Video: Class of 2022 Top 247 Shemar Stewart, Quinn Ewers lead the way.
Barton Simmons, the Director of Scouting for 247Sports, released the

The Sunshine State leads the way with 34 players featured and the Lone Star State checks in with the second most at 31. California is up next with 26 players on the list and Georgia has the fourth-most with 16.
Alabama, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin are the other states with at least five players in the Top 247.
IMG Academy (Brandenton, Fla.) has the most players featured from one school with nine. Just behind them is St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) with five. Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) each have four while St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.), Alemany (Mission Hills, Calif.) and American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.) all have three.
