At a time when loyalty and starting what you finish are two phrases that are seldom used when it comes to high school sports, you have Darryl Bell III.

Committed to attend Florida State University two years ago as a sophomore, this 6-0, 195-pounder remains one of the best football players in the state of Florida and easily among the top in south Florida.

While top-flight programs annually play for district, regional and state championships, Bell has chosen to stand by Miami Lakes Barbara Goleman for a number of reasons.

While veteran head coach Ariel Cribeiro and his Gators are not among the best teams in Miami-Dade County, this program and the school does offer a quality education and values that Bell and his head coach, who also graduated from the school, have in common.

For Bell, it has been a matter of a true family feeling – where teammates, classmates, educators and administrators are all on the same page. He also realizes that it doesn’t make a difference where he goes, the colleges who have been after him will still be actively recruiting him.

As he embarks on his senior season, Bell and his team will look once again to advance to the state playoffs, where the Gators lost to Boca Raton in the first round in overtime, 27-21.

In addition to what he brings to the table as a prospect (https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17750834/672999db6b236b5c50a4cf3a), here is a look at some of the other rising seniors (2026):

When Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace lost to 1A power West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman 46-7 in the opening game of the 2024 season, there was a feeling that it would be a long season for the Spartans.

Here was a program that had always been productive under head coach Anthony Walker Sr., but with several key prospects graduating - or being picked off by other schools, everything pointed to a struggle to compete in a tough 2A classification.

After that setback to the Crusaders, this program took a step back and looked at this season ahead.

What the players and coaches saw was a schedule that was challenging, but one that this team could manage and gain a state playoff spot.

What happened over the next two months was things came together, and the Spartans would win seven of the next eight games, which included victories over Miami Carol City, Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian and Miami Gulliver Prep and Miami Ransom Everglades in the first round of the state playoffs.

Despite losing a tough 20-14 contest in the second round of the playoffs to Miami Immaculata LaSalle, the year ended 8-3, and it showed this team that no matter what adversity they may face, the coaching and talent would overcome it.

As they are now in the off-season, all eyes are in 2025 – with several prospects coming back for 2025.

Among those rising seniors (2026) include Solomon Campbell (DB, 5-11, 175 – 3.2 GPA), Ismael Carmona (DL, 5-10, 185 – 2.6 GPA), Steve Carvil, Jr. (OL, 6-0, 210 -  2.5 GPA), Cleveland Gary III (LB, 6-0 205 – 3.9 GPA), Dejuan Johnson (OT, 6-8, 305), Dorrian Michel ((OL/DL, 5-9, 300 – 3.0 GPA), Zachariah Nozile (DL/OLB, 5-9, 210 – 2.9 GPA), Antonio Owens Jr. (DB, 5-7, 140 – 3.3 GPA), Rashad Wallace Jr. (RB, 5-8, 175 – 3.7 GPA), and defensive back Jordan Wooden (5-9, 160 – 2.9 GPA).

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR THE SPARTANS

As this program will rely on a talented and experienced senior (2026) class in 2025, keep an eye on this rising junior (2027) class that has several key prospects to keep an eye on.

Among those players will be Kahrim Bassette (WR, 5-9, 150 – 2.7 GPA), Jeysus Cobas (OL, 6-0, 260 – 2.9 GPA), Calvin Etienne (OL, 6-2, 325), Jose Fernandez (OL, 5-7, 230 – 2.6 GPA), Jamaal Gibson (WR, 5-10, 175 – 2.8 GPA), Jayden Govender (DB/WR, 5-6, 140), Jayden Gummer (LB, 6-0, 200 – 3.86 GPA), Abdul Hopkins (DB/LB, 5-11, 170 – 3.2 GPA), Tyre’ Lloyd (DB, 6-3, 180 – 2.6 GPA), Haendel Montlouis (OL, 5-9, 210 – 3.5 GPA), Jayden Perera (TE/WR, 6-2, 180 – 3.8 GPA), Isaiah Thurston (RB, 5-6, 160 – 2.6 GPA), and linebacker Liam Vazquez (5-10, 180 – 3.2 GPA).

Even the rising sophomores (Class of 2028) figure to play a key role in getting back to the state playoffs.

Watch prospects such as Tyler Bryant (WR, 5-9, 150 – 2.7 GPA), Maurice Cherry (WR, 5-9, 160 – 3.0 GPA), Michael Diaz (OL, 6-2, 250 – 2.5 GPA), Amari Finnie (WR, 5-6, 140  - 3.4 GPA), Aden Francois (QB/WR, 5-9, 160), Calique Gary (DB/WR, 5-7, 160), ZaKhari Johnson (DE/OLB, 5-11, 160 – 3.1 GPA), Nathaniel  Merrell Jr. (QB, 6-3, 150 – 3.1 GPA), Ahziah Murphy (LB, 5-10, 165), Jaden Parker (OL, 6-3, 275), James Morgan (RB, 5-6, 140 – 3.6 GPA), and receiver Mykei Wade ( 5-9, 160 – 2.9 GPA).

The numbers are usually staggering, drawing interest from every corner of the country as well as colleges and universities from coast-to-coast.

The high school football transfers in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have long been recognized for the sheer numbers that take place every year.

With most of these students receiving an alternative form of education away from the physical schools, the flood gates are open to them competing in athletics anywhere they can attend practice and games.

While we attempt to keep track of ALL the transfers because of our extensive database that we have where college coaches are checking in daily, we have missed many who slid under the radar.

In looking over this transfer list, if you see anyone who isn’t there or perhaps at the wrong school, please drop us an E-Mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) so we can make the change. (DO NOT POST)!

We are NOT in this to give anyone their time in the spotlight. It’s all about getting it right so are young men can be looked at and recruited.

The schools in CAPS are the schools they attend now!

THANKS TO HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS, COACHES, SUPPORTERS AND PARENTS FOR SENDING US THESE. COLLEGE COACHES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EVERY CHANGE – AND THIS HELPS.
