When it comes to developing talent, there are very few coaches in south Florida that have done the job that Rex Nottage has done through the years.
Being at a program like North Broward Prep in Coconut Creek for a number of years, watching the job that this staff continues to do in teaching and elevating talent certainly adds up – like 2026 when the program reached the opening round of the state playoffs.
While losing to eventual state champions Sarasota Cardinal Mooney in that game, it only served that when you attend this school, you not only receive an amazing education in the classroom, but this is a football team that continues to promote and expose their student/athletes year-round.
Because Nottage and the staff have long been about teaching fundamentals and the benefits of having a strong weightroom, a number of quality prospects begin their career in this elite environment.
Like many smaller private schools, especially one like one this program has, having a number of players on the rosters is always an issue, but heading into the off-season, the Eagles do have some players coming back as rising seniors.
That 2027 class will include Zephaniah Brammer (CB/RB), Braxton Bylow (WR), Aidan Field (LS), Stone Golden (CB), Thor Hwasta (OLB), Sammy Kovari (QB/LS), Ryan Redmin (P), Miguel Rocha (DT), Mateo Sanchez (K/P), Daniel Tabraue (OL) and versatile lineman Joel Tabraue (OL/DL).
YOUNGER PLAYERS COULD MAKE AN IMPACT
While the senior class will always give any program experience and leadership, it’s the underclassmen, who not only add talent but also depth as well. With Class of 2028 (rising juniors) players Dylan Baxley (RB), Hunter Bristol (TE), Troy Burns (DB), Jacob Paul (WR), Ari Raines (DE), Eduard Shmandura (WR/SS) and outside linebacker/safety Christian Silverman, there are prospects that have a chance to be special.
Class of 2029 rising sophomores Damon Alexandre (NG/OG), newcomer Christian Deering (Athlete), Ralph Diaz (QB), Patrick Farrell (WR/SS), gifted Noah Finkelstein (LB) and defensive Nick Warren, there will be some players to keep an eye on. Class of 2030 rising freshman offensive lineman Jordan Terk is expected to emerge as well.
