St. Thomas University Strikes Gold At Home

Before Wednesday’s second National Signing Day, St. Thomas University head coach Bill Rychel and his staff wanted to make sure that south Florida prospects would play a huge part in this year’s class.

After another impressive finish this past season, competing in the same conference as national champion West Palm Beach Keiser University, the Bobcats wanted to secure Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties – much like they have the past few years.

With coaches attending nearly everything in the region over the past year, it was a given that when it came to signing on the dotted line, there would be some familiar faces, and there were.

Among those staying “home” from the Tri-County area included Chosen Allen (DL, Davie Western), Amari Bigger (DL, Hallandale), Norris Brinkley (OL, Delray Beach Atlantic), Dylan Burrowes (DL, Deerfield Beach), Angel Cedeno (OL, Miami Immaculata LaSalle), Martaz Charles (OL, Davie Western), Brondson Etienne (TE, Key West), Christian Grier (DL, Hollywood McArthur), Robbie Henry (WR, Miami Lakes Barbara Goleman), Dennis Ivanov (OL, Boca Raton), and receiver Jermaine Jones (Homestead).

The class also featured Malik Kesley (RB, Coconut Creek Monarch), Demetrius Kinchens (DB, North Miami), Adin Lin (OL, Coconut Creek Monarch), Terrell Lo-Ray (WR, Coconut Creek Monarch), Eduardo Lorenzo (OL, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas), Keyon Martin (DB, Homestead), Elisson Mirutil (OL, Miami Palmetto), Eric Morris Jr. (LB, Fort Lauderdale Stranahan), Anthony Olazabal (DL, North Miami), Carson Perusse (WR, Wellington), Brandon Pierre (WR, Hialeah American), Devante Pierre (DL, Greenacres John I. Leonard), and Delray Atlantic receiver O’Neil Shearer, Reggie Smith III (DB, Hollywood McArthur), and offensive lineman Devondre Stephen (Hollywood South Broward).

The Bobcats will also welcome in Lamarcus Taylor (WR, Miami Palmetto), Evan Tempro (TE/LB, Fort Lauderdale Westminster Academy), Rueben Toombs Jr. (QB, Fort Lauderdale Stranahan), Ethan Vanzant (OL, Miami Palmer Trinity), Marcelino Vega (RB, Hollywood McArthur), Jonathan Ward Jr. (LB, Hollywood South Broward), Demetrius Williams, RB, Homestead South Dade, and linebacker Tyler Wilson (Lake Worth Park Vista)

The Bobcats also sank their teeth into the Panhandle (Pensacola), Jacksonville, Orlando, southwest Florida, Williston, Bradford County, Panama City, Chiefland, Ocala, Union County, Live Oak Suwannee, Sebring and into the Treasure and Space Coast as well.

Keeping Up With Miami-Dade & Broward High School Football Transfers

Every year, the numbers are staggering, and it appears that once again, south Florida will be in the spotlight.
While many across Miami-Dade and Broward County boast about the number of football transfers in the two counties, fans across the state – and the nation are blown away at the sheer numbers who come and go.
This year, coaching changes have contributed to the total, but it still has many shaking their collective heads at the comings and goings.
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 (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) so we can make the change. (DO NOT POST)!!! It’s all about getting it right so our young men can be looked at and recruited.
The schools in CAPS are the schools they are attending 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.

PRE-SPRING: Monsignor Pace Looking For Another State Playoff Run

While the Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace Spartans finished 7-5 this past season, there was much to like about the way things worked out.

All the losses that this team had came at the hands of state playoff teams, and because of that schedule and being in the same district as powers Miami Central and Miami Norland, it earned them a spot in the post season.

When the season ended, head coach Anthony Walker, his coaching staff and returning players looked at the season and knew that if they could work hard this off-season and into the spring and summer, the results could change.

While the objective is certainly to get back to the state playoffs, there is also a need to develop players and not only set the table for 2024, but the future as well.

This is a team that has athletes who want to play the game and get better – and it reflects at the top with the rising senior (2025) class.

The group has talent, experience and is developing leadership which will ne key with so many underclassmen waiting to follow and add depth.

Among those seniors include Willie Anderson (WR, 5-11, 160 – 2.8 GPA), Brinley Armand (OL, 6-3, 235 – 3.1 GPA), Jayden Armstrong (DB, 5-7, 160), Sincere Benjamin (LB/SS, 6-0, 200 – 2.7 GPA), Marlon Brown Jr. (DB, 5-10, 165 – 2.5 GPA), Joshua Burgos (OL, 6-3, 315), Gabriel Cline (WR/TE, 6-3, 210 – 4.0 GPA), Justin Fowler (DB/WR, 5-7, 140 – 3.1 GPA), and quarterback Mycah Johnson (6-0, 190 – 3.3 GPA).

The class also features Kamari Kendrick (DE/LB, 5-11, 215 – 2.7 GPA), Merrick Martino (DB, 5-11, 180 – 3.8 GPA), Sean Ponder (QB, 6-2, 210 – 3.0 GPA), heavily recruited Wilnerson Telamaque (DE, 6-6, 240 – 2.7 GPA), Jaiden Toussaint (RB, 5-10, 170), and receiver Amare Whetsell (6-0, 170 – 3.2 GPA).

THE UNDERCLASS IS STACKED WITH TALENT

While the rising senior class will certainly be counted on for the experience and leadership, the underclassmen will be very valuable for the Spartans.

Among the rising junior (2026) class that we will hear about will be Daveon Black (WR/DB, 6-0, 180 – 3.6 GPA), versatile Damani Downs (WR/DB, 6-1, 165 – 2.6 GPA), heavily recruited Cleveland Gary III (LB, 5-11, 195 – 4.0 GPA), Marek Marcellus (DB, 5-10, 160 – 3.7 GPA), Dorrian Michel (OL/DL, 5-9, 300 – 3.0 GPA), Zachariah Nozile (LB, 5-9, 195 – 2.7 GPA), Antonio Owens Jr. (DB, 5-7, 140 – 3.5 GPA), Terrance Petit-Frere (RB, 5-9, 150 – 3.4 GPA), Amare Richardson (LB, 5-8, 165 – 2.5 GPA), and running back Rashad Wallace Jr. (5-8, 175 – 3.6 GPA).

The rising sophomore class in 2027 will also be a major part of the present and future of this program – with Nicholas Ariza (QB, 5-10, 160 – 3.2 GPA), Kahrim Bassette (WR, 5-7, 130 – 3.0 GPA), Calvin Etienne (DL, 6-1, 320), Jayden Govender (DB/WR, 5-5, 135), Andrew Gross (LB/TE, 5-9, 175), Jayden Gummer (LB/RB, 5-11, 185 – 3.6 GPA), and quarterback Korde Hinch (5-11, 180 – 2.5 GPA).

The class also boasts Tyre’ Lloyd (DB, 6-2, 160 – 2.8 GPA), Malik Meza (DB, 5-7, 150), Haendel Montlouis (OL, 5-8, 210 – 3.5 GPA), Demarcus Robinson (DB, 5-9, 140 – 2.7 GPA), Isaiah Thurston (RB, 5-6, 160 – 2.6 GPA), and linebacker Liam Vazquez (5-10, 180 – 3.2 GPA)
