5 Spring Prospects In Miami-Dade & Broward Counties.

Well, spring football officially comes to an end today.

The past month has been a time when college coaches have had ample time to watch current football players as well as those who are trying to jump on the radar screen for the future.

The month of May has been a time when colleges and universities have put the final touches on those Class of 2024 prospects while elevating the underclassmen to that next level.

With college camps starting at the end of the week, summer will only enhance what these players have shown over the past 20 practice days.

As we had the opportunity to travel around to see some quality prospects, there are a number of local players – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties who have jumped on the radar screen. Here are five of them:

2024 – Malik Clarke, DB, 6-0, 181, Miami Lakes Barbara Goleman. In a program that is looking for playmakers for the upcoming season, here is one of those quality football players who continues to improve and give the Gators an opportunity to reach the state playoffs this season. He is one of those leaders that a program like this needs. He makes plays and ignites the defense.

2025 – Anjuan “Ace” Coleman, WR, 5-1, 165, Miami Central. 3.5 GPA. On a team that is loaded in every direction, here is a junior that has turned heads this spring as we head toward the summer. Tremendous route runner who will surprise you with his skill level. Will truly emerge as a prospect that will help the powerhouse Rockets continue to improve this coming season.

2025 – Darius “Boobie” Johnson, WR, 5-11, 160, Miami Northwestern. There were a number of players who changed teams in the off season throughout the two counties, but when you add up everything that this young man brings to the table, here is definitely one of the most important prospects in south Florida. As the Bulls look to turn things around, this is someone who will be at the center of attention all summer.

2026 – Ronnie Jones, WR/SS, 6-1, 195, Miami Springs. One of the fastest-rising young talents in this region of the state, his ability to make plays on both sides of the ball has kept him in the spotlight with his size, skill level and athleticism to perform on both sides of the ball. Definitely was one of the players who caught the attention of college coaches who came through the summer – as well as his performance in the Golden Hawks’ spring game.

2024 – Robert Reddish, RB/CB, 5-11, 165, Somerset Silver Palms. Here is the perfect example of sitting at home watching film will never uncover a prospect like this. You can out all the athletes on all-star lists that you want, but unless you see what they do on the field and as leaders, your evaluation is hollow at best. Watching this playmaker perform and you will see why he made a major impact this spring. No matter where he lines up, he will make a difference with his speed, athletic ability and skill level. One of the players who will ignite the Stallions this coming season.

Harris Has Miami Northwestern On The Right Track

Can we be honest?

The job that Max Edwards did for Miami Northwestern was amazing. The Bulls won state titles and were recognized nationally as one of the premier programs in the country.

While many fans were bent on getting rid of Edwards – even when he was winning – it wore him down, although he will never admit it. It’s not acceptable to have non state championship seasons on 71st Street. That pressure has long been in place, and while the loyal and ardent supporters continue to want that bar as high as possible, the reality is this school is not the only powerhouse that south Florida and that state have.

But to be successful in the future, all that has to be behind this program and embrace the changes that were made. Changes that fans and boosters demanded. Edwards is now the Defensive Coordinator at Miami Booker T. Washington, and the Bulls have one of their own in place.

Last Saturday, Traz Powell Stadium – the “Mecca” that this program helped to create - was the perfect place to host a homecoming as former standout Michaelee Harris made his head coaching debut.

While his style of coaching is totally different than Edwards, the objective is the same, and nobody wants to turn this ship back around more than the one-time receiver standout.

Dressed in a jacket, long pants and a tie on a hot and humid morning, Harris was greeted by one of the most famous alumni, Teddy Bridgewater, and perhaps the next NFL star – Kamren Kinchens along with fans and supporters.

Bridgewater wears his emotions on his sleeve, and while he does so much for so many, he isn’t afraid to speak his mind about his alma mater that he has long carried the flag for. With pen and pad on hand, the collegiate and NFL standout wrote his notes on what he was watching and what he will share with Harris and his coaching staff.

“From now on, we are NOT Miami Northwestern,” he told his team after the intra-squad scrimmage ended. “When I was here, people knew us and respected us as the ‘West’ – and that is what we will work hard to get back to.”

What Saturday did was shine a spotlight on a team – mixed with youth and veterans, and while nobody is picking them to win a 2M state title, it would be hard to tell these young men and coaching staff who put in the work this spring that they won’t be in the mix.

Here is a look at some of the prospects the Bulls will have this summer – with perhaps more on the way:

Miami Booker T. Washington Secondary Gets Plenty of Attention

 It took exactly one year for head football coach Tim “Ice” Harris to start turning heads on the high school football field again.

After spending a few years at the college level, one of the state of Florida’s best football minds ever returned to Miami Booker T. Washington and immediately started to make an impact, putting the Tornadoes in a position to compete against anyone.

What Coach Harris and his team has accomplished since last spring is put this program back on the map, building every position on the field.

One of the positions that this team has developed is the defensive secondary, where this unit is easily among the best in south Florida, and is getting plenty of statewide exposure.

Drawing raves all spring from the college coaches who came to south Florida, this secondary has been showcasing some amazing talent.

Here is a look at some of those defensive backs who have been raising the bar – with help from first year defensive coordinator Max Edwards who joined his longtime friend Ice Harris this year.

2024 – Ronald Beliard Jr., FS/CB, 5-9, 165. Here is one of the least publicized of the all the gifted prospects, but one of the most versatile. Whether it’s at the corner or safety positions he comes up big with cover skills and tackling ability. Solid football player.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17638067/Ronald-Beliard-Jr

2025 – Antonio Branch, CB/FS, 6-2, 175. 3.2 GPA. Along with his teammate Ben Hanks Jr., this is one of the emerging stars in the country. His size, athletic ability and skill have elevated his stock and is considered to be one of this nation’s dominating and versatile talents. Every college coach who came through Overtown this spring was amazed at everything this young man does.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/16356296/Antonio-Branch-Jr

2025 – Ben Hanks Jr., CB, 6-1, 165. Following in the rather large footsteps of his father, who starred at Miami High and with the Florida Gators, this two-year varsity starter began his career at Doral Academy, but has made the move and has proven that no matter where you put him in the secondary, he is a major difference maker. Size, athleticism, and length are the things that college coaches talk about when raving about him.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/16372248/Ben-Hanks-Jr

2024 - Leroy James III, FS, 5-11, 175. Another of the versatile prospects that the Tornadoes boast about. His ability to play safety, free safety or cornerback has put him in the spotlight where college coaches continue to watch all the things he brings to the table. Not only can he cover from the corner position, but he will hit you and create many positives.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/14855983/Leroy-James-III

2024 – La’Varis Stanford, CB, 6-2, 175. 3.2 GPA. Another senior who adds to this impressive and physical secondary. Coming over from Miami Immaculata LaSalle this year, this was one of the most promising juniors in the Sunshine State last season – with tremendous ball skills as a tall corner who brought everything to the table. College coaches this spring were bowled over by everything he brings to the table as a football player and as a teammate.
