FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – Nearly 700 first-class football recruits gathered en masse at St. Thomas Aquinas High School to measure their game in Combine Rivals Series 2024 stop in South Florida.

After the event, some participants were invited to present their overall skills at Sunday’s conference. Rivals Camp stop in the Miami area.
