CORAL GABLES - When it comes to making an impact at events, Miami-Dade and Broward Counties will take a backseat to nobody.

When the dust settled, Class of 2027, 2028, 2029 and even incoming freshmen in the Class of 2030 more than made an impact as current UM coaches and players led the drills and competition.
As head coach Mario Cristobal and his staff rolled out the red carpet for these future collegiate stars, they also provided a forum for these young men to do what they do best.
There will some elite prospects in every class – starting with 2027 – as Trezavant Boyd (DB, 5’9, 165, Miami Central), Cameron Goodwin (DB, 6’0, 173, Miami Carol City), Deandre Leonard (CB, 5’10, 160, Miami Gulliver Prep), Caleb Saint Fleur (Edge, 6’0, 243, Hollywood McArthur), Jayden Davis (LB, 5’8, 195, Miami Southridge) and Rubin Ceasar III (DE, 6’3, 217, Plantation American Heritage).
The Class of 2028 juniors were also impressive – Vishnu Rajkvmar (LB, 5’10, 191, Miami Norland), Brandon Valdes (LB, 5’9, 185, Miami Killian), Dylan Galadza (CB, 6’0, 170, Miami Archbishop Carroll), Jeremiah Martial (DB, 6’0, 185, Miami Killian), Dwight Thompson II (S, 6’0, 185, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), Warren Zaladin, LB, 5’10, 190, Miami Coral Reef), Luis Pacheco (CB, 5’7, 160, Miami Coral Reef), Jamari Thompson (CB, 5’8, 140, Coral Gables), Troy Randolph (DL, 5’9, 222, Miami Coral Reef), Jaylen Antrobus (DL, 5’10, 238, Miami Beach) and Antonio Wilcher (DL, 6’2, 298, Miami Southridge).
There were also Class of 2029 sophomores Makhi Robinson (CB, 5’8, 145, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), Vankino Bethea (CB, 6’0, 160, Miami Southridge), Benjamin Rodriguez (CB, 5’9, 150, Miami Ransom Everglades), Filip Leroux (LB, 5’8, 191, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), Mario Stallings (CB, 5’10, 178, Miami Palmetto), Robert White (CB, 5’10, 178, Miami Killian), Martell Shannon (DL, 6’4, 315, Miami Southridge) and Ben McFadden Jr. (DL, 6’4, 217, Miami Carol City).

One of the most popular radio shows of its kind is back on Monday night this week for two hours and looked at the University of Miami Legends Camp, summer football camps and much more on 104.3 FM – WQAM.
Each week, the FM 104.3 WQAM radio program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.
The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.
The program, which has run for nearly two decades and has been recognized nationally as one of the best of its kind, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on high sports and the newsmakers.
Here is a look at the way Monday night went:
For two decades, Miami Gulliver Prep head football coach Earl Sims has been teaching, coaching and developing talent in and out of the classroom. He talked about what the Raiders are doing this off-season to advance further in 2026.

Last week – as summer camps opened at colleges and universities across the country, FIU head football coach Willie Simmons and Sound Mind – Sound Body out of Michigan – hosted a camp that attracted nearly 800 prospects. At the center of the event was Dr. Kevin Perry and he joined the program to talk about what happened during the two days.

With college summer camps under way across the country, FAU and USF have hit the ground running with several events during the first week. Hard-working Brandyn Pokrass looked at what’s ahead in Boca Raton and Tampa the next few weeks.

When it comes to the NIL and steering student/athletes in the right direction, very few have what it takes to make sound decision. The Influencer Council has all bases covered to help athletes and their families and Dan LaForest, one of the company’s difference makers stopped by to let everyone know all about what to look for – and do.

Last year, Coach Brian McCartney and his Pembroke Pines West Broward Bobcats advanced to the 6A state football title game. While they came up short, they are working hard to get back and give it another try.

On Sunday at the University of Miami, the Legends Camp was held – as prospects from all over the country headed to Coral Gables to learn and gain exposure. Part of the day also featured the true “legends” of the program – the former players also returned to be recognized. One of those legends was first round NFL pick Kenny Phillips from Miami Carol City. He talked about the event and the program.

By now if you follow high school football in south Florida – especially in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties – you already know that talent emerges at every event held.
With spring behind us and the summer camps and workouts taking center stage, there are several football players who are being watched by colleges and universities at every turn.
As summer camps and 7-on-7 events provide the forum, the athletes in these two impressive counties are taking advantage and making the most of their opportunities.
With scholarships being offered to some of the Class of 2027 seniors, it’s the younger prospects who are out to get their name out there this off-season.
As you already know, we cover every player at every level, giving each one a spotlight that many recruiting outlets do not have the resources or manpower to accomplish. From games and practices to out-of-season exposure events, we are there live, watching and evaluating prospects who may not get the chance for this kind of attention.
Today, we bring you 20 prospects – with video link and grade information to check out.
Keep in mind that these football players you are watching are also being viewed by college coaches across the country who have followed what we have done for nearly six decades!

Evaluation & Development Process
Beyond education and leadership development, the South Florida Sports Summit serves as an important evaluation environment for athletes being considered for the prestigious Warren Henry Automotive Group High School Player of the Year Awards.
While athletic ability remains important, Tournament of Champions places equal emphasis on character, attitude, maturity, leadership, communication skills, and overall behavior throughout the weekend.
The Summit functions as a real-world leadership experience where student-athletes are observed in classroom sessions, group discussions, social settings, and community interactions. Every aspect of the weekend contributes to a deeper understanding of each participant’s overall persona.
This “on-the-job” leadership environment allows TOC staff and program leaders to evaluate how athletes conduct themselves beyond the playing field, including how they treat others, respond to instruction, handle responsibility, and represent their families and schools.
Elite Mentorship & Guest Participation:
The Summit will collegiate coaches, business executives, educators, law enforcement professionals, and community leaders. Their participation provides direct mentorship and real-life insight into success, discipline, and leadership at the highest levels.
Pathway to the Player of the Year Awards:
“This weekend is about developing complete young men and women,” said Wesley Frater, Founder and President of Tournament of Champions, Inc. “We are not only evaluating talent—we are shaping leaders. The Summit allows us to see who these young people truly are when the lights are on in real-life situations.”
