Where does a top Florida kid go if he doesn't get into UF?

@PurpleTitan New College is an interesting one for sure but probably not a match for my son. First it is one third the size of his high school. I think he wants a bigger pond, plus he’s a big sports fan so he will want to go to a school with sports and intramurals. Last, he is more of a STEM kid vs. LAC. I appreciate the feedback.
