When you mention defensive secondary and south Florida in the same sentence, there’s a good chance that you are talking about elite prospects, who not only make a name at the high school and college level and beyond.

Every year, a defensive back from Miami-Dade or Broward Counties somewhere in college or the NFL – and that’s why college coaches make this area a priority when talking about elite talent.

As we continue to do throughout the off season – to better help college coaches and the athletes – we are listing football players from these two counties by class and position to ensure that the thousands of college coaches and scouts who read through our database will see up-to-date information on where the prospects are at.

Because there have been many changes, keeping up with them is not always easy – and while a majority will let us know about the school transfer, it at least gives them a chance to be found – especially during the pandemic.

Today, we complete the 2023 class with a look at the impressive and talented defensive backs.

Among the elite prospects for this gifted class include Adonis Allen (Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons - CB/S), Cooper Aurilia (Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian Academy - CB), rising star Dwight Bootle II (Miami Killian - CB), Damari Brown (Plantation American Heritage - CB), Darriel Cannon (Miami Gulliver Prep - S), and two nationally rated prospects in Stanquan Clark (Miami Killian - S) and Daemon Fagan (Plantation American Heritage – S), who have helped to bring the high level interest to south Florida.

The class also features Ahmere Foster (Miami Christopher Columbus - S), Mark-Allen Gay Jr. (Miami Killian - S), Corey Goldsby Jr. (Plantation American Heritage - S), Daniel Harris, Miami Gulliver Prep (CB/S), speedy Conrad Hussey (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas - S), versatile Jordan Jean (Davie Western - CB) and standout athlete Jerry Johnson III (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas – CB), who’s father was a standout at Hollywood Hills and Youngstown State back in the day.

Also, Christian Lowry (Miami Central - S), rising star King Mack (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas - S), Trevaughn Martinez (Fort Lauderdale Dillard (CB), Jaden Outar (Miami Gulliver Prep - CB), talented D’Angelo Ponds (Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna – CB), athletic) Willie Reed III (Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons) and perhaps one of the best athletes in this class – playing on both sides of the ball – as well as being a baseball standout - Antonio Robinson (Miami Florida Christian - CB), Kimari Robinson (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas - CB) and one of Miami Central’s many elite defensive backs in cornerback Antwon Shepard.

The Class of 2023 also shows depth with way under-the-radar Antonio Smith (Miami Gulliver Prep - CB), Zayden Laing-Taylor (Miami Central – S), soon-to-be three year starter Zavier Williams (Miami Coral Reef – S) and cornerback) Marcus Woodley (Homestead South Dade).
