The Florida board, the games of September 4

Recruit Intel scored every recorded box score in its database for the window that opens with the games of August 30, and ranked the field by RPM, our Recruit Performance Metric. Florida's share of that window is 2,659 scored performances across 304 schools, out of 42,053 scored nationally in the same run, computed fresh on September 10. What follows is the 10 highest of those Florida scores. Every stat line below comes from our canonical database, drawn from recorded box scores, and every player named is verified by record identifier against a 2026 stat row at the school he is credited to.

The 10 highest scores

RPM is a percentile score computed within a position family, quarterbacks against quarterbacks and defenders against defenders, across the full national pool scored in this window. A score near 100 means the performance sat at the very top of its family nationally. The 10 below are tightly bunched, 0.39 of a point from first to tenth, so the order reflects small differences, and all 10 carry the same grade of A+. By class they break 5 from the class of 2027 and 5 from the class of 2028. Where the opponent sits on our live team rankings, that rank is printed beside its name, taken from the September 9 ranking run. 8 of the 10 opponents below are ranked in a state where our rankings are live. The rest carry no rank here, either because their state is not in the live set or because their team does not yet have enough rated games to be placed.

This is not a full ranking of every performance in the state. It is the 10 highest that clear our own verification filters, which set aside 4 other Florida performances inside this same scoring range. How we counted, below, says exactly what those filters are and what they held back.

How we counted

The window here is the scoring run computed on September 10 that opens with the games of August 30. Every Florida line that made this board came from the games of September 4. Each rests on a sample of one game, and that sample is stated on purpose, because one strong night is one strong night and not a season. The final score beside each line is that game's own result in our database, and an opponent rank, where one is printed, is that opponent's position on our September 9 state ranking run.

Two filters set aside 4 Florida performances that scored inside this range. Two of them sit on player records our database does not flag as recruitable, which is also what catches the shadow duplicate records our stats loader creates when the same player is written twice. The other 2 come from box scores that do not reconcile against their own team totals: St. Thomas Aquinas on September 4 carries 128 team tackles with 2 separate players recorded at exactly 30, and South Fort Myers on September 3 carries 164 team tackles across 18 defenders with almost every one of them credited as assisted. Both are logged for a box score recheck and neither line is printed here.

Every number here comes from the Recruit Intel canonical database. Each player was matched by record identifier to a 2026 stat row at the school named, with class year checked, so the player credited with each line is the player who produced it. Common names were resolved to a single record before anything was published, and where two records exist for the same player at the same school, only the one our database treats as canonical was scored.
