After losing to eventual state finalist West Broward in the second round of the state playoffs at Cypress Bay High School, Monarch head football coach Calvin Davis and his coaches quickly shifted to 2026.
The days following that setback in 6A, a contest that the Knights felt they had the chance to win, the focus was on what this program could do differently to take things a step further the following year.
With a number of student/athletes moving on, the coaching staff looked at what players would be returning.
Remember, this is south Florida and the only thing you can count on when it comes to any football season is that it will be hot and each game will be met with the threat of thunderstorms. Actually, counting on your roster to be the same as it was when November 2025 came to an end was a false hope.
With the movement of student/athletes coming and going, you can never be certain if players are staying – or which prospects will be added. This program has been very fortunate to have several key transfers over the past few years while putting the team to the ultimate test – with a quality schedule that included two years of playing in the prestigious Broward County National High School Football Showcase.
WHAT COULD 2026 LOOK LIKE FOR THE KNIGHTS
As we said, there is a long way to go before the start of the next season, so many players can come, and of course, depart for other schools, but this is a program that stays active year-round.
From camps and combines to 7-on-7 events and other things that keep the team together, there is a good chance that several of the current prospects will stay around.
Among the rising seniors for the 2027 class includes receivers Bryan Bynes (3.6 GPA) and Sanjae Fisher. Both of these impressive team leaders have been with the Knights from the very beginning.
Also, keep an eye on Class of 2027 prospects Chris Cortinas (WR), Nicholas Soto (OL – 3.4 GPA) and athlete Anthony Williams.
UNDERCLASSMEN ARE THE GLUE TO THIS TEAM AS WELL
In addition to the returning rising seniors in the 2027 class, there are also some impressive rising juniors in 2028 too. Prospects like running back Keshawn Paschall (3.1 GPA), Jordan Murray (OL-3.0 GPA), Conroy Whyte II (WR-3.2 GPA), Jeremiah Milcent (QB-3.0 GPA), fast-rising standout Darren Jeudy (Athlete),
Yhael Henry (OL-2.75 GPA), Aiden Davey (DE/OLB) and outside linebacker Gabrielle Scarsini.
Even the 2029 rising sophomores are ready to make an impact this off-season – such as Maurice Joseph (S), Jamise Bozeman (RB) and offensive lineman Khris Bessent.
