There is no hiding the fact that the first four weeks of the 2022 high school football season has been exciting and filled with some outstanding performances.

While many of the seniors are getting plenty of exposure so far – as colleges and universities look to fill their rosters with Class of 2023 talent, there have been some underclassmen who have found a way to steal the show.

Because of the outstanding youth leagues that we have in the south Florida area, it is not uncommon that a freshman or sophomore will enter school and compete at the varsity level right away. That has been going on for years – and that is a reason why colleges and universities are watching prospects as early as 14 and 15 years of age.

As we do throughout the course of the year, today we bring you five more talented young man to keep an eye on. Five prospects who are getting it done before their final season:

2025 – Jason “Weasel” Barket, QB, 6-0, 175, Miami Westminster Christian. With baseball lineage, here is a quality football player who has hit the high school varsity with plenty of talent and enthusiasm. From the same school that produced young stars such as Bill Henderson and David Thompson, this is a prospect with a strong and accurate arm and confidence way beyond his years. Whether it’s the short passing game or throwing long, he is someone college coaches need to start to watch for future reference. He also holds down a 3.5 GPA in the classroom.

2025 – Chris Ewald, CB, 6-1, 165, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. Playing on one of the nation’s best football teams, this is not a young man who blends in. Watch him play in any game and he turns heads. A three-year varsity player already, fans have had the chance to watch him play this game at a high level – and play it well. Will continue to emerge as one of the top talents in the state and country. He also gets it done in the classroom, where he holds down a 4.0 GPA.

2024 – Glenn Smith III, 5-10, 160, Miami Southridge. Transferring over from Somerset South Homestead this season, here is a gifted football talent who can do it all. Plenty of speed and athleticism, his ability to make plays has truly helped the Spartans already in this young season. Will continue to emerge as one of south Florida’s best over the next two seasons.

2025 – Deangelo Thompson Jr., DE, 6-3, 215, Miami Central. This is gifted talent who has already made an impact for the state’s No. 1 team. Since coming over from Miami Springs, his stock has started to rise as more analysts and recruiting specialists are getting the opportunity to watch his play at a high level and respond to every challenge. He is one of the many faces who will help the Rockets continue to dominate into the future.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/16484527/Deangelo-Thompson

2026 – Malachi Toney, WR, 5-10, 165, Plantation American Heritage. There may not be a freshman in the nation who has burst onto the scene against big time competition like this quality football player has. He has turned heads on national television as well as showcasing skills that many just do not have at this young age. As the season progresses, he will show that he is indeed ready to go up against anyone and get the job done. This is young man who plays this game at a very high level. Just remember the name – because you will definitely hear it for years and years to come!

For the first time in 16 years, Chaminade-Madonna walked out of a game with Plantation American Heritage with a win.

Last Friday night, a capacity crown saw the Lions remain unbeaten with a thrilling victory over head coach Mike Smith and his Patriots, 42-34, keeping their national title hopes alive.

While the Lions turned the ball over several time and made numerous mistakes, the talent and depth prevailed in the end.

Every time head coach Dameon Jones and his team tried to pull away, the Patriots had an answer as the battle between Ohio State-bound senior running back Mark Fletcher Jr. and Chaminade-Madonna impressive junior Davion Gause stole the spotlight with both having a say in this epic classic.

Even though the Patriots lost the game, many expect them to rebound and make a solid run at the state title game. The Lions are aiming for a record seventh consecutive state finals appearance.

We have gone three weeks of the 2022 high school football season and the action continues to come – fast and furious.

There is not a week that goes by where we are not watching high profile and marquee matchups that have an impact nationally, regionally and statewide.

With more games coming up today and tonight, it signals that there will be no off weeks for programs in the spotlight, and that is great for one of the most talented areas in the country.

There a number of games being played this Friday, involving Miami-Dade and Broward Schools, but we have five that could be what everyone will be talking about on Saturday and throughout the week.

No. 5 Plantation American Heritage (4-0) at No. 2 Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (3-0). There are many ways to look at this evening’s matchup that will attract national attention. For first year head coach Mike Smith and his Patriots this is a game that can firmly put this program back on the national map by beating a team that many believe that can lineup against ANYONE in the country – with elite talent on both sides of the ball. The Patriots are also loaded with quality talent, and they have more than proven it through the first four games. As for the Lions, they have answered every bell so far this season and have one of the toughest schedules in Florida. While head coach Dameon Jones and his team will never admit it, losing to the Patriots last year was something that stung and may have kept them from being a top 5-10 team nationally. Payback has to be on their minds!

No. 12 Coconut Creek (2-1) at No. 16 Plantation (2-1), 7:00. Flash back to last year at this time and the Cougars went to PAL Field in Plantation and walked out with a stunning and convincing win against head coach Steve Davis and his Colonels, paving the way for a district title. Coming off an overtime loss to state power Davie Western last week, head coach Johnnie Sloan and his team will be just as hungry to get back at Plantation for beating them in the playoffs. Any way you slice this game it will be exciting and filled with plenty of talent and big play potential.

Doral Academy (2-1) at West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman (3-0), 7:00. Coach Eddie Delgado and the Firebirds are still licking their wounds after being dominated by Rockledge, and while they need to continue to get things back in gear, they cannot afford to overlook head coach Jack Daniels and his Crusaders, who are on the cusp of being a state power – with elite prospects and great coaching. If Doral Academy comes to play, this will be exciting. But if they go through the motions, it could get away from them – fast!

No. 3 Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (3-0) at No. 7 Davie Western (2-0), 7:00. Last year is last year, but for head coach Adam Ratkevich and his Wildcats, losing to the Raiders in 2021 by 10 (31-21) has stayed with players and coaches for the past year. Still, head coach Roger Harriott and his team remain loaded with talent everywhere and are still a force nationally. For Western to win at home they will have to play a near perfect game.

No. 6 Miami Christopher Columbus (3-0) at Miami Palmetto (1-2), Tropical Park, 7:30. Are these two teams going in different directions? After last week’s convincing win at home against defending state champion Tampa Jesuit, head coach Dave Dunn and the Explorers are a favorite in 4M to make plenty of noise with a lot of talent. The Panthers and head coach Mike Manasco had hoped for a better start to the season, and while this is a long way from being over, a win tonight can change just about everything and give them the confidence moving forward. A loss is not the end of the world for either team – as this is likely to be the first of two matchups, and the second one will be the most important in late November.
