The Duval Sports team released their  first ever Top 50 Middle School Football players of 2016. These players were recognized by Duval Sports analysts Andre’ Ellis, Phillip Myers and Corey Davis, and validated by opposing coaches and  their own coaches as some of the best players in our area. Players on the list come from football teams that Duval Sports covered in Duval, Clay, and St. Johns counties during the 2016 season. DuvalSports.com did not cover private middle school football games from Duval county. Thus players from these teams were not considered. The list has some of the best players in the area, and Duval Sports acknowledges them for their high level of  athletic achievement on the middle school gridiron.
