While we will continue to spotlight and promote Miami-Dade and Broward high school football prospects throughout the course of a year – like we have for 52 years – during the state playoffs we have brought you talented players who have made a difference all year.
With Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, Homestead, Miami Central, Plantation American Heritage and Miami Christopher Columbus all being among the final 10 teams to play this weekend, we will give you one player on each team that has continued to impact their respective program.
2023 – Jayvant Brown, LB, 6-1, 225, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas. This Michigan State commitment has had quite the career, starting as a running back at University School and then on to Deerfield Beach before moving over to play for the Raiders. Has turned into an elite football player for the head coach Roger Harriott and his team as they get ready for the 3M state title on Thursday night (7:00) against Homestead at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

2023 – Richard Dandridge, WR, 5-10, 175, Homestead. This Temple University commit is one of the players who may not get the publicity that some of the other receivers get, but this is a very productive talent who has given the Broncos and head coach Philip Simpson an opportunity to advance to their first ever state title game – on Thursday night against Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas at DRV PNK Stadium. Dandridge will definitely be a player that the Raiders will need to keep an eye on.

2023 – Daemon Fagan, SS, 6-3, 180, Plantation American Heritage. Headed to North Carolina State next season, if you have followed his career you already know what an impact he has made for head coach Mike Smith and the Patriots, who have a chance to play against unbeaten and No. 1 Miami Central. What Fagan represents is a true football talent that makes a difference.

2024 – Lawayne McCoy, WR, 6-1, 170, Miami Central. After losing Joshisa Trader made his move from Miami Central to Chaminade-Madonna, first year head coach Jube Joseph and his Rockets were searching for another weapon to go along what they already had, received a huge prospect and playmaker in McCoy who has emerged into one of the top underclassmen. An outstanding football player who has truly sparked a very talented football team that will be looking for their fourth straight state title on Friday night (7:00) at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale against 13-1 Plantation American Heritage.

2024 – Daylen Russell, DE, 6-3, 255, Miami Christopher Columbus. On a team stacked with talent, here is a junior who has been huge for the 13-1 Explorers who head into Saturday night’s 4M state championship game against Apopka at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. His improvement in every game is something that head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers have needed during the season. He has helped to lift a defense that is easily one of the best in south Florida. Keep your eye on this young man because he is very special.
