Friday, NJ.com revealed the new NJ.com Top 50, a list of N.J.'s top football recruits.
Although the list encompasses the state's most highly-recruited prospects, grades 9 through 12, it is not solely a list of the state's top players, as that distinction is better reflected in our all-state and all-group teams, released in December of each year.
The NJ.com Top 50 rankings take into consideration collegiate potential as reflected in FBS (formerly known as Division 1A) scholarship offers, the number and caliber of interested schools and potential at the highest level of competition.
