5 Miami-Dade/Broward OL To Watch

For decades, the one position that lacked in the south Florida was the offensive line.

Let’s face it, the position was not a glamour spot and very few prospects came out of the two counties and left a mark at the next level and beyond.

The thought of paying any off-season attention to linemen was indeed laughable at best. Very few camps or clinics had been devoted to the position, but that has all changed.

Starting with 7-on-7 events, the emphasis was finally put on the trenches and the “big men” started to find their way into the spotlight.

As the competition grew, more prospects started to get better and move on to the next level – and when their playing days were over – they started to host events that happened to be geared for the line prospects, much like the skilled positions which had been a signature of the talent in this region.

As we head to the 2023 season, there are several college coaches who found their way to this area and are recruiting our linemen, and for the first time, the spotlight is beginning to shine in this direction.

As we have already given you the list of the 2024, 2025 and 2026 linemen in this area, today, we bring you up close and personal with five Class of 2024 (rising senior) line prospects:

Raynor Andrews, 6-6, 315, Miami Norland. No matter how you slice it, here is one of the top line prospects not only in south Florida, but anywhere in the state. One of several new players the Vikings have coming into 2023 season, this is certainly one of the best. He is back, strong, athletic and has that mean streak that it takes to be successful at this and the next level. Comes over from Miami Jackson where we had the opportunity to watch him – and we came away impressed with the many things he does.

Zack Boehly, 6-5, 270, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons. Yet another quality talent that we had the chance to watch live and in person, seeing him play against some top competition. This is one of the more technically sound prospects that they have here in this region. Very quick out of his stance and is equally as effective as a run blocker as he is proving time for the quarterback to throw the ball. Lot to like about this young man.

Lonnie Brady, 6-5, 255, Homestead. As a member of the state 3M runner up Broncos, he has certainly had the chance to showcase his many skills up from. Watching him perform in a number of games last season, this is a tall and active prospect who doesn’t stop until the end of the play. While he is often matched against defensive linemen who are a lot shorter, he adjusts during the course of a game to get his large frame into the opponent.

Keon Daceus, 6-1, 308, Coconut Creek. If those who rank football aren’t on this impressive talent, they are truly not doing their job. As many continue to promote several line prospects across the state, this is a name that is often left out, and that would be called NOT DOING YOUR HOME WORK. No matter who he faces off against, he becomes their nightmare for 48 minutes. He is strong, athletic and does not stop playing his position. Ask anyone the Cougars played against last season and all will tell you that No. 55 was a player to study all week. Keep an eye on him this year and you will see for yourself.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16005379/619049105caa7a0a6c1342a2

Luke Moise, 6-3, 285, Miami Central. Talk about versatile. This is a player that coaches have been talking about for two years – and every time you watch him perform, you are quickly reminded how talented and versatile he is. Can truly play anywhere up from – and will once again be a leader for the national champions as they look to defend their title in 2023.

5 Broward Rising 2025 Football Players

If you follow what we do throughout the course of a year, you already know that anyone who plays football in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties is what we concentrate on.

Unlike many fan websites who focus on the star-rated athletes, we go beyond that and recognize that Power 5 and Group of 5 football are not the only games in town.

While we do spotlight many of those elite players, we also make sure that those football prospects who will perform at the D2, D3, NAIA, Junior College, FSC and Prep Schools are also put in the spotlight to get their share of the attention.

Today we turn our attention to five Class of 2025 football players from Broward County who are not getting the attention, but still have dreams of one day playing at the next level while getting a college education.

Among those gifted young men include:

Toby Aurilla, DB/Athlete, 5-10, 160, Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian Academy. 3.8 GPA. Here is a two-way standout who has stepped up for the Eagles on both sides of the ball. A sure tackler who has the athleticism to come up with key tackles as well as make an impact on coverage from his cornerback position. An instinctive player who leads by example.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15222355/63adef1f4dec8a0f7c414648

Samael Hung, DT/OL, 6-0, 235, Coral Springs Taravella. 3.3 GPA. Because he plays for a program that rarely gets any exposure, this is someone who really has a chance to be special. A true nose tackle on the defensive side of the ball. Someone who is strong and competes with plenty of passion. Very tough to block because he plays low and makes it tough to get into his body. Yet another of these under-the-radar talents who makes an impact.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18378272/63f6e81864df1d09ac504445 

Tyler Jackson, Athlete, 5-9, 165, Fort Lauderdale Stranahan. No matter where he lines up, here is a quality talent who continues to get better and turns heads. Watch him play and you will see him make plays on both sides of the ball and on special teams where he showcases his aggressive style of play. A slot receiver who gets open and will make plays. Keep an eye on this young man. He is indeed a fast-rising prospect.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17536405/Tyler-Jackson

Shamauri O’Brien, CB, 5-11, 145, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons. On a team loaded with big time playmakers, here is a young, gifted football player who has the chance to make an impact this coming season. No the biggest player on the field, but his skill level gives him a chance to cover receivers who may have a physical advantage, but NOT be better as a pure football player. This is the type of football talent that this team features every season. Another prospect to keep an eye on.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17466113/Shamauri-OBrien

Tyler Seraphin, FS/CB South Plantation. If you watch this young man play, you can see that he is certainly someone who needs to be watched over the next year. As a cover cornerback he is athletic, has tremendous anticipation and is not afraid to fight for balls against some of the top receivers. His confidence level continues to go up every time he takes the field. His play as a safety showcases his aggressive style that the Paladins will certainly need moving forward. Can make plays in the open field.

2026 Miami-Dade/Broward Defensive Backs Start To Turn Heads

When it comes to defensive backs in south Florida – especially in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties – the list of amazing performers is long and productive.

From the high school level throughout college and into the NFL, for as long as anyone can remember, the talent that was produced in the secondary.

With so many athletes that are taught and trained to play cornerback and safety, the amount of impact players at the next level is amazing.

Just watching Chad Wilson and his All Eyes Defensive Back Camp workouts each weekend, you can see so many tremendous players who are on the radar way before the analysts have ever heard of them.

Instructors like Wilson and others get these talented football players from the earliest age to teach them the right way to do things.

It is because of players who compete in the defensive secondary, having a freshman or sophomore leave a mark in their first year.

The rising sophomore class of 2026 has some impressive athletic talent that were indeed on the radar before current lists were made, and while Wilson had talked about this group of skilled players years ago, many are just discovering them now.

Among those gifted Class of 2026 defensive backs include Darryl Bell III (Hialeah Barbara Goleman), Tyler Brown (Miami Belen Jesuit), Keyon Bryant (Hialeah American), Santonio Chatman (Miami Booker T. Washington), Kaleb DeClaire (South Plantation), Justice Fitzpatrick (Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), Javari Flowers (Miami Central) and Tedarius Hughes (Homestead South Dade).

The class also features Aldarius Johnson Jr. (Miami Northwestern), Tavarus Jones (Miami LaSalle), Wynton Jones Jr. (Miami Palmetto), versatile Bryant Junius (Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna), Brandon Kinsey (Miami Central), Tedrick Lee (Homestead South Dade), Karon Maycock (Miami Central), Jesiyah Miguel (Fort Lauderdale Dillard), athletic Dominic Turnbull (Miami True Classical Academy), Tyler Vieux (Miami Jackson) and Miami Coral Reef’s Kaleb Wells.

MORE ON THE WAY

While we gave you some to keep an eye on, you will see many more explode onto the scene during this off-season and into the spring.

Remember, because thousands of college coaches view our lists every day, the object is to get it right. Also, many prospects at this age play on both sides of the ball. If you see a prospect that isn’t listed, they could be at another position. If there are school changes, please let us know so colleges and recruiting services will know where they are at.
