EYE ON RECRUITING: Miami Palmetto Panthers

If you have followed us long enough, you already know that very few promote EVERY and Broward Counties – at ALL levels.

With that in mind, colleges coaches from Hawaii to Maine and every in between keep an eye on what we produce.

We have never been in this to sell subscriptions or spotlight star-rated athletes. This is ALL about getting prospect information out to colleges and universities at every level.

With that said – and you know what we do and why we are here 365 days a year going to events, practices, camps, combines, and games and NOT sitting behind a computer – we will spend this off-season getting everyone promoted.

For over a half century, we have been honored to help football prospects across the state of Florida get some well-deserved recognition.

We not only put these prospects on this website for all fans to see and follow, but all the information that is provided to us is passed on to the over 500 college coaches that are part of our recruiting coverage. Today’s EYE ON RECRUITING will be on Miami Palmetto (@PantherPride305) guided by head coach Mike Manasco, whose Panthers are coming off a 6-6 season – with wins against Miami Killian, Coral Gables, Miami Edison, Homestead South Dade and Coconut Creek in the regular season – and West Broward in the playoffs before losing to eventual 4M state champion Miami Christopher Columbus.

“When you put together a group of gifted athletes who want to compete and play hard, this is results you get,” Coach Fresh explained. “We have only gotten started as this team will be headed to a number of cities – such as Tampa and Orlando as well as several other competitive tournaments throughout the state.”

2024

Rashard Carter, DB, 5-9, 160, Miami Norland – 4.4 GPA. With the addition of a number of impressive football players in this off-season, this is going to be one you will want to keep an eye. Soldi talent who has experience on his side.

Ryan Gonzalez, CB, 5-11, 170, Miami Archbishop Carroll – 3.5 GPA. A gifted young man who brings so much to the table as a student/athlete. Was a catalyst this past season for the Bulldogs.

Jaylen Morris, S, 5-10, 150, Miami Edison – 3.6 GPA. Talk about a football talent who is a leader and has plenty of talent. In addition to what he does on the field, he has made himself a true prospect with his work in the classroom.

Caleb Solomon, DB, 6-1, 180, Miramar – 4.5 GPA. Another player who not only tested well, but showed how gifted he was and will be for the Patriots in 2023. Solid football prospect.

Cameron Williams, DB, 5-9, 165, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas – 3.2 GPA. On a team loaded with gifted athletes, the experience that this young man has been able to pick up has been valuable. The Raiders shine the spotlight on all their student/athletes.

2025

Cameron Anderson, DB, 6-0, 160, Miami Norland – 3.5 GPA. Depth was a problem for the Vikings last season down the stretch, but with the addition of 14 football prospects in the off-season so far, gifted prospects like this will truly benefit and enhance his status.

Tywan Cox, DB, 5-10, 160, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna – 3.0 GPA. Follows in the footsteps of a family that has gotten it done for decades on the football field – at an elite level – and on the track as a runner. Solid football who always wants to improve!

Terrell Franklin, S, 5-11, 175, Miami St. Brendan – 3.2 GPA. When you look at head coach Steve Smith’s Sabres, it’s student/athletes like this that help to lift the level of play. Will do anything it takes to impact his football team. Also a quality student.

Dylan McCarthy, DB, 5-10, 155, Weston Cypress Bay – 3.0 GPA. One of many difference makers that head coach Bret Hood and his Lightning will be relying on to lift this team to that next level. This is a versatile football player who is gaining valuable experience.

Willie White, DB, 5-9, 170, Miami Beach – 3.4 GPA. One of the emerging football players in south Florida that has a chance to step to the next level as everyone will be watching. After some off-season combines, spring will be vital to his success moving forward.

2026

Javari Flowers, CB, 6-0, 180, Miami Central – 3.6 GPA. The four-time defending state champions seem to churn out this kind of football talent who combines so much that college coaches love. Has two full years to continue to showcase so many skills – on and off the playing field.

Walter “Deuce” Olden II, DB, 5-10, 160, Miami True North Classical Academy – 3.4 GPA. In a year where this young program came within one game of heading to the 1M state title game there are always going to be some unsung young players. Here is one of those impressive football players who continues to work hard throughout the year.

William Secola, S, 5-10, 135, Miami Archbishop Carroll – 3.33 GPA. The Bulldogs may have fallen short of their goals this past season, but head coach Jorge Zagales and this football team looked to plenty of young prospects to keep them in the spotlight for years to come.

2027

Angelo Smith, DB, 5-8, 135, Carol City Middle School. You can never start too young, and for this quality talent, the future is going to be very bright. By attending his first ever high school combine he is now ready for the future and will be back many, many times.
