JACKSONVILLE, FL. - In contrast to the 2018 season “Players on the Horizon” list, the Amateur to Professional Developmental Football League (APDFL) has opted to arrange the listing according to teams starting in 2019 as the first, second and third teams were announced on Monday. Mississippi Dynasty led the way with eleven representatives, while Gulf Coast Gators and Tuskegee Ayrmen had ten selections each. The Alabama Blackhawks had eight while the Crescent City Kings followed with six representatives.
The 2019 list includes several athletes who made appearances on both the 2018 Players on the Horizon list as well as the Top 50 selection. New teams to APDFL, East Alabama Predators and Chilton Tigers, made a strong presence with each having four selections.
