St Augustine has an impressive list of athletes. Leonard Fournette, Tyrann Mathieu, Chad Jones and Jacoby Jones to name a few

Trai Turner a product of st aug as well

Yeah Chad Jones went to SLab

Did Chad Jones transfer to Southern Lab from St Aug after Katrina? I may be thinking of someone else. I'm not sure.

Define "top level"
Newman has one NFL HOFer and next year Eli is on the ballot and most believe will be a slam dunk first year inductee.
If by "top level" you mean the literal top, that can't be beat in the state.
I am almost certain that pro baseball and basketball don't have two players in the HOF from the same school either

Good catch. Looks like he started at st Aug and finished at southern lab

I’m not sure that having brothers from one school qualifies it as producing too talent. While they may be two of the greatest qb’s ever, I think this question is more about breadth of talent. St. Aug has produced numerous professional level football players over a wide stretch of time.
Which highschool in LA has produced the most NFL talent?

Odell is from Newman too. Doubt he’s a HOF but he was absolutely elite for a few years.

St. Aug and it’s not even close. They have produced 34 NFL players. Second place is Ruston at 18 then John Curtis at 14.

The answer resides in the definition of TOP LEVEL.
It can't get any higher than the HOF so does OP mean TOP, really good pros, really good college, really good high school?

Define talent.
If we're just talking about players that landed in the NFL that would be St Aug I believe followed by Ruston.
But again, whats top level, whats talent, etc.?
The answer lies in the definition

NFL talent is guys that have had the talent to play in the NFL.

If they need to have played, not just be drafted or signed I would still think the answer is St Aug.
There really isn't a close second.

I agree with that statement about Newman. Also randy Livingston was the best basketball player to ever come out of LA

Morgan City for sure, but it’s just that the great athletes chose academics over sports.
