And if that number were averaged out based on per capita the leader would be...

What I took from this is lol at New York. 19 players in a state with that kind of population?

I dont understand how two hockey states like NY and Minnesota .Have more football scholarships than Nebraska

I'm guessing you guys...but I have no frickin' idea.

Too many feruners.

Here's to Alaska, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire and Vermont for pitching a shut out.

I was being a smart ass, pretty much is always Louisiana when you boil it down to per capita.

Wyoming?

Vermont?

Edit: how are there none from all those states?

Frickin' New Mexico had as many as Nebraska and DC!

I'd have guessed Louisiana or Alabama. Not really huge populations in either one.

 

[Deep Creek]

Of our 330, 230 of 'em can't tackle!

Because they don't know what a football looks like much less how to be good at it?

Wyoming seems like a place that should be a good spot for football talent.

Kids must go pro at bull riding instead. Idk.

Vermont I understand.

Only football star I know from Wy is Alex Morran.

How the hell does that happen?


Has @OregonDucks noticed Oregon has produced more college football players than Nebraska

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

RUTGERS might be the single most underachieving program in all of football relative to local talent,

New Jersey produces the hell out of talent with only ONE FBS school in the entire state.
Plus, Two of its border states don't even have a big state football school in DE and NY to steal cross-border talent.

In CA, FL, and TX you have double digit FBS programs fighting for the same recruits, plus other states next door that have good programs like OK, GA, AL, LSU, ARK, OR, AZ.

Not bad

And if that number were averaged out based on per capita the leader would be...

I'm pretty sure Hawaii per capita is at the top or pretty close. Lots of Polyneasian players from there go on to play in college considering the population of the islands . I think American Samoa might even be better than that per capita. They had over 30 NFL players and a population of only 65,000. So basicly less people on the island than a game at the shoe and yet they have around 200 scholarship football players.
