Florida has had good run of unheralded recruits turning into star players

Recruiting “season” is upon us, and with that a reminder to fans that not every four- and five-star prospect will pan out and that some lower-rated guys will turn into studs.

Recruiting very much can be a crapshoot, and projecting 17- and 18-year-old athletes is not an easy task.

Here’s a look at an unheralded prospect in each Florida recruiting class from 2010-16 who has turned into a high-level player.

2010: ATH Trey Burton, Venice (Fla.) High

The skinny: Burton was a quarterback in high school but did not project to that position in college.
