When former Miami Monsignor Pace star football player Kayvon Webster wanted to host a 7-on-7 tournament, he knew right where to head.
His alma mater would be the perfect spot to hold a summer 7-on-7, featuring some of south Florida’s top prospects – and he was right.
You don’t have to spend too much time in south Florida to know that the defensive secondary position is always going to be loaded – and this class is certainly no exception.
As we continue to spotlight the seniors (2022) in south Florida (Miami-Dade & Broward Counties), we take a look at the defensive secondary.
By now, everyone knows that this senior class has had to work overtime this summer to get recognition.
Because of the pandemic and not having any exposure for two years, this Class of 2022 made good use of the 26 days in June, and as many headed to college camps across the state and the southeast, the objective was simple: jump on a radar screen that very few had been able to jump on.
As the pandemic took its toll on so many Class of 2022 prospects over the past 15 months, there is one group that has been receiving plenty of attention during the summer.
With defensive linemen becoming a spot where college coaches are looking this year, Miami-Dade and Broward County seniors have certainly made a splash – not just locally – but nationally as well – as defensive ends, edge rushers and interior linemen are turning heads.
While south Florida has never really been a place where quarterbacks would line up for national recognition, but things have changed.
With more instruction and national attention, the quarterbacks in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties continue to get some looks – and for several who learned and played in the #305 and #954 – things are beginning to pay off.
