Because we get to watch as many prospects in south Florida live as anyone throughout the course of a year, there is more of an opportunity to discover prospects that many get a chance to see.
While the marquee players are always in the spotlight – whether it’s games, practices, camps, combines and 7-on-7 events, there is a large group that never gets the spotlight they deserve.
Over the past five plus decades, we have had the opportunity to watch, evaluate and track all levels of quarterback, it is wise to understand that a very small percentage of these young men really have the opportunity to compete at a major college. That’s why hundreds of colleges and universities across the country read our prospect information that includes EVERYONE. It’s a reputation that we are indeed proud about.
Anyone can talk about a star-rated athlete, but what about those athletes who will play at the D2, D3, NAIA or Junior College level? There are 30 times as many of those athletes than the ones being covered by every recruiting service, fan website and media agency.
Today, we take a look at some of the south Florida running backs to keep an eye on – in all classes. Remember, if there are prospects here that are not in the right places or anyone who should be added, please let us know (This email address is being protected from spambots.

STEPPING UP THIS COMING SEASON
Obviously this is a huge year for running backs in this area of the state.
The Class of 2023 has been on the radar for two solid seasons – with several of them getting plenty of interest from colleges and universities throughout the country.
Among those seniors for this upcoming season include Jason Demetrius (Doral Academy), veteran Jeremy Dinkins III and his Ohio State-bound Plantation American Heritage teammate Mark Fletcher, Plantation. The class also boasts one of the state’s elite backs in Jamari Ford (Miami Northwestern) and Miami Gulliver Prep transfer and Stanford commit Sedric Irvin (Miami Christopher Columbus).
The Class also has fast rising Fort Lauderdale Dillard speedster Chris Johnson, Jaden Miller (Homestead South Dade), three-year varsity starter Levy Miller (South Miami), elite back Kamari Moulton (Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons), elusive and talented Ean Pope (Miami Central), gifted Gemari Sands (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas) and soon to be three-year starter Javin Simpkins (Miami Norland).
The depth at the position in this class is certainly represented with Amari Swain (Coconut Creek Monarch, versatile all-purpose runner Xavier Terrell (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), North Miami transfer Omarion Williams (Miami Central) and Parkland Douglas transfer Matthew Wilson (Davie Western).
As solid as 2023 is with so many impressive football players, the Class of 2024 is also impressive – to say the least.
Among the prospects to keep an eye on are versatile Isaac Brown (Homestead), elusive Roger Adam III (Miami Dr. Krop), way under the radar Khamani Alexander (Miami Belen Jesuit), nationally-rated Davion Gause (Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), super versatile Ricky Joseph (Miami Beach) and under publicized Malachi Keels (Miami Westminster Christian), who is a big time athletes, and Sunrise Piper workhorse Malik Kelsey.
The class also boasts quality runner Jordan Lyle from Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, and Miami Booker T. Washington teammates Gerald Modest and Antwan Smith.
We already know how impressive the underclassmen will be in south Florida – with Class of 2025 standouts King Davis (Miami Northwestern), Chance Washington (Davie Western) and Byron Louis (Plantation American Heritage) already turning heads. Also, speedy 2026 prospect Kaj “Nitro” Baker Jr. (Pembroke Pines Somerset Academy) is truly one to watch this coming season.
