every 35,633 residents. Other states, including heavyweights Texas (389 players), Florida (325) and California (320) produce more players, but they have a much greater population base. California didn't even make the top 15 states, finishing out of the money at 17th. Florida was number three in this ranking.
