FORT LAUDERDALE – There are so many areas of this country that produces elite high school football talent, but when it comes to south Florida, everyone agrees that the prospects are just different.
When the Rivals Miami Elite Camp came to St. Thomas Aquinas High School last Sunday, the impressive array of current and future football talent was on display in all classes.
As local, regional, statewide and national recruiting gurus came out to give their opinions on this wave of football talent that colleges and universities will look to get into their respective programs, it was time to step up and showcase a region that has long churned out impressive players that have gone on to the next level and beyond.
Among the prospects that were on display were an emerging group of linemen that have already found their way onto the radar – nationally.
With several events geared to getting the linemen more exposure and raising the talent bar, those on hand watched a number of Miami-Dade and Broward players that will be in the spotlight over the next 10 months.
Here are some of the players who stepped up their game and were talked about by all who attended.
