California High School Leads the Way with Three 2011 NFL Draftees

by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America

Colton High School isn't known as a football factory, but maybe it will be from now on.

The town of 50,000 about an hour outside of Los Angeles had three players selected in the 2011 NFL, according to USA Football. Former Yellow Jackets drafted in April were Colorado cornerback Jimmy Smith was taken in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens; USC running back Allen Bradford went to Tampa Bay in the sixth round; and USC safety Shareece Wright was selected in the third round by San Diego.

“Our staff is very proud” said Colton head coach Rick Bray. “It is great for the school, the city of Colton, and our program. We are happy for their chance to keep playing a sport that all three young men have played since childhood. This starts a new tradition for Colton football, one that others will try to carry on.”

In the past six years, only De La Salle (Concord, CA) and Long Beach Poly (California) in 2006, and St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) in 2010 have had three players selected in one NFL draft.

In all, 243 schools in 40 states, the District of Columbia and Canada were represented in the 2011 draft. Ten schools had at least two players selected.  Seven of those schools produced at least one first-round pick.

California was the leading state with 42 players selected. Florida was second with 36 and Texas was third with 29 players.

Here are the schools with multiple players drafted...

Colton (Colton, CA) - Allen Bradford (Tampa Bay), Jimmy Smith (Baltimore), Shareece Wright (San Diego)
Aliquippa (Aliquippa, PA) - Jonathan Baldwin (Kansas City), Tommie Campbell (Tennessee)
Blanche Ely (Pompano Beach, FL) - Patrick Peterson (Arizona), J.T. Thomas (Chicago
East Ridge (Clermont, FL) - Chimdi Checkwa (Oakland), Greg Lloyd (Philadelphia)
Fort Dorchester (Charleston, SC) - Byron Maxwell (Seattle), Robert Quinn (St. Louis)
Gwynn Park (Brandywine, MD) - Rashad Carmichael (Houston), Phil Taylor (Cleveland)
John Leonard (Greenacres, FL) - Kenrick Ellis (NY Jets), Markus White (Washington)
Kaiser (Fontana, CA) - Chris Carter (Pittsburgh), David Carter (Arizona)
Lakeland (Lakeland, FL) - Ahmad Black (Tampa Bay), Mike Pouncey (Miami)
Rancho Verde (Moreno Valley, CA) - D'Aundre Reed (Minnesota), Tyron Smith (Dallas)
St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - Marcus Gilbert (Pittsburgh), Leonard Handerson (Washington)

Next Wednesday in National Letter of Intent Signing Day for thousands of high school football players around America.

Westlake (Austin, TX) High School head coach Darren Allman is the head coach of Team USA.  Allman has an overall record of 57-19 in his six years as head coach at Westlake.

“This roster holds tremendously talented players, but its blueprint is centered on the assemblage of a true team, a national team,” said Allman. “Representing the United States in our country’s favorite sport is a high honor – our coaches and players understand this. We’ll be prepared to face a strong opponent on Feb. 2 and to celebrate football on an international scale.”

High School Football America

The World All-Stars proved that there's some pretty good high school football being played around the world in Saturday's USA vs. The World All-Star high school football game in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. However, when the final horn sounded it was the USA Team that owned the bragging rights with a 17-0 victory.

Team USA used touchdown drives at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second to beat the World Team, that was made-up of the best under 19-year old players from eight different countries.

Canon-McMillan (PA) linebacker Mike Hull was named the game's MVP with eight tackles and an interception. Click here to read more on the game from the USA Football website.

High School Football America

How big is tomorrow's Team USA vs. The World All-Star Football game in Fort Lauderdale, Florida? Big enough to be broadcast live by the NFL network!

The game matches USA Football's 2010 Junior National Team against 45 of the best players below the age of 19 from around the world. The Junior National Team is made-up of high school seniors, 35 of whom have made oral commitments to college programs.

ESPN Rise reports that The World Team also has some talent that's heading to college campuses around America.

Kudos from my side go out to Team USA quarterback Tyler Smith, who's from my alma mater Wilson High School. He's also the grandson of my broadcasting mentor Dick Hammer, who at 75 years young is still the voice of the Lafayette Leopards.

Tomorrow's game kicks-off at noon. For more info on the game go to the USA Football website.
