If you have followed us for any length of time, you already know that when it comes to promoting and exposing ALL athletes at every level, very few can come close.
Our objective has always been about giving Miami-Dade and Broward County football prospects a forum where college coaches and recruiting services check out or lists and evaluations 12 months a year.
With the 2023 season winding down, there have been a number of younger football players that have been turning heads with their play.
While some have already jumped on the radar screen, there are others who have simply flown beneath the radar.
Today, we bring you five football players to keep an eye on:
2027 – Jayden Dean, OL, 6-2, 255, Miami Norland. In a region that very rarely produces elite offensive linemen, here is a freshman who has already shown that he is well on his way to becoming a top-flight “big man” over the next four years. His size, tremendous technique and maturity has given him some well-deserved exposure. Watch him emerge as a national talent over the next two seasons as he will attend exposure events that will provide him an opportunity to gain valuable exposure.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18274620/Jayden-Dean
2026 – Robert Kerns, QB, 6-0, 185, SW Ranches Archbishop McCarthy. In a season where this program has turned it all around, this is versatile athletes who has flown way beneath the radar. A quality leader on offense, who has shown some impressive qualities beyond his years. Being able to play several positions will open some doors over the next three years. Look for his recruiting to pick up dramatically in the off-season as he has the chance to show what he brings to the table. Not a household name yet, but stand by.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/18100152/Robert-Kerns
2026 – Jason Lopez, Athlete, 5-11, 170, Miami True North Classical Academy. No matter where you put this quality talent, he steps up and turns heads. Already on the major college radar as a receiver and defensive back, his best years are definitely ahead. This is one of those rare prospects that college coaches have been raving about for the past two years on a team that has also opened a lot of eyes. If you think he’s a difference maker on the football field, his skill level as a basketball player are equally as impressive and head-turning. There is little doubt that this may be one of the best athletes in the state!
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15232409/Jasen-Lopez
2026 – Louisdens Paul, LB, 5-10, 180, Miami Springs. While many who recruit and evaluate prospects choose to sit in front of a computer and watch film that anyone has access to, they continue to miss out on a talent like this. One of the fast-emerging linebackers in the state, his over 100 tackles for the Golden Hawks showed what he can do on the defensive side of the ball. Turned into quite a leader this season, and with the ability to play several positions, here is a gifted young man who will climb the ladder fast. Again, if you are a “computer recruiter” you will never find someone like this. He brings more to the table than what you watch on film.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17996023/Louisdens-Paul
2025 - Jabori Walton, CB, 6-0, 176, Miramar Everglades. Another of the hidden gems who makes plays and brings with him plenty of athleticism and skill. Has turned into a prospect that colleges are watching – bringing quickness and instinct to the table for the surprising Gators in 2023. Did we mention that he happens to be the younger brother of the great Duke Johnson, who is the University of Miami’s all-time leading rusher!

Lakeland, Miami Booker T. Washington, Miami Central and Miami Christopher Columbus. Four programs that are among the top 25 in the state of Florida. Four schools that have been beaten by Miami Norland.
When the unbeaten (8-0) Vikings beat Christopher Columbus, 16-3, last Friday night at Traz Powell Stadium, they captured the 2023 Greater Miami Athletic Conference (GMAC) title.
With head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers finishing in second place for the second straight years, the Vikings and veteran head coach Daryle Heidelberg moved one step closer to an unbeaten regular season.
Big plays and solid defense guided Norland throughout the night.
Davie Western 14, Miramar 6. The Wildcats have started to make some noise and they are quickly getting the attention of the 4M program across the state as well as south Florida. Winning the district championship two weeks ago, they took care of business against the Patriots.
Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas 35, Coconut Creek Monarch 19. Coming into the game, the Knights felt they had a chance to stay right with the four-time defending state champions, but the Raiders put their foot on the gas and sent a message that they are ready for a fifth straight title run.
Miami Booker T. Washington 13, Miami Edison 0 - Miami Booker T. Washington 24, Homestead South Dade 7. One of the teams that you better watch for in 2M are the Tornadoes and head coach Tim “Ice” Harris. They have battled everyone involved and figures to play Central in the second round of the state round of the state playoffs. They are getting healthy at the right time.

TOP PROSPECTS THIS WEEK
Every week we try to list talented Miami-Dade and Broward top players from the week.
Since we promote, by far, more players than anyone else, the talented young men that we may not spotlight on Monday, we more than make up for during the course of a week.
Here is a look at some of the local talent that we highlight this week:
Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas 2024 RB Jordan Lyle ran for 230 yards and 5 scores in a win over Coconut Creek Monarch.
2024 Aidan Karsh, QB, Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace was 16 of 24 for 260 yards and 4 touchdowns. Cole Rodriguez, 2027 K/P went 5/5 on extra points.
Hollywood Hills 2025 Athlete Amari Isaac scored 3 touchdowns, accounted for 160 yards and came up with 4 tackles.
2025 RB Elijah DeWoskin, Pembroke Pines West Broward continues to have a solid season as he ran for 125 yards and 2 scores in a win over rival Pembroke Pines Flanagan,
Miramar 2024 DE/Edge Shamar Meilke continued to have a tremendous season for Miramar as he added to his 19.5 sacks in a loss to Davie Western. He is committed to Indiana.
2024 LB Brendan Leal, Davie Western has been steady all year. This 3.65 (GPA) student had 9 tackles in a win last week.
Miami Somerset Silver Palms moved to 4-4 this past week as 2026 QB Humberto Serrano (150 yards passing and 2 TDs), Robert Reddish (1 receiving TD and interception), Jonathan Ramos (2 interceptions, 6 solo tackles and a forced fumble) and Jordan Lyons (7 solo tackles and a forced fumble).
2024 DL Andres Quiroz, Miami Coral Reef (10 tackles and 1 pass deflection).
Once again, Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy had several players step up. Among those were Senior QB Anthony Barbar (20/22 for 356 yards and 5 TDs), Junior WR/DE D.J. Wimbley (8 catches for 155 yards and 2 TDs. He added 2 tackles, 1 TFL and .5 sacks), Senior WR/LB Evan Tempro (5 catches for 72 yards and 2 TDs. He also had 2 tackles and .5 TFL) and Junior LB Mikee Varga (6 tackles, 3.5 TFLs and 1.5 sacks. He added a rush for 18 yards).
Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy continued to turn heads in Week 9. Among some of players that stepped up included QB Robert Kerns (8-13 for 171 and 2 TDs, 2 carries for 58 and a TD), Jeremiah Alexandre (7 carries for 77 yards and TD) and Kobi Williams (3 catches for 88 yards and 2 TDs).

As we head toward the second day of the 2023 Greater Miami Athletic Conference Week, two doubleheaders will take the spotlight.
As there are 10 games that will share the spotlight. Tropical Park and Traz Powell Stadium will be the place to be for over seven hours of football, highlighting GMAC programs as the conference continues to use this week to promote its many schools.
TROPICAL PARK TODAY
Coral Gables (4M, 4-3) vs. Miami Northwestern (2M, 2-6), 3:30. Obviously this has not been the year that the Bulls and first year head coach Michaelee Harris had planned for, but with a good showing and finishing off the season will be something to build on.
For the Cavaliers, a winning season was the objective when the year started. A great showing down the homestretch will also give head coach Frank Welsh and his team something to build on as well in 2024.
Miami Dr. Krop (3M, 4-3) vs. No. 8 Miami Palmetto (4M, 6-1), 7:30. When head coach Tom Caporale and the Lightning dropped the district title game a few weeks back, the objective was to finish off the season and get the seniors some final looks and prepare the juniors for the 2024 season.
The Panthers have bigger fish to fry as head coach Mike Manasco and his team will use this week as a springboard to make a run at a 4M state title. They are improving every week.
TRAZ POWELL STADIUM DOUBLE DIP
North Miami Beach (2M, 2-6) vs. Southwest Miami (3M. 1-7), 3:30. There is no getting around to the fact that these two teams have not achieved what they set out to do at the start of the year. Even with a tough schedule, veteran head coach Jeff Bertani and his Chargers were not satisfied, competing in one of the most talented districts in the state.
For head coach Taj Marshall and the Eagles, the objective is to develop and build a program that continues to make strides in playing competitive football.
No. 17 Miami Southridge (3M, 6-2) vs. No. 4 Miami Central (2M, 3-3),7:30. Nobody has to tell you the frustration the head coach Jube Joseph and the Rockets have felt this season. The four-time defending state champions have lost three times – two to the No. 1 and No. 3 programs in the nation, and a district title to unbeaten Miami Norland by a total of 10 points. This is still a team you must fear, and for good reason.
For head coach Pierre Senatus and his Spartans, things had been moving along until the district title game last week at Homestead – where the wheels fell off.

The 7 p.m. start at Milander Stadium in Hialeah will feature the Patriots of Hialeah American (2M, 4-3) against the Golden Hawks of Miami Springs (2M, 6-2).
This evening’s matchup gets four days of action started that will culminate on Saturday night.
The idea of GMAC Week was to showcase some of the state’s best teams in the #305 as they battle against each other in a north vs. south format.
Last year’s title game between Miami Central and Miami Christopher Columbus featured two state champions in an exciting game that came down to the fourth quarter before the Rockets emerged, 35-28.
This year, the defending 4M state champion Explorers will return to the big game against the surprising and undefeated Miami Norland Vikings.
