A look at the top players featured in this Top 5 showdown.

No game this season will feature more players with FBS offers than IMG Academy vs. St. Frances Academy.

There are 47 players with at least one FBS offer and 27 are already committed to a Power 5 school. This game has been one of the most anticipated for years, especially with previous attempts in years past canceled because of bad weather. The Ascenders and Panthers have only met once before and that came in 2016 when IMG cruised to a dominant 38-0 win behind a strong performance from Kellen Mond on offense and Grant Delpit no defense.

Expect this one to be a lot closer.

St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) has won 29 of its last 30 games and the only loss came against No. 1 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) earlier this season. They are 6-1 and in those six wins they have outscored the opposition 294-20.

IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) is 7-0 and bring in an 11-game winning streak. They already own two wins over Top 25 opponents but this would be the biggest win of the season if they can knock off the Panthers.

Here is a complete list of all the players who are ranked in 247sports composite as of October 16, 2019.
