MIAMI – They came from Fort Myers, Delray Beach and from all around south Florida to compete.

From fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders going through their first combine/camp experience - to high school seniors looking to grab a part of the spotlight, they all headed to the legendary Gwen Cherry Park in the heart of Miami’s Liberty City.

The first ever South Florida Portal Mega Camp & Combine attracted nearly 100 football players looking to learn and find out about themselves.

While several young prospects were out there to see what the future holds for themselves on the gridiron, high school football players had the chance to make a statement.

With all the talent on hand, we bring you five gifted high school players that showcased their many skills in front of coaches and several parents who came out to support.

As we will continue to look at the inaugural event this week – featuring players and coaches – today we shine the spotlight on five prospects:

2027 – Samuel Boatright, DL/OL, 6’1, 250, Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy – 3.8 GPA. Wrestler. Big time athlete who brings it all to the football field with quickness, strength and the ability to pick things up. Will emerge as one of the elite rising juniors for the Mavericks and first year head coach Jake Pew this coming season. Versatile performer who cane lineup on either side of the ball. He was awarded as MVP.

2026 – Wynton Jones Jr., DB, 5’11, 165, Miami Palmetto – 2.8 GPA. Soon to be a four-year varsity performer for head coach Mike Manasco and his Panthers, he has turned into one of the best secondary performers in south Florida, and his leadership qualities and ability to play this game at a high level has brought the attention of several colleges. He is indeed one of the prospects that will be among the elite in south Florida for the 2025 season.

2026 – Sushanth Mortala, OL, 6’3, 255. Weston Cypress Bay – 3.0 GPA. Yet another line prospect who has been working hard over the past two years to have his stock rise. He has tremendous feet, improving technique and will be a major plus for head coach Bret Hood and his Lightning this season. He often attends camps and combines for the exposure and continues to pick up some valuable information from coaches like former Dolphin Mike Pouncey, who instructed the linemen at the event.

2026 – Humberto Serrano, QB, 5’11, 165, Somerset Academy Silver Palms – 3.0 GPA. This three-year varsity performer has been way under the radar for too long, and on Saturday, he showcased his skills, walking away with the MVP. A big-time talent who has arm strength, high football IQ and is the type of team player you want on your side. Keep your eye on this young man during the spring and summer and you will see what many have been missing.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17556288/Humberto-Serrano

2028 – Dejon Smith, LB/SS, 5’10, 175, Delray Beach Atlantic – 3.4 GPA. From over an hour away in Palm Beach County came one of Florida’s fast emerging stars, and in every drill, test and competition, this rising sophomore answered every bell and showed why he is regarded as one of the elite and versatile defensive prospects. Coach Jamelle Murray and the Eagles know that they have something special for the present and future. We will see him during the spring and summer.

If you follow high school football in south Florida, you already know about Fort Lauderdale High and head coach Richard Dunbar.

At the helm of his alma mater over the past 16 years, it has always been about developing student/athletes – on and off the playing field.

His experience as a football coach has gone a long way in getting his players to the next level at various colleges and universities.

While his Flying Ls have won during his time at the school, they have also developed positive work in the classroom, setting themselves up for a future away from the football field.

Coming off a 4-5 season in a competitive District 13-6A with Coconut Creek Monarch and Sunrise Piper, this team finished the season 3-1 and headed into the off-season with a good feeling.

In this off-season, a number of players have competed on 7-on-7 events and also played other sports which has kept them sharp for spring over the next few weeks.

If this team is going to be successful in 2025, it will be a strong rising senior (2026) class also with some younger players that are ready to contribute:

Once again on Thursday night the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show took center stage with three impressive guests.

Each and every week, the AM 560 WQAM radio program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.

The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.

The show, which has run for nearly two decades, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on coaches and players in all sports.

Here is a look at the way Thursday went:

The University of Florida will host their spring game this Saturday in Gainesville and Corey Bender from Gators Online broke it down.

The University of Miami will also hold their annual spring football game on campus this Saturday and Izubee Charles from CaneSport.com stopped by to talk about it.

We are now two weeks away from spring football, and whether it’s a camp, combine or 7-on-7 event, Miami-Dade and Broward prospects are making a push for college coaches to check out what they bring to the table.

It doesn’t matter what class you are in or what level you are going to play in college, this is the time when coaches across the country are watching film and seeing what football players they will visit when they head south in a few weeks.

Recruiting never stops – especially with the transfer portal playing a huge role in today’s process. That is why every exposure opportunity is essential – no matter how big or small the events are.

The saying that “you never know who is watching” may be more important than ever before.

Because we have the opportunity to promote thousands of prospects statewide here in Florida, the advantage of seeing prospects at every level gives us that advantage of not just paying attention to the star-rated athletes and gives college and universities an opportunity to see what we produce every day, exposing football players that we actually see and not from behind a computer, which hundreds of “analysts” do in the name of fooling everyone, especially themselves.

Getting out and see these Class of 2026 (rising seniors), 2027 (rising juniors) and 2028 (rising sophomores), it is important for many reasons.

Today we bring you some of the talent that the #305 and #954 have coming this spring, summer and into the 2025 season.
