When over 200 athletes headed to the University of Miami on Sunday for the annual Legends Camp, it was indeed one of the most successful events that they have had.

While several former Hurricane stars came out to support the future prospects of tomorrow and show the many on hand how special this program has been through the decades, it was time for head coach Mario Cristobal and his entire staff to roll out the red carpet for some of the top players from across the country.

When we gave you the defensive standout who headed to Coral Gables, you read about some of the best that Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have to offer for the 2027 (seniors) class and beyond.

As impressive as the defensive prospects were  throughout the day, it was also time for the offensive players to do their thing, and when the camp had ended, many left impressed with the talent on hand.

The Class of 2027 was certainly in the spotlight as the two counties battled some of the best from this state and around the nation. 

Among the local seniors included Esteban Laluz (RB, 5’7, 182, Miami Florida Christian), Jordan Greenfield (QB, 5’11, 190, Miami Beach), Khamarian Young (WR, 5’11, 166, Hollywood McArthur), Josh Sylvain (WR, 6’3, 186, Miami Carol City), Jordan Lubin (RB, 5’9, 196, Miami Felix Varela), Tristan Carr (WR, 5’7, 150, Miami Sunset), Darriel Cannon (RB, 5’6, 166, Miami Gulliver Prep), Savion Moss (WR, 5’7, 150, Miami Sunset), Keyondre McClover (WR, 6’1, 203, Coconut Creek), Lennon Maher (PK, 5’7, 150, Miami Palmer Trinity), Joshua Fertil (TE, 6’0, 221, Miami Sunset and Jamison Larsen (QB/TE, 6’3, 223, Miami Palmetto).

The Class of 2028 was also very much on display with some impressive talent. Among those were Ke’Shawn Paschall (RB, 5’7, 173, Coconut Creek Monarch), Darius Bogan (WR, 6’1, 172, Miami Southridge), Tromon Isaac (WR, 5’10, 181, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), Dedrick Melvin (RB, 5’8, 190, Homestead), Alex Machado (WR, 5’6, 161, Miami Sunset), Ethan Fishbein (QB, 5’11, 166, Pembroke Pines Charter), David Ortuno (WR, 5’8, 150, Miami Sunset), Dillan Ebanks (WR, 5’6, 140, Weston Cypress Bay), Brayan Padron (WR, 5’7, 160, Miami Sunset), Cayden Delions (RB/Athlete, 5’10, 180, Coconut Creek), William Bryant (QB, 5’10, 185, Miami Coral Reef), Peter Pierre (TE, 6’4, 215, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), Alexander Ortega (WR, 6’3, 170, Miami Coral Reef), Jacob Rubin (OL, 6’0, 225, Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy) and Laulelei Sualevai (OL, 6’5, 288, Miami Christopher Columbus).

As impressive as the seniors and juniors were at the camp, there was a large group of 2029 sophomores that set the table for the future as well.

The coaches were bowled over with players such as Angelo Mora-Echeverry (RB, 5’8, 185, Miami Belen Jesuit), Matthew Edwards (WR, 5’4, 130, Miami Carol City), Kevin Carter (WR, 6’2, 180, Fort Lauderdale Dillard), Alfonso Llanes (QB, 5’10, 180, Miami Ransom Everglades), Evans Branch (WR, 6’3, 197, Miami Ransom Everglades), Hudson Camp (QB, 6’1, 190, Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy), Christopher Wilkinson (WR, 5’7, 160, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), Jerimiah Kasen (WR, 5’7, 135, Miami Killian), Yudah Poke (WR, 5’10, 185, Miami Killian), Jeremiah Lee (QB, 6’1, 190, Miami Killian), Edward Kay (WR, 6’1, 170, Coconut Creek North Broward Prep), Jayden McFarlane (WR, 5’8, 135, Miami Coral Reef), Nathan Velasquez-Hevia (OL, 5’7, 190, Miami Sunset), Ethan Jones (WR, 6’2, 200, Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy), Rashard Williams (OL, 6’3, 280, Miami Carol City) and Mason Maduro (OL, 5’11, 304, Miami Gulliver Prep).

Miami-Dade, Broward Defensive Prospects Standout At UM’s Legends Camp. https://larryblustein.com/news/miami-dade-broward-defensive-prospects-standout-at-um-s-legends-camp

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!

Tournament of Champions, Inc. (TOC), one of South Florida’s longest-standing youth development organizations, proudly announces the 17th Annual South Florida Sports Summit, taking place July 17–19, 2026, at the world-renowned PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Following a successful 16-year run at the Naples Ritz-Carlton Resort , the Summit now begins a new chapter in Palm Beach County through its partnership with PGA National Resort, one of the region’s premier luxury destinations for sports, leadership, and corporate tourism.

The resort’s ownership by business icon Sheila Johnson, co-founder of BET and one of America’s most accomplished entrepreneurs, provides a powerful example of leadership, vision, and excellence—core values that reflect the mission of Tournament of Champions, Inc. throughout its 33-year history in South Florida.

A Premier Family Leadership Experience:

The South Florida Sports Summit will host 25 of South Florida’s most elite high school student-athletes, along with their parents, for an exclusive, weekend focused on education, leadership development, character building, and family engagement.

Unlike traditional athletic camps, this is a structured leadership and development symposium where parents and athletes participate together in workshops, discussions, and real-world learning experiences designed to prepare young people for success far beyond athletics.

Educational Symposium Topics Include:

• Academic Excellence & College Preparation
• NIL Education & Financial Literacy
• Leadership Development & Personal Responsibility
• Character, Integrity & Decision-Making
• Mental Health, Wellness & Stress Management
• Time Management & Discipline
• Social Media, Branding & Digital Responsibility
• Law Enforcement Awareness & Community Relations
• Sports Medicine, Injury Prevention & Nutrition
• Recruiting Realities & College Transition Process
• Public Speaking, Interview Skills & Communication
• Career Pathways Beyond Athletics
• Parent Engagement & Family Support Systems
• Community Service & Humanitarian Leadership

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.”
