Recruiting News

Tuesday, October 14th South Florida High School Sports Radio Show Rewind

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

Each and every week, the FM 104.3 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 Tuesday went:

We are coming down the homestretch in the 2025 high school football season in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties – with the state playoffs on the horizon. Andre Fernandez from the Miami Herald broke down some of the teams to watch.

The University of Miami will play host to Louisville this Friday night in a key Atlantic Coast Conference matchup. This is not an automatic win for the No. 2 rated ‘Canes against a quality program. David Lake from Inside The U talked about this key game.

We are just a few weeks away from the state high school football playoffs, and while we know who the favorites are, there are seedings to be determined over the next few weeks. Jon Santucci from USA Today covers the Sunshine State and talked about programs to keep an eye on.

Miami-Dade, Broward Week 9 – Playoff Slots Still Up For Grabs

While lightning, heavy rains and postponements will define the 2025 high school football season, the next few weeks will certainly tell the entire story.

With district games and playoff slotting at stake, every contest played will have a role in the post season.

State-Rated Delray Atlantic Will Test Coconut Creek Tonight

While there are several key district games this week, very few will have the impact that Delray Beach Atlantic and Coconut Creek will have this evening.

When the two south Florida powers kick things off at 7:00 in Coconut Creek, the District 14-5A title will be very much at stake – even with both teams still having another game after this evening.

For head coach Jamelle Murray and his state-rated Eagles, this is yet another chance for them to show the rest of the state that they are indeed a force in 5A.

With a talented senior (2026) class that includes prospects such as Horace Glenn III (CB/Athlete), Mark Hanniford (WR), Zayvion “Big Zay” Hayes (DL/TE), James Jones (WR/Athlete), Tyrelle Owens (DB), Kemari Walcott (Slot), and Terrell Wilson (DB).


There are also juniors Ky’Shawn Byrd (S/WR), Dereion Darby (RB), Jamir Johnson (DE), and Omari St. Fort (RB).

There is also talented sophomores (2028) Justin Barrera (WR) and quarterback Pedro Martinez and Ethan Hook (LB).

For veteran coach Chris Yeargin and his Cougars, there is plenty of elite talent as well.

Seniors (2026) such as Jordan Thompson (RB), Khameron Baker (LB/DE), Zanii Miller (Athlete), Tevin Sutherland (DE), Arron Power (QB/Athlete), Isaiah Sam (DE), and Sebastien Midi (DB).

The junior (2027) class is also stacked with talent such as Everett Butler (WR), Keyondre McClover (WR) and Isaiah Calixte (DB/WR).

The future also looks bright with 2028 sophomores Cayden Delions (RB), Josiah Sanchious (QB), Davion Lane (DL), Tatetreon Isom (CB/WR), and freshman Dorrian Simmons (WR).

Spotlight Shines Today For 4 Schools At Tropical Park

It’s no secret that when it comes to high school football in south Florida, there are those programs who get more than their share of the spotlight, and of course, those who are hidden.

If you played football or any sport – or have been around it for any length of time – you already know that the work put in at some of “lesser” programs equals what is going on at the more publicized schools.

As we head toward Week 8 of this fast-moving football season, several programs will not advance to the state playoffs or compete for an independent championship. That’s why when they have the opportunity to get their share of the spotlight, they take full advantage of it.

Today, on this Thursday, there will be a doubleheader at Tropical Park in Miami that will help to get players and coaches out there – many who will be playing this great sport for the final time – while others are looking for that much needed exposure to continue playing at the next level.
