All-FBS Team 2022: See the Jacksonville area's top stars in college football season

More than a half-dozen national champions, a Biletnikoff Award finalist and a national leader in passing yardage.

Maybe, too, a pack of future NFL Draft selections.

They're all here, in the All-First Coast All-FBS team.

The Times-Union selects its 11th annual All-FBS team, recognizing the year's top performers from Jacksonville-area high schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision for the 2022 season.

This year's list includes some seven players, including starters Warren McClendon and Jack Podlesny, from the repeat national champion Georgia Bulldogs, who stormed through an unbeaten season.

But even aside from the Bulldogs, top achievers were many, including national passing yardage leader and St. Augustine native Austin Reed of Western Kentucky and Biletnikoff Award finalist Xavier Hutchinson of Iowa State. Hutchinson, who played high school football at Bartram Trail, set a slew of single-season and career Cyclones records.

Once again, the American Athletic Conference led the area in numbers, with 35 locals on rosters this season. The ACC moved up into second place with 29, followed by the SEC (26), Conference USA (23), Sun Belt (21) and Big Ten (20), which continues to expand its Jacksonville-area recruiting footprint. The overall number of local players on rosters decreased slightly compared to 2021, from 193 to 188.

Trinity Christian led all Jacksonville-area schools with 19 former players on FBS rosters during 2022. Sandalwood came in second with 16, then Bartram Trail (13), Bolles (nine), Lee/Riverside and Mandarin (eight each) and the Georgia pair of Camden County and Glynn Academy (seven each).
