When Miami Gardens Monsignor Pace lost to 1A power West Palm Beach Cardinal Newman 46-7 in the opening game of the 2024 season, there was a feeling that it would be a long season for the Spartans.
Here was a program that had always been productive under head coach Anthony Walker Sr., but with several key prospects graduating - or being picked off by other schools, everything pointed to a struggle to compete in a tough 2A classification.
After that setback to the Crusaders, this program took a step back and looked at this season ahead.
What the players and coaches saw was a schedule that was challenging, but one that this team could manage and gain a state playoff spot.
What happened over the next two months was things came together, and the Spartans would win seven of the next eight games, which included victories over Miami Carol City, Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian and Miami Gulliver Prep and Miami Ransom Everglades in the first round of the state playoffs.
Despite losing a tough 20-14 contest in the second round of the playoffs to Miami Immaculata LaSalle, the year ended 8-3, and it showed this team that no matter what adversity they may face, the coaching and talent would overcome it.
As they are now in the off-season, all eyes are in 2025 – with several prospects coming back for 2025.
Among those rising seniors (2026) include Solomon Campbell (DB, 5-11, 175 – 3.2 GPA), Ismael Carmona (DL, 5-10, 185 – 2.6 GPA), Steve Carvil, Jr. (OL, 6-0, 210 - 2.5 GPA), Cleveland Gary III (LB, 6-0 205 – 3.9 GPA), Dejuan Johnson (OT, 6-8, 305), Dorrian Michel ((OL/DL, 5-9, 300 – 3.0 GPA), Zachariah Nozile (DL/OLB, 5-9, 210 – 2.9 GPA), Antonio Owens Jr. (DB, 5-7, 140 – 3.3 GPA), Rashad Wallace Jr. (RB, 5-8, 175 – 3.7 GPA), and defensive back Jordan Wooden (5-9, 160 – 2.9 GPA).
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR THE SPARTANS
As this program will rely on a talented and experienced senior (2026) class in 2025, keep an eye on this rising junior (2027) class that has several key prospects to keep an eye on.
Among those players will be Kahrim Bassette (WR, 5-9, 150 – 2.7 GPA), Jeysus Cobas (OL, 6-0, 260 – 2.9 GPA), Calvin Etienne (OL, 6-2, 325), Jose Fernandez (OL, 5-7, 230 – 2.6 GPA), Jamaal Gibson (WR, 5-10, 175 – 2.8 GPA), Jayden Govender (DB/WR, 5-6, 140), Jayden Gummer (LB, 6-0, 200 – 3.86 GPA), Abdul Hopkins (DB/LB, 5-11, 170 – 3.2 GPA), Tyre’ Lloyd (DB, 6-3, 180 – 2.6 GPA), Haendel Montlouis (OL, 5-9, 210 – 3.5 GPA), Jayden Perera (TE/WR, 6-2, 180 – 3.8 GPA), Isaiah Thurston (RB, 5-6, 160 – 2.6 GPA), and linebacker Liam Vazquez (5-10, 180 – 3.2 GPA).
Even the rising sophomores (Class of 2028) figure to play a key role in getting back to the state playoffs.
Watch prospects such as Tyler Bryant (WR, 5-9, 150 – 2.7 GPA), Maurice Cherry (WR, 5-9, 160 – 3.0 GPA), Michael Diaz (OL, 6-2, 250 – 2.5 GPA), Amari Finnie (WR, 5-6, 140 - 3.4 GPA), Aden Francois (QB/WR, 5-9, 160), Calique Gary (DB/WR, 5-7, 160), ZaKhari Johnson (DE/OLB, 5-11, 160 – 3.1 GPA), Nathaniel Merrell Jr. (QB, 6-3, 150 – 3.1 GPA), Ahziah Murphy (LB, 5-10, 165), Jaden Parker (OL, 6-3, 275), James Morgan (RB, 5-6, 140 – 3.6 GPA), and receiver Mykei Wade ( 5-9, 160 – 2.9 GPA).

MIAMI-DADE, BROWARD TRANSFERS? WE HAVE THEM FOR YOU. https://larryblustein.com/news/transfer-season-off-to-a-huge-start-in-miami-dade-broward
For the past 55 years, we have spent more time on football fields than anyone in the country. From games to practices, camps, combines and 7-on-7 events, we get to as many events as possible to see the athletes LIVE. Follow us on Facebook (Larry Blustein) Instagram (@OurBoyBlu) and Twitter (@PrepRedzoneFL). Contact us at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
The numbers are usually staggering, drawing interest from every corner of the country as well as colleges and universities from coast-to-coast.
The high school football transfers in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have long been recognized for the sheer numbers that take place every year.
With most of these students receiving an alternative form of education away from the physical schools, the flood gates are open to them competing in athletics anywhere they can attend practice and games.
While we attempt to keep track of ALL the transfers because of our extensive database that we have where college coaches are checking in daily, we have missed many who slid under the radar.
In looking over this transfer list, if you see anyone who isn’t there or perhaps at the wrong school, please drop us an E-Mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) so we can make the change. (DO NOT POST)!!!
We are NOT in this to give anyone their time in the spotlight. It’s all about getting it right so are young men can be looked at and recruited.
The schools in CAPS are the schools they attend now!
THANKS TO HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS, COACHES, SUPPORTERS AND PARENTS FOR SENDING US THESE. COLLEGE COACHES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EVERY CHANGE – AND THIS HELPS.

Over the past two seasons, Homestead South Dade’s football team was 14-10 with two state playoff appearances.
With the bar raising every year in Class 7A – with Miami Christopher Columbus leading the way – playing winning football may not be good enough.
As the Buccaneers head into the off-season a coaching change was made, and this program understands that losing 10 times may not be the recipe for making a dent among large schools in Florida.
Last week, the school made a change at the top as popular coach Patrick Burrows returns to the sideline in an attempt to put this program at the level with Columbus, Venice, Lake Mary, Sanford Seminole and other 7A schools who continue to make a legitimate push toward winning a state title.
It is no secret that South Dade has long been loaded with elite prospects as will be the case in 2025.
The rising senior (2026) class has a number of players coming back and will be infused with additional prospects along the way.
Here is a look at some of those prospects who are expected to lead the way this off-season:

Jean Calixte (WR/DB/QB. 6-1, 170 – 2.8 GPA).

As college coaches got back on the road this week, there were several prospects who remained under the radar.
While the senior (2025) class is still trying to get their student/athletes placed, the Class of 2026 (rising seniors) are now directly in the spotlight.
With so many football players getting their share of the attention – after the season and via camps and combines – there are a number in this next class that haven’t yet been discovered or offered.
As parents, players and coaches are finding that the recruiting process continues to get tougher with the transfer portal very much in play the next few months are so very important for these football prospects.
As is the case every year, south Florida is indeed the epicenter for talent, and college coaches from across the country understand that.
With so many talented prospects in this 2026 class, it is never easy to find everyone. Also keep in mind that this is the time where young men hit their growth spurt, often time completely changing the entire process.
