The numbers are usually staggering, drawing interest from every corner of the country as well as colleges and universities from coast-to-coast.
The high school football transfers in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have long been recognized for the sheer numbers that take place every year.
With most of these students receiving an alternative form of education away from the physical schools, the flood gates are open to them competing in athletics anywhere they can attend practice and games.
While we attempt to keep track of ALL the transfers because of our extensive database that we have where college coaches are checking in daily, we have missed many who slid under the radar.
In looking over this transfer list, if you see anyone who isn’t there or perhaps at the wrong school, please drop us an E-Mail (Floridakids1@aol.com) so we can make the change. (DO NOT POST)!!!
We are NOT in this to give anyone their time in the spotlight. It’s all about getting it right so are young men can be looked at and recruited.
The schools in CAPS are the schools they attend now!
THANKS TO HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS, COACHES, SUPPORTERS AND PARENTS FOR SENDING US THESE. COLLEGE COACHES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EVERY CHANGE – AND THIS HELPS.

Over the past two seasons, Homestead South Dade’s football team was 14-10 with two state playoff appearances.
With the bar raising every year in Class 7A – with Miami Christopher Columbus leading the way – playing winning football may not be good enough.
As the Buccaneers head into the off-season a coaching change was made, and this program understands that losing 10 times may not be the recipe for making a dent among large schools in Florida.
Last week, the school made a change at the top as popular coach Patrick Burrows returns to the sideline in an attempt to put this program at the level with Columbus, Venice, Lake Mary, Sanford Seminole and other 7A schools who continue to make a legitimate push toward winning a state title.
It is no secret that South Dade has long been loaded with elite prospects as will be the case in 2025.
The rising senior (2026) class has a number of players coming back and will be infused with additional prospects along the way.
Here is a look at some of those prospects who are expected to lead the way this off-season:

As college coaches got back on the road this week, there were several prospects who remained under the radar.
While the senior (2025) class is still trying to get their student/athletes placed, the Class of 2026 (rising seniors) are now directly in the spotlight.
With so many football players getting their share of the attention – after the season and via camps and combines – there are a number in this next class that haven’t yet been discovered or offered.
As parents, players and coaches are finding that the recruiting process continues to get tougher with the transfer portal very much in play the next few months are so very important for these football prospects.
As is the case every year, south Florida is indeed the epicenter for talent, and college coaches from across the country understand that.
With so many talented prospects in this 2026 class, it is never easy to find everyone. Also keep in mind that this is the time where young men hit their growth spurt, often time completely changing the entire process.
Today, we bring you 20 Class of 2026 players – some you have watched or heard about while others are jumping on to the radar for the first time.
Among those prospects Miami True North Classical Academy players Camaul King and recent Homestead transfer Duane Johnson (LB, 6-3, 190).
In addition, there are Anthony Brown (OL, 6-3, 315, Miami Palmetto), Cleveland Gary III (DL, 6-0, 210, Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace), Alejandro Schmitt (DL, 6-5, 240, Pembroke Pines West Broward), Jakari Johnson (DB/WR, 6-0, 180, Plantation), Sushanth Mortala (OL/DL, 6-3, 255, Weston Cypress Bay), Corey Swint (WR, 5-10, 165, Miami Palmetto), Brandon Clarke (CB, 5-11, 165) and Jaylon Ammons (CB/WR, 5-11, 170, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons), Hudson Schwartz (LB/LS, 6-0, 200, Fort Lauderdale Pine Crest – 3.85 GPA), Shane Zoberg (DB, 5-11, 165, Parkland Douglas – 3.5 GPA), Mahki Vance (RB/Athlete, 5-11, 180, SW Ranches Archbishop McCarthy).
Some of the other players who will be watched in the off-season includes Quincy Walker (Athlete, 6-0, 190, Pembroke Pines West Broward), J.J. Rochford (OL, 6-3, 300, Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian Academy), Reggie Camille (DL, 6-4, 217, Plantation American Heritage), Ahzel Damis (WR/RB, 5-11, 170, Pembroke Pines Flanagan), Arron Power Jr. (QB, 5-9, 165, Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson – 3.9 GPA), Michael Smarts (DE, 6-5, 220, Davie Nova – 3.0 GPA) and Daveon Black (WR/CB, 6-0, 167, Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace).

Moments after their convincing 34-0 win against previously unbeaten Lakeland in the 5A state title game, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas head coach Roger Harriott and his staff quickly put the focus on 2025.
Winning their amazing sixth straight state championship, the Raiders knew that while they were losing some key playmakers, there were numerous prospects coming back to a program that has built a dynasty in the state of Florida.
For the next few months, we will look at what the state of Florida football programs have coming back for 2025.
While we know the rosters will change with additions and subtractions, this gives college coaches and fans an opportunity to see some of the prospects who will have a chance to make an impact this coming year.
We continue with our state finalists and then continue with the other teams across the Sunshine State.

Over the next eight months, there will be dozens and dozens of high-profile football prospects from Miami-Dade and Broward Counties who will be talked about and compared to many of the elite Class of 2026 rising seniors from all over the country.
Because south Florida has long been the epicenter for amazing talent that stars at the next level and beyond, anytime a name is mentioned as one of the best in the country, people listen.
It is a proven fact that the football talent that is bred in south Florida usually takes center stage in college and in the NFL.
The talk of college football this season has been Ohio State freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith, and it hasn’t been close.
While this gifted young man is surprising to some, in Florida he is simply doing what basically everyone who follows high school football knew would happen.
He dominated competition in Florida over the past three years at Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna, so it was a given that he would continue at the next level.
The pipeline from south Florida to anywhere in the country has flowed for decades. Major talent has not only found itself making a major impact in college, but Sundays have long been filled with elite talent that started right here on football fields throughout south Florida.
As the 2026 rising senior class gets ready for the off-season, where analysts, coaches and fans will see many of them for the first time, the questions will be asked: who is the next great high school talent that is ready to crush it at the next level?
Today we bring you five elite Class of 2026 players who have already received national attention and are set to continue making that lasting impression.
Derrek Cooper, Athlete, 6-1, 190, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. There is perhaps no other football talent that many can recall that went from basically nowhere to a deemed “5 star” talent like this young man. Even though he had a promising freshman and sophomore career at Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, it wasn’t until he made the move this past year that his amazing talents – on both sides of the ball – came out for all to see. Cooper is indeed at the top of every list, and while many are looking at his talents as a running back, he is also quite a linebacker who has speed, strength and instincts. He is a lot like former Chaminade-Madonna two-way star Jon Beason.

Calvin Russell III, WR, 6-4, 180, Miami Northwestern. Here is someone that everybody in Liberty City and beyond has been bragging about for a long time. A major basketball prospect who has more than made a smooth transition to the football field. He is one of those “plug and play” prospects who could lineup at several positions on both sides of the ball and make a major difference. He is indeed a cheat code as a receiver with speed, solid hands, leaping ability, size and overall athleticism. During this coming off-season you will watch his stock go through the roof as he will compete against some of the premier defensive backs on the 7-on-7 tour.

Dia Bell, QB, 6-2, 190, Plantation American Heritage. While his family background screams basketball – with his father, Raja, starring in the NBA – here is someone who has certainly carved out his own future on the gridiron. While he could still drop 20 points on any given night on the basketball court, this University of Texas commitment showed why he is one of the best run/pass prospects in the nation this year as a record setter who lead his Patriots into the playoffs and eventually win it all. He has all the tools needed to succeed and this coming season will be worth keeping an eye on.

Justice Fitzpatrick, CB, 6-2, 185, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas. From the very first time he put on a uniform and competed for the Raiders, this is a gifted prospect that showcased some amazing skills and playmaking abilities. While his older brother Minkah has been a star in the NFL after a tremendous collegiate career at the University of Alabama. Justice has size, speed, athletic ability and a unique knowledge of performing in the secondary. Has been part of three state championships as he looks to complete a rare four-peat as a player. Continues to get better and better.

Jordan Campbell, LB, 6-3, 235, Miami Carol City. While he has been committed to the University of Miami for over a year, and a lot of people have talked about him, his full talent finally came out for all to see last week at the Under Armour All-America week and game in central Florida. What everyone saw was an elite football talent that is a big-time playmaker with instincts and athletic ability that is off the charts. As he heads into the off-season, there is no getting around the fact that this young man is the real deal! He came away from last week with accolades flowing from several organizations who had never watched him – outside of film.
