Every year there are different camps and combine companies that come into south Florida and proclaim that their event is going to expose EVERY ATHLETE. That statement is simply not true!
What is true is that when it comes to taking care of their local prospects, NOBODY cares more than the local youth and high school coaches, who are there from the first day athletes in Miami-Dade, Broward & Palm Beach Counties put on shoulder pads and helmets for the very first time.
It is now time that EVERY local athlete (7th-12th grade) to have the opportunity for local coaches, recruiters and media to take care of themselves, and that is going to happen on Saturday, April 12th at Gwen Cherry Park (7090 N.W. 22nd Avenue, Miami, Fl. 33147). The Portal of South Florida Mega Camp will be the first of its kind.
For the first time ever, a local event – run by locals - will provide coaching, skill development, comprehensive training, team building, filmed drills, competition awards and exposure for every player that attends.
“Having promoted athletes for over six decades, I have to admit that there has never been an event, dedicated to the football prospects of south Florida that is run by the very coaches who have made it possible for so many to learn and develop their craft as players,” said Larry Blustein, who along with so many other local coaches and volunteers will be on hand for this ground-breaking event. “Other areas of the country benefit from the amazing talent we produce in the three counties plus the Keys every year, so it’s about time for our coaches to give back to these young men and women.”
From former professional athletes to college standouts and successful high school coaches, the camp will feature names that these communities know very well.

MIAMI-DADE/BROWARD INFORMATION YEAR-ROUND. https://larryblustein.com/
When it comes to high school football talent in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, almost every year those who follow the sport closely proclaim that the talent never falls off.
Check college and NFL rosters and you will see so many prospects that started their career in the two counties, so you can understand this assembly line of talent.
As we approach the 2025 season, all eyes have been on the rising senior class (2026) and rising juniors (2027), there is also another impressive group that had the chance last year, as freshmen, to showcase their many talents.
With spring right around the corner, the rising sophomore (2028) class has truly stepped up and started to grab some of that attention. Whether it has been at camps, combines or during the competitive 7-on-7 season, these standouts have made an impact.
Today, we look at five Class of 2028 players to continue to keep an eye on:
Justin Antenor, DB, 6-2, 162, Southwest Ranches Archbishop McCarthy. Want to find the ball on any given play, just look for No. 24 and you will see exactly what you are looking for. This is someone who quickly emerged into one of the top cover cornerbacks last season, and as he has grown and matured here in the off-season, this is certainly a prospect that everyone will be watching this off-season. The Mavericks played one of their most competitive schedules in many year which enhanced what he brought to the table.

Kobe Conway, WR, 6-1, 165, Fort Lauderdale NSU University School – 3.88 GPA. Even though many have watched him play the receiver position, this is one of those athletes who could play several positions if called. As a pass-catcher he is tough to cover. Runs very good patterns, but what makes him so valuable is his ability to break off a route to get open. He is most effective as a slot receiver, finding a seam and getting the yards needed to move the chains. He showed in the Sunshine State Athletic Conference state championship game that he can make things happen against elite competition.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/22362974/Kobe-Conway
2028 FLORIDA FOOTBALL PROSPECT WATCH: Damien Harvey, DL, 6-1, 250, Miami Central – 3.7 GPA. Here’s a surprise for you – the Rockets have another elite defensive lineman, and after his first season, there is no doubting how good this quality talent will be. He is strong, athletic and extremely quick off the ball. You try and block him with one player and you will lose the battle. He simply has everything a potential game-changer needs to be successful. Over the next two years he will be a national recruit and easily one of the top players in the state. Keep your eye on this young man!
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/22980313/Damien-Harvey
2028 FLORIDA FOOTBALL PROSPECT WATCH: Quizon Warner, DL, 6-1, 250, Pembroke Pines West Broward – 3.8 GPA. From the very start of last season, when he played for Hollywood South Broward, there is someone that was simply hard to miss. When you watch him play in person, it is hard to believe that he was only a freshman. He was quick off the ball, strong and very athletic. His coaches talked about him during the summer before his first year and this impressive talent more than lived up to that hype. He is a huge addition for the Bobcats who will be tested this season with a challenging schedule.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/23099464/quzion-Warner
2028 FLORIDA FOOTBALL PROSPECT WATCH: Antonio Wilcher, DL/FB, 6-2, 250, Miami Southridge. When all is said and done, the line classes for 2028 could be among the most talented and deepest we have seen in a long time. After playing as an 8th grader at Goulds Palm Glades, he made a major impact on the district championship team for the Spartans this past season. He is one of the most promising defensive line prospects in Florida and joins a solid group that will be sophomores this coming season. College coaches who have watched him play believe he will be an elite player.

As veteran head football coach Eddie Delgado, his players and assistant coaches look back at the 2024 season, all will agree that the Doral Academy Firebirds underachieved.
Finishing 5-5 overall and 1-2 in District 16-6A did land this team in the playoffs, but despite a win against Southwest Miami, it turned out to be the two district setbacks to Miami Southridge and Homestead that ended up being the downfall.
As they headed into the off-season and look toward spring, there is a sense that this program can start to turn the corner – with returning players and some newcomers that are expected to join in the coming months.
There are several players coming back that not only have the experience, but talent and leadership.

In his third decade as a head football coach, North Miami Beach graduate Jeff Bertani continues to do something that he started while a student in college.
What Bertani has represented over the years is exactly what his father and grandfather did before him. While teaching and developing talent, he continues to build programs and players with an opportunity to learn and play the best schedule possible.
As the Chargers once again competed against some of the elite local programs, they also took on the challenge of playing teams such as Auburn, Alabama, Lake City Columbia, 7A state finalist Lake Mary and the always talented Delray Beach Atlantic.
Finishing 1-2 in District 14-2A was good enough to make the state playoffs, and while they lost, this team learned enough and brought back plenty of talent to get over that hurdle and compete for a title.
If they are to get past Miami Booker T. Washington, Miami Carol City, Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace and Westland Hialeah, it will be the rising senior (2026) class that makes a difference.
Here are some of those players to keep an eye on:
Kenny Charlotin, LB/OL, 6'0, 200.

GIFTED UNDERCLASSMEN AWAIT THEIR CHANCE

John Gray, DB/RB, 5'9, 160, DB/RB.

INTO THE FUTURE
When the current school year comes to an end, and the summer begins, the Chargers will add a pair of quality Class of 2029 prospects, who are among the best in their class.
Keep an eye on Bo Bertani (QB/DB, 6'0, 155) and Jimmy Jean-Baptiste (OL/DL, 6'1, 270).

Once again on Monday night the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show took center stage with three impressive guests.
Each and every week, the AM 560 WQAM radio program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.
The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.
The show, which has run for nearly two decades, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on coaches and players in all sports.
Here is a look at the way Monday went:
