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.

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.

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.

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.

As we continue to promote and examine every position and every player in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, we continue to uncover some impressive prospects.
No matter what position or class, we have had the chance to watch film, see athletes live in so many settings that when we rank players, we have a much better feel about players than most who sit behind a computer and watch very few - if any of our standouts perform live and in person.
Recruiting has sadly reached a level where fans, coaches and players will follow a source just on the lists they produce – never taking into consideration that many players they rank or evaluate comes from video and NOT watching them in a live setting to determine character and the intangibles that truly make up the recruiting process.
THOSE 2024 LINEBACKERS ARE ON THE RISE
One of the positions we all continue to watch are the linebackers. With many underclassmen starting to make their way, today we look at some rising seniors in the class of 2024.
Remember, since hundreds and hundreds of college coaches view our lists, getting it right is indeed the most important part of what we do.
If there are any linebackers who no longer play the position or who have transferred, please let us know so we can immediately make the change. Just send to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Washington), Darrion Lovinsky - Miami Central - OLB), recent transfer Amen Mackey (OLB) and teammate Gavin Mortazavi (Miami Palmetto - OLB), and difference maker Eduardo Nunez (Homestead).

WINTER GARDEN, Fl. – When the Under Armour All-American camp headed to Florida, you just knew that there would be some impressive headliners and showstoppers.
With several media members and recruiting analysts on hand at West Orange High School, they were treated some amazing performances during a five hour period.
From nationally-rated prospects to south Florida stars, the day certainly gave the Sunshine State a reason to be proud of what’s ahead in Classes 2024, 2025 and event 2026.
While prospects sch as LSU commit Colin Hurley (QB, Jacksonville Trinity Christian), Korey Duff Jr. (TE/WR, Melville (N.Y.) St. Anthony’s, Clearwater Academy International OL Jason Zandamela, Jacksonville RAINES 2025 OL Solomon Thomas, Athlete Micahi Danzy from Tallahassee FSU High, Camdon Frier, Athlete, an FSU commit from Lake City Columbia, Sean Sevillano Jr., DL, Clearwater Academy International, defensive back Zavier Mincey, who was fresh off the basketball court for Daytona Beach Mainland, defensive back Cai Bates from Orlando Edgewater and DL L.J. McCray from Daytona Beach Mainland, whose father (Lawal) was a one-time head coach at Boyd Anderson, there were some south Florida stars who also turned heads.
Among those Miami-Dade and Broward standouts included recent Miami Jackson transfer Edge rusher Tyclean Luman (Miami Norland), who was voted co-MVP for the defensive line. Others were Chaminade-Madonna QB Cedrick Bailey, one of the top passers. The running backs also received plenty of recognition with recent Dillard transfer Chris Wheatley-Humphrey, Miami Booker T. Washington Gerald Modest Jr., and recent Tampa Wharton and IMG Academy transfer Stacy Gage (St. Thomas Aquinas). Gage was presented with an invitation to the Under Armour All-America Game.
Chaminade-Madonna standout athlete Joshisa Trader and teammate defensive back Zaquan Patterson, and St. Thomas Aquinas defensive backs Ryan Mack and Romanas Frderique Jr. turned heads as well.
Miami Norland, which has truly transformed their team, had Tyclean’s twin brother, Tycoolhill Luman, Monsignor Pace transfer Dimitry Nicolas and Miami Carol City under-the-radar nose tackle transfer Germaine Carter.
