Miami-Dade/Broward Linebackers Are Impressive

We all know that when it comes to receivers and defensive backs, Miami-Dade and Broward County may not have many rivals across the state. But if you look at the group of linebackers in Classes 2023-2026, you will notice that there are some amazing prospects.

It has been a tremendous off-season for all Florida players, who grabbed the spotlight, and the linebackers have had that opportunity to do their thing at various events.

Impressive talent that colleges and universities across the nation have been watch closely. Standouts such as Deerfield Beach transfer Jayvant Brown (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), gifted Stanquan Clark, who made an impact the past two years at Miami Killian, fast-rising Navy commit Justin Coles (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas) and North Miami transfer Dieutrich Exantus (Miami Central).

In addition to those big-time players, there is also Gabe Hardman (Miami Palmetto), Rashad Henry (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), Nehemiah Larry (Hollywood South Broward - OLB), Jaizaih Lugo (Miami Central), Lucas Mielke (Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian Academy), St. Thomas Aquinas transfer David Vadala (Plantation American Heritage), University of Miami commitment Bobby Washington (Miami Palmetto), versatile Zavier Williams (Miami Coral Reef) and talented Marcus Woodley (Homestead).

2024 WILL BE SPECIAL

As solid as the 2023 class will be, the juniors are going to really be something to watch as well.

Prospects like Pompano Beach Blanche Ely transfer Allen Archie (Coconut Creek), gifted Dylan Calero (Miami Gulliver Prep), versatile C.J. Dales (Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons), elite Denzell Johnson and his teammate Jeno Junius (Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), fast-rising Charquez Lee (Miami Immaculata LaSalle), Eduardo Nunez (Homestead), ultra athletic Nicholas Nick” Rodriguez (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas) and one of the state’s best Vincent Shavers (Miami Monsignor Pace).

Davie Western transfer Kaleb Stewart (Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna) has looked really good. So have Miami Edison’s Eldreen Terma and up-and-coming Deerfield transfer Keith Thompson (Fort Lauderdale Dillard)

Class of 2025 stars of the future Ezekiel Marcellin (Miami Central) and Jack Sawyer, who starred for Hollywood Avant Garde Academy as a freshman, are two prospects to definitely check out this season.
