When it comes to transferring schools – for athletics – it would be tough to match the numbers that Miami-Dade and Broward counties annually put up.

With nearly 100 already changing schools from the first of the year until now, it may be a sampling size of what the final numbers will be when the season kicks off in the last two weeks in August.

No matter what class it may be, student/athletes are departing one school to attend another, and while there is always going to be friction between coaches and fan bases, the beat goes on.

While the busy time for many comes after spring – when the prospects have had the chance to see what a program is all about and what direction they are headed – there are some marquee football players who have already switched programs.

One of the groups that has been stealing the thunder is the rising sophomores in the Class of 2027

Already several marquee prospects have already made their move – led by major talent such as Jayden Dean (OL, Miami Norland to FORT LAUDERDALE ST. THOMAS AQUINAS) and quarterback Zac Katz (Miami True North Classical Academy to HOLLYWOOD CHAMINADE-MADONNA). Both are elite performers who have already made an impact at the varsity level and will be catalysts this coming season.

Jaeden Phillips (QB, Coconut Creek Monarch to PEMBROKE PINES SOMERSET ACADEMY), Cole Rodriguez (P/K, Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace FORT LAUDERDALE CARDINAL GIBBONS), Champ Smith (QB, Jupiter Christian to MIAMI CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS), and Sean Thompson (WR/OLB, Hollywood South Boward to MIAMI CENTRAL) are also in line to immediately make an impact with their new schools.

SOPHOMORE TALENT IS TRULY ADVANCED

Back in the day, the thought of a sophomore seeing extensive playing time at the varsity level was absurd – at best – especially in this area of the country, but times have really changed, and underclassmen are playing a key role for some of the best teams in the country.

Some of the other 2027 prospects include Tyler Chance, (QB, Fort Lauderdale Dillard to PLANTATION), Amari Cherenfant (OL, Miami Northwestern to MIAMI NORLAND), Chris Cortinas (WR, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons to COCONUT CREEK MONARCH), Jaeden Jackson (S, Miami St. Brendan to MIAMI NORTHWESTERN), Daylen Morgan (OL, Goulds Palm Glades to MIAMI IMMACULATA LASALLE), and running back Kemmai Morris (Miami Northwestern to HIALEAH MIAMI LAKES).

In addition, there are Aiden Prywitowski (QB, Coconut Creek North Broward Prep to FORT LAUDERDALE PINE CREST), Jaylen Thanis (DT, Miami Booker T. Washington to MIAMI NORTHWESTERN), Pierre Thomas (LB, 5-10, 175, Goulds Palm Glades to MIAMI SOUTHRIDGE), Bryce Williams (DB/Athlete, Pembroke Pines Somerset to DAVIE WESTERN), and Amir Wright, WR/RB, Goulds Palm Glades to HOMESTEAD SOUTH DADE).
