By now, we all understand the landscape of high school football in south Florida. It’s truly like no other area on earth.

The talent that flows from high school to college and then on to the NFL is amazing, and is starting to spread throughout the country – as more and more prospects are finding their way into the spotlight.

No matter where you go in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, there are an amazing array of receivers. Prospects who stretch the field and those who will hurt you underneath coverages. The speed is often the common denominator that separates the good from the great.

Because of the amazing competition that goes on 365 days a year, the end result is the football prospects continue to rise to another level – and often – beyond.

Better coaching, outstanding competition and a hunger to succeed are what drives the athletes of today. Many of these young men know that they have to be sharp and stay on top of their game at every turn.
