When it comes to a battle of East Coast giants, there are none bigger than when IMG Academy (Florida) catches a flight up to Baltimore to take on rival St. Frances Academy (Maryland).

Whenever these two teams meet, it means that plenty of future college football players will be on the field.

• TEAM RANKINGS: Maryland's Top 25
• TEAM RANKINGS: Florida's Top 25

By our unofficial count, there are at least 64 players who have either earned at least 3-star recruiting rankings by 247Sports, or received a Division I offer. 

Players who have not yet received recruiting rankings — mostly because of their freshmen or sophomore status — but have offers are awarded one point under this system).
