If you have followed us for any length of time, you already know that while we do spotlight and promote elite football talent in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, we also spend plenty of time making sure that EVERYONE who plays the sport also gets their share of the pie as well.

Via social media and other outlets, the one thing that we have been able to do is get teams, players and coaches – at every level – some of that much needed promotion that colleges and universities are always searching out.

Following football year-round – with no breaks at all – there is an opportunity to shine the light on student/athletes in every class and at every level.

Today, we put our focus on top-flight 2025 prospects who have already been getting attention, but some not enough.

We personally want to thank college and high school coaches, players and fans for the positive communication that they send us, recognizing what we do to assist in this process.

Deandre Desinor, RB/Athlete, 5-9, 170, Plantation American Heritage. This recent North Broward Prep transfer is easily one of the top prospects in the south Florida – after watching him the past two years. He is a tremendous line from scrimmage runner as well as key on passing downs and as a return specialist. He is quick, instinctive and can turn a game around just like that. Huge pickup for the defending 2A state runner up Patriots.

Chris Ewald, CB, 6-1, 170, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. Talk about making a major impact at the varsity level, this early University of Michigan commit has been showcasing his skills at the varsity level for two years, competing against some of the top football talent statewide, regionally, and nationally. Gifted cover corner who has the size and athletic ability to lineup against anyone – as he shows in practice each and every day going against elite offensive talent.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15107318/Chris-Ewald

Ben Hanks Jr., CB, 6-1, 165, Miami Booker T. Washington. After starting his freshman season at Doral Academy, this is someone who has been on the radar screen for two full years – as he continues to get better, working harder and learning from some outstanding talent. The son of one-time Miami High and Florida Gator standout, this coming season will see him start to further reach his potential. Already holds offers from some impressive Power 5 programs nationally.

Darriel Harper, WR, 5-9, 150, Miami Christopher Columbus. If you haven’t watched this quality talent play yet, we suggest that you keep your eye on this gifted playmaker who has the chance to be very special over the next two years. Already made an impact on the 4M state champion Explorers. As he matures and grows physically, you will see him continue to transform into a top-flight receiver. One who college coaches will start to flock to – with good reason. Solid talent on the rise.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/15189516/Darriel-Harper/about

Rayquan Williams, RB/S, 5-8, 165, Miami Sunset. Part of getting out and watching prospects live, you run into gifted football players like this who are way under the radar. Despite an injury this past season, you can see just why coaches and players have been raving about this young man over the past year. Those who watched him play agree that over the next two seasons – if he remains healthy – will leap into the spotlight because he is a tremendous football player who is loaded with athleticism.

When he took over the job at South Miami a few years back, Arties Knight knew his work would definitely be cut out for him.

But while the program had to do nearly a total rebuild, the veteran coach realized that the one thing he had in his pocket was the fact at the youth football level – especially in south Miami Dade – he was indeed respected and looked upon by athletes, coaches and parents as someone who has helped to not only teach the game of football, but also lessons in life.

Building a football program has taken a backseat to building character and continue to turn these young men into productive members of society as well as developing positive habits in the classroom.

Coming off a 5-4 season, the task continues and developing on and off the playing field is a process that continues – and while every student/athletes doesn’t have a 4.0 in the classroom, the ground is set each and every day.

With a talented senior class getting ready to move on, the underclass is now taking the spotlight and accepting the leadership that was left to them by the Class of 2023.

While there is still a long way to go progress is being made as this spring will help fill in the gaps for a number of prospects who still need to have some film for college coaches to get a look at.

TRACKING SOUTH FLORIDA (MIAMI-DADE & BROWARD) PROSPECTS – CLASSES 2024-2027. LAST UPDATED: January 11, 2023. https://larryblustein.com/prospects/tracking-south-florida-prospects COLLEGE COACHES ARE WATCHING ALL THE TIME, SO LET’S KEEP UPDATING – This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Each and every week we bring you prospects from Miami-Dade and Broward Counties to keep an eye on.

These football players are not all high-rated star talent, but prospects who are making some noise as they look to attract college attention.

Since last January, we have watched more football talent LIVE than any other source. Something that college coaches and players have noticed – seeing us at camps, combines, 7-on-7 events and at over 80 live games this past season, including seven in the first week of the state playoffs.

Because we watch film as an enhancement, it gives us a huge advantage when it comes to evaluating and ranking.

From Pensacola to the Florida Keys we have been able and fortunate to see football talent in every class, giving us a chance to compare talent against other prospects that are highly-rated.

While we have been called “old school” and “outdate” by a few who nobody ever sees at any events, the proof of what we have done for six decades is the following we have with college coaches and recruiting services. We point that out only to let those who are new to this recruiting process understand what we do and will continue to.

Spotlighting players year-round, we have the opportunity to tell you a little but about each and every football player.

Today, we look at five players from the rising sophomore class (2026) that we have watched at camps, combines, practices and in games.

This is a group that everyone knows about and will continue to watch their stock rise in the coming years:

Jabari Brady, WR, 6-3, 185, Coconut Creek Monarch. After a stellar youth career, this impressive talent made his high school debut last summer with head coach Calvin Davis and his Knights at the Keiser University 7-on-7 event where he had the opportunity to showcase his many skills with his new teammates as well as college coaches and recruiting services, seeing him perform for the first time.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14832320/61cb5dc1a681600558325542

Justice Fitzpatrick, DB/WR, 5-10, 175, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas. While the state media and recruiting services had the opportunity to watch him play for the first time in the state title game against Homestead, this is a gifted young man who had been turning heads all season – especially with his coaching staff – including head coach Roger Harriott, who has been impressed from the beginning. Definitely will be a prospect that everyone will be watching over the next three years as he continues to mature.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17955822/Justice-Fitzpatrick

Calvin Russell, WR/QB, 6-5, 176, Miami Northwestern. When he first popped into the spotlight as a freshman, it came as a quarterback for the Bulls as he was called upon in an emergency situation. What this impressive athlete, who is regarded as a top-flight basketball prospect and receiver, did was turn heads and prove that his athleticism goes way beyond just one position. He has a chance to become on the of the nation’s top players over the next three years for head coach Max Edwards and his always talented team.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17878157/Calvin-Russell

Malachi Toney, WR, 5-10, 170, Plantation American Heritage. From the opening game of the season on national TV (ESPN2) against Los Alamitos, California in the Broward County Football Showcase right through a season that took first year head coach Mike Smith to the state title game, this was one of those most dynamic football players you will ever see. Forget the fact that he was starting at the varsity level as a freshman, this quality talent took over games on a team loaded with elite talent. Could turn out to be one of the best nationally in this class!

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/17530655/Keenyi-Pepe

Kerby Vital, OL, 6-0, 250, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. When you start on the offensive line as a freshman for a team that is regarded as one of the best in the country, you know that you indeed have something special. Picking up so much from the seniors he played with and a coaching that is regarded as one of the best in the state, here is someone who has emerged as a player to watch for head coach Dameon Jones and the Lions. His opportunity to become a leader up front will continue to unfold in the coming years as this program seeks a record eighth consecutive state championship appearance.

TRACKING SOUTH FLORIDA (MIAMI-DADE & BROWARD) PROSPECTS – CLASSES 2024-2027.

It has been said that the success of south Florida’s high school football athletes on the field has hurt them when it comes to recruiting.

In a day where the transfer portal has made recruiting high school athletes tougher than ever, the talent that flows from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools has come to a point where there are far more athletes, who are qualified than colleges and universities to house them.

The sad thing about recruiting is we tell our student/athletes that if you get it done in the classroom everything will play out.

While the clock is ticking on this current class, there is still time for these young men to find a situation where financial aid will be provided to make the dream of getting a college education and still play the sport they love.

We have been trying to assist student/athletes in this process for years, and sending education and athletic information on to colleges and universities across the country.

Over the past decade, we assisted in over $10 million of financial aid packages and exposure to student/athletes across the Sunshine State – using our contacts that have been built up for a half century along with the exposure we provide for schools year round.

Today we take a look at qualified seniors in the Class of 2023 from Hialeah Barbara Golemen – with head coach Ariel Cribeiro (@ACribeiro3). Remember we provide this service FREE of charge, knowing that it is never easy to do things like this for yourself.

This week many high school coaches are attending the college coaching convention in North Carolina, which is a face-to-face meeting with coaches from across the nation. While we do our best work from our home base, and find no need to travel to meet college coaches that we talk to the entire year.

Here is a look at 12 student/athletes who have worked hard – and deserve a chance. The information that we put out for our fans has also been sent to nearly 800 college coaches at every level with additional evaluation material along with it.
