The Herald-Tribune recently unveiled The Big 15 list of the Sarasota-Manatee counties' top college football recruits entering 2026 high school football season.
We ranked the players from No. 1 to No. 15 based on hard scholarship offers, the level of the schools making the offers, and those who possess the potential to receive attention from Power Four programs.
We selected Venice High wide receiver Tyree Mannings Jr. as our No. 1 college football recruit in the Sarasota-Manatee area. Do you agree?
Now is your chance to have your say. Vote in our poll today for the player you think we should have selected for No. 1 for 2026.
Poll closes at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 7, 2026.
Editor's Note: We reserve the right to disqualify a candidate or declare a vote
"no contest" if tampering such as bots or offering to pay for voting is evident. Please respect the integrity of the vote the way these athletes respect the integrity of the game.
