Football season is upon us. This year’s roster of talented athletes will include a long list of notable IMG Academy alumni, both in college and in the National Football League. Most recently, two former student-athletes—Nolan Smith (Philadelphia Eagles) and DJ Turner (Cincinnati Bengals)—were selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Since 2016, NCSA College Recruiting has helped sign 173 student athletes to AP Top 25 schools and 101 active NFL athletes.
