Hey, it's my junior year and I'm starting to think about colleges. I'm not good enough for the NFL, but I'm a huge fan. I'd love to go to a U.S. college known for sending a lot of players to the NFL. Just something cool to think about while deciding on where to apply. Any help appreciated!
Sure, that's an interesting way to think about your college decision! While there are many schools with strong football programs, you specifically asked about some schools with a significant presence in the NFL.
The University of Alabama and Ohio State University are two well-known schools that have a strong history of players heading to the NFL. Particularly in the 2023 draft, Alabama led the way with 10 players selected. The Crimson Tide's success in the draft continued a long trend of strong showings.
Tied with Alabama, the University of Georgia had 10 players drafted in 2023. Additionally, the University of Michigan had 9, while Texas Christian University had 8 players drafted.
Remember, a strong football program can certainly add to the college experience, especially if you're a fan, but make sure to consider other factors as well, such as academics, cost, location, and campus culture. I hope this information helps and good luck with your college search!
