We are well into January and the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show took center stage with six impressive guests on a Monday night.

Each week, the FM 104.3 WQAM radio program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.

The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.

The program, which has run for nearly two decades and has been recognized nationally as one of the best of its kind, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on high sports and the newsmakers.

Here is a look at the way Monday went:

With a new head football coach, the Florida Gators are already making some surprising strides with the transfer portal and high school recruits, Tyler Harden from Swamp247 talked about the talent that first year head coach Jon Sumrall and his staff have to work with.

After a rough season, the Florida Atlantic University Owls and second-year head coach Zach Kittley have struck gold with returning players coming back, a solid recruiting class and well over 30 transfer portal prospects. Justin Backer from the Palm Beach Post joined the program to talk about 2026.

It was just one week ago when the Miami Hurricanes played for the national championship and the buzz is still loud enough for fans to start thinking about the 2026 season – where several key players are coming back along with transfer portal talent and one of the top recruiting classes the school has had at the high school level. Adam Lichtenstein from the South Florida Sun Sentinel talked about this program, heading into the spring.

There is a new head football coach at St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens and it’s a familiar name to fans throughout all of south Florida. Drew Davis, the son of one-time Miami Hurricanes head coach, Butch Davis, was named as the second head football coach in school history and he is ready to elevate the Bobcats.

Over the past two plus decades, South Dade High School has dominated the sport of wrestling – with 28 state titles and helping dozens of elite athletes get to the next level. From Mike McCoy to Vic Balmeceda to current head coach Humberto “Duck” Reyna Jr., this team has routinely dominated the competition. Over the weekend, the Bucs won their eighth dual meet title in Kissimmee. The first ever for Reyna as head coach.
