Each player’s high school is the one his college’s roster on stats.ncaa.org prints (via SportsDataverse), else his 247Sports recruiting profile gives. Rosters give no school’s address, so the town named is where most of its players come from. Colleges and years from CollegeFootballData.com’s rosters and season lines; draft picks and honors as each player’s page shows them. Players who may be under 18, and recruits who haven’t played a college season, are left out. Every school in North Carolina · Find a high school
