There is simply no area in the nation – without hesitation – that experiences the transfers that Miami-Dade and Broward Counties does every year.

It is mind-boggling how the school of choice combined with alternative home schooling has changed football rosters in record numbers.

While it happens in every sport, football is king in south Florida and all eyes are on schools from Deerfield Beach down through Homestead and in every city and community in between.

As college coaches try their very best to keep up with where prospects are transferring to – the numbers are amazing – and as we are still well over a month before the start of spring, look for the numbers to grow.

Whether it’s for a coach or friends that you have who compete for other schools, there are a million reasons, but there is no getting around the fact that the rich are getting richer and there is no debating the fact.

Miami Northwestern and Teddy Bridgewater won the 3A state title last season after arch rival Miami Central, who beat the Bulls in the regular season, had to forfeit nine games. So far during the off-season the Bulls have received 16 new players – with many more on the way.

Northwestern isn’t the only school that benefits. Six-time defending state champion Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, national powerhouse Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna as well as some of the yearly powers are also loading up for the 2025 season.

As pre-season state and national rankings are being done by “experts”, many are taking into consideration that programs such as Pembroke Pines West Broward and Hollywood McArthur are adding a number of prospects that can easily affect their win total.

For whatever reason, the numbers continue to get higher and higher as some of the best football talent in the country continues to help change the landscape and future of football teams in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.

While many moves have been missed, we continue to do our best to keep up with the transfers. If you see one that we have missed, send it to us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

When the 2024 season came to close with a state playoff loss to Miami Edison, very few people could have predicted what the next five months would be like for Miami’s True North Classical Academy’s football program.

Following an 8-4 finish, which included a 1-1 district finish in a region with one of the top football teams in the nation sitting at the top every year.

While it’s always easy to say that you will one day knock Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna off a perch that the Lions have been more than comfortable at for more than a decade, you find after a while that talk is cheap. Real cheap!

Even though nobody is predicting anything crazy to happen in 2025, at least the Titans started to make a move in that direction, which many football purists snicker at and move on.

Since that playoff loss several moves have been made including the return of head coach Greg Laffere and some quality assistants with plenty of high school experience and ties to the many communities in the south Miami area.

In addition to the quality prospects returning in the rising senior (2026) and juniors (2027) classes, there are a number of elite underclassmen and transfers who already have impressive resumes.

With a schedule that will more than test this team and the new pieces, there is plenty of optimism this spring as the incoming prospects will look for that winning chemistry that will send this team into the summer with plenty of optimism.

Here is a look at some of those rising seniors to keep an eye on:

Since 1965 – When Miami Norland captured the first ever Florida state high school wrestling title, the sport has indeed flourished, crowing state and individual champions.

Last weekend, the Florida High School Athletic Association celebrated its 60th anniversary, crowning champions in the individual weight classes as well as in the three (1A, 2A, 3A) boys’ classes as well as the girls’ class for the fourth year.

Wrestling in the Sunshine State has grown to a point where it is now recognized nationally thanks to coaches, wrestlers and major contributors who have helped to elevate the sport.

Every year, those officials, coaches, media members and wrestlers are recognized by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame – Florida Chapter and its progressive state leaders – such as Gary Townsend (Executive Director), Don Smith (Vice President), Jane Townsend (Secretary), Emily Drews (Treasurer), Sam Agresti (Security), Bill Combs (Operations), Robert Matyskiel (Sergeant at Arms), Robert Burns (Nominations), Pete Collins (Museum Curator), Robert Thomas (Media Services), Jeff Malavsky (Development), and Cecelia Solomon (Administrative Assistant) who will be bringing this year’s Hall of Fame event on Friday and Saturday, August 22 & 23, 2025, Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort, 1850 Hotel Plaza Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830.

BROWARD COUNTY’S CHRIS HIXON AND JON VOGT WILL BE INDUCTED

Chris Hixon is being inducted posthumously for the “Medal of Courage”. After five years of active duty in the United States Navy, Chris started his coaching career in 1991. He held the head coaching position at Ft. Lauderdale, Blanche Ely, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Schools. In addition to coaching, Chris served as the Athletic Director for Blanche Ely, South Broward, and Marjory Stoneman Dougals High Schools. 

Throughout his career as an athletic director, he earned the “Distinguished Service Award” from the Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association, “State Award of Merit” from the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association, and “Athletic Director of the Year” from Broward County. 

Unfortunately, on February 14, 2018, Chris was killed while saving students during a mass gunman shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. 

It is the Florida Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame’s honor to welcome Chris.

Jon Vogt is being inducted for “Lifetime Service” as an official. A one-time Miramar High standout state champion, Jon became an F.H.S.A.A official in1989. Since 2008, he has been the President of the Broward County Athletic Association Wrestling Officials Association. Throughout his career, Jon has been selected to officiate the State Championships thirteen times, and the Regional Championships more than thirty times.

KISSIMMEE - After this past weekend at the Silver Spurs Arena, there is simply no doubt which region stands above the rest when it comes to boys wrestling in the Sunshine State.

While the girls did their thing with three individual state champions, including North Miami senior Mya Bethel, who became the first ever female wrestler to win four state titles in Florida high school competition, and 25 state placers and a second place team finish by South Dade, the boys dominated the three days.

Besides Bethel, other individual winners were Miami Southridge freshman Abigail Gonzalez (110) and South Dade’s unbeaten Willow White (120) of Homestead South Dade.

SOUTH DADE STILL ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

Where do we start? Let’s begin where head coach Vic Balmeceda and his South Dade Bucs won their 27^th state title, which includes 20 IBT (11^th straight) crowns and seven dual champions.

South Dade crowned state titles with Guillermo Jaramillo (126), Jovani Solis (138), Elvis Solis (144), Armand Williams (150), Tyree Graham (157), and Willie White (165). 

Kaleb Williams (120), Jonathan Moreno (175), and Daguy Massillon (285) also reached the finals. 

Other 3A champions included Lazaro Soto (106 - Southwest Miami), Jovanni Tovar (120 - Miami Southridge), Illia Kyryianenko (132 - Hollywood South Broward), Connor Bonney (175 - Miami Palmetto), Myron Mendez (215 - Southwest Miami) and Ryan Miret (285 - Miami Southridge).

SOMERSET ACADEMY RALLIES FOR TEAM TITLE

Last year, Pembroke Pines Somerset Academy took home the 1A state wrestling title, but with enrollment growing, they were elevated to 2A. No problem!

Veteran head coach Joe Blasucci used state titles from Tristan Sainz (150), Eric Hodge (157), Michael Sainz (175), and Mateo Martinez (190) to come from 7.5 down and beat defending state champion Tampa Jesuit by going 4-1 in the finals.

The Panthers placed nine wrestlers.

HOW ABOUT MATER LAKES?

Over the past few years, something special has been brewing in Hialeah – and after a 1A dual team championship back in January, head coach Brandon Neifeld and his Mater Lakes Bears rolled the competition by 63 points and left NO doubt in taking home their first IBT title.

With Kellen (113) and Keagan Mesina (120) leading the way, Mater Lakes Academy had five individual state titles.

Ethan Tran (126) and Kalias Nazario (165) also won state titles for the Bears. The only downer on the evening came when Damian Soto (190) was injured in the finals on an “illegal move” and was carried out of the arena on a spinal protection board. He was awarded the state title.

Other 1A champions were Elijah Castanon (106 - Miami Christian) and Cardinal Gibbons' three-time state winner Michael Mocco (215). 

The boys ended with 84 state placers!
