Crawfordville (Fla.) Wakulla Top247 quarterback Feleipe Franks, a Florida commit, helped his team advance to the Florida High School Athletic Associations 5A State Finals on Friday. Wakulla defeated Green Cove Springs (Fla.) Clay 34-24 to earn a trip to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando next week.

“Last time I went to state, I was in the eighth grade watching my brother,” Franks said. “It feels great. Been working for four years, and finally got the chance to be at state in Orlando. It’s what the boys have been working for all offseason and throughout the season. It really feels good, and we’re going to work hard like we did every other week, and take advantage of this Friday.”

Franks completed 9 of 12 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns. His scoring strikes went for 15, 46, and 52 yards, which was the final dagger in the game. â€¨

“That felt good,” Franks said of his perfectly placed 52 yard bomb. “It really got our momentum going, I’ll put it that way. It got the momentum going for our offense and got our defense pumped up. Our defense had some good stops and kept us off our feet.”

Franks and his Wakulla teammates will take on Orlando (Fla.) Bishop Moore next Friday at 1:00 p.m. ET. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound quarterback will then take his official visit to the University of Florida the following day.

The 247Sports Composite, an industry generated average, currently ranks Franks as the nation’s No. 45 overall prospect and the No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the 2016 class.
