Wake Plucks Top Players From Florida

Here's a stat that may be indicative of why Wake Forest is competitive. Wake Forest has 26 Florida natives on its 2008 roster,which is the most of any team in the BCS not based in the Sunshine State. Wake Forest has plucked some overlooked recruits out of the state of Florida that have proven to be the real deal. Consider two of their top players.

Wake's kicker, Sam Swank ,who is ranked number one in the ACC and its QB, Riley Skinner, who is ranked number one in the ACC are both from Jacksonville. Bobby Bowden has admitted that FSU in the last couple of years has not recruited as well in Jacksonville as they have in the past.
