Coral Gables Football Is Raising The Talent Bar

At a recent 5-on-5-line camp in Fort Lauderdale, several “big men” from all over did their thing in front of coaches and media members on hand.

With offensive and defensive linemen getting more of the spotlight these days with several exposure events, getting that well deserved publicity is only a play away – and that is something that Coral Gables High 2027 standout Stive-Bentley Keumajou Yondui has found out. The native of Cameroon, this 6’4, 290-pounder has been one of the off-season prospects that many have been watching, and for good reason.

He not only plays football, but basketball and soccer as well – showing he is not your average high school athlete.

A two-way (DT/OG) standout who has been getting plenty of attention from major colleges and universities across the country has been just what the Cavaliers and second year head coach Derick Murdock have been looking for as they build this once iconic program with talent and plenty of promise.

While prospects like Stive-Bentley Keumajou Yondui don’t just walk through the door every day, the Rise Preparatory Academy (3.4 GPA) student has given this program a huge life as the off-season is in full swing.

Coming off a 4-5 season, this program is out to build on the 2025 season – and they have a mix of veteran prospects with some young players getting the opportunity to showcase their talent.

Among the other players in this 2027 (rising senior class), Aiden Leon (QB), Zayd Muhammad (DE/OLB), Mylo-Elijah Tshinkola (DT) and receiver Donmondre Williams.

 

LARGE GROUP OF UNDERCLASSMEN WAITING TO CONTRIBUTE

As there is a nucleus of rising seniors for experience and leadership as well as exposure, the Cavaliers are stacked with plenty of younger prospects as well.

The rising juniors (2028) include Knox Austin (WR), Eden Brown (WR/CB), Dexter Cunningham (WR), David Jaramillo (LB) and defensive tackle Yadir Reyna.

If the future is going to be bright for this program, look at the rising sophomore class (2029) where Xavier Arellano (WR), Sirdarrell Bolton (OL/DL), Carlton Brown (CB), Jordan Byron (OL/DL), Gary Casimir (CB), Jayden Centeno (CB), Dhillon Cunningham (CB) and Iring Flood (DE) all have potential.

The class also has Prince Garcia (WR), Noah Hernandez (PK), Jayden Illescas (DL), Brandon Love (CB), Jayden Manuel (TE/DT), Daniel Martin (OL/DL), Johan Quincoces (DE), James Smith (WR/LB) and defensive back Emmanuel Sosa.
