Two weeks into spring and college coaches are getting the chance to see the amazing talent that is – and has always been Miami-Dade and Broward County football.
As prospects are now in full pads and having the chance to put themselves on the map, there are so many prospects – in all classes – that are showcasing the skill that continues to maintain that pipeline from south Florida high school football fields to colleges and universities nationwide.
Because we have long been fortunate to watch our football talent up close and personal, it has given us a chance to evaluate and watch these impressive young men from the time they enter high school until they depart as seniors.
This spring all eyes have been on the current rising senior (2026) class as well as those rising juniors (2027).
Even though the Class of 2028 (rising sophomores) has prospects who may have not had the chance to shine at the varsity level, many have – and that is why college coaches in the area are getting a jump on the future.
There are several prospects in the Class of 2028 who have already turned heads and the news has indeed reached colleges all over the country.
As we bring you prospects each and every day from the many events that we attend, today we have a few of those rising sophomores who are in the spotlight this spring with the other players who are being heavily recruited.
