Learning from Ex-NFL Stars, Earl Little, Jr, of American Heritage is an Elite Cornerback Prospect

September 4, 2021
Earl Little Jr. carries his father's NFL legacy into his role as a top 2022 cornerback prospect at American Heritage.

When your father played 10 seasons in the NFL, the game comes naturally. Earl Little Jr. grew up watching film of his dad Earl Little Sr., who played defensive back for the Saints and Browns, absorbing lessons that shaped him into one of the premier cornerbacks in the 2022 class.

At American Heritage Plantation, a Florida powerhouse with five state titles since 2013, Little has developed into a ball-hawking defensive back with offers from Alabama, Florida, and LSU. His combination of technique, instincts, and pedigree makes him a program-changing recruit.
