MaxPreps Top 100 Under the Radar high school football players

By Staff Report Jan 16, 2019, 12:00am

Heading to National Signing Day, we present 100 of the most overlooked and under-recruited football players of 2019.

What do these NFL standouts all have in common: Aaron Rodgers, Antonio Brown, Carson Wentz, Adam Thielen, Chris Hogan and Cooper Kupp?

All were afterthoughts following their senior seasons in high school. All lacked recruiting stars or offers.

With National Signing Day exactly three weeks away, we present our MaxPreps Top 100 Under the Radar list for 2019 graduates.

Note that of Tuesday, 56 of the 100 selected are completely unrated by 247Sports and 50 don't possess a single offer at any level. Only players whose data was submitted to MaxPreps were considered for the list. Players with offers from a Power Five conference school were not considered for inclusion.

On-the-field production, performance and promise were the most important criteria to make the Top 100. Good grades and character were also pluses.



Check back here in future years to see if 2019 selections were discovered and delivered in the fashion of Rodgers, Brown and the bunch.
