Every year, we love seeing the local players that find themselves on college rosters. This season, we have found the following who now can be seen playing on Saturdays! We have identified 66 in total, including players from Stephens (14), Jefferson and Rabun (11 each), Habersham (8), Dawson (6), Commerce (5), Lumpkin and White (4 each), Banks (2), and Franklin and Union (1 each).

By year, the number of locals on college rosters has varied, and has declined slightly since 2021:
-2021: 86
-2022: 82
-2023: 75
-2024: 73
-2025: 66

NOTE: If we missed someone please email us and we’ll be sure to add them in. We cross-checked with each college roster. If that player is on the roster, they’re on the list.
