The one thing that casual football fans will never understand is from January through July, the recruiting process is perhaps busier than any other time of year.

Because the season is reserved for Thursday and Friday where games take center stage, many college coaches do not have the time to keep an ear close to what is happening at high schools across the country. They are trying to run their own programs.

With camps, combines, 7-on-7 events and spring football, the seven month “off-season” provides that forum the athletes need to turn heads and eventually get those offers.

As we are now two weeks into the summer, several talented prospects throughout Miami-Dade and Broward are getting the chance to thrust themselves on the radar – while others continue to enhance what many have already watched.

No matter what class it is, the prospects are out there in the hot sun at college campuses trying to get an advantage over the competition in front of the very college coaches that need to impress.

Once again, this summer, we are fortunate to be at the center of these events, watching and promoting the talent live and not from sitting behind a computer or listening to what others have to say.

As we continue to do year-round, shining the spotlight and promoting these gifted young men is what gives us a chance to assist in this competitive process.

Today, we bring you five more #305 and #954 talent that continues to make an impression:

2026 – Terrell Evans Jr., DE, 6’5, 225, Hialeah. Ever since his freshman season, here is a prospect that everyone was watching. He has size, quickness, athleticism and is always around the ball. Head Coach Tony Smith and the Thoroughbreds have something very special in this quality talent who continues to work hard and show plenty of leadership – which this program will need this coming season. Offered by Wofford, but is being looked at by a number of colleges who see some great things ahead.

2026 – Brandin Mincey, QB, 6’1, 170, Pembroke Pines West Broward. For those who follow this game remember the impact he made back as far as his freshman season at Miami Jackson. Makes the move north and he has been the talk of south Florida football so far this off-season. His ability to throw the ball with accuracy, run when needed and display leadership has put him in a position where he is one of the top prospects in the class for head coach Brian McCartney’s Bobcats.

2026 – Xavier Payne, OL, 6’7, 314, Miami Edison. After playing a key role last season for Orlando Jones, who advanced to the 4A state title game, this FSU commitment makes the move south to play for head coach Luther Campbell and the improving Red Raiders in Class 1A. This is a very talented lineman who not only leads the way up front for a running game but also continues to improve his blocking skills. In addition to what he does on the football field, he also gets it done in the classroom (3.5 GPA) as well. Saw him for the first time during his sophomore season and he was impressive back then.

2026 – Noah Sidan, PK/P, 5’11, 175, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. Over the past two years he has emerged as one of the best kicking specialists in the state – with a strong and accurate leg and has become a weapon that comes through when needed – like he did two years ago as a sophomore at Miami Norland, beating rival Miami Central twice. Last year in leading the Lions to yet another state title, he was dependable and gave the team a huge lift with his strong leg. Another student/athlete who also gets it done in the classroom, sporting a 4.0 GPA in the classroom for veteran head coach Dameon Jones and his national powerhouse.

TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/19971498/Noah-Sidan

2026 – Michael Smarts, DE, 6’5, 230, Pembroke Pines Flanagan. A year ago as a junior at Davie Nova High, very few – of anyone – knew who he was, but that changed when he started to make an impact for the Titans and eventually turned heads at camps and combines in front of recruiting analysts who discovered that he is indeed one of the best in the class. Quick, smart and instinctive are three things that thrust him into the spotlight. Like Chaminade-Madonna standout Derrick Cooper last year, he is a perfect example that you need to attend games to find prospects who have been hidden. Makes the move to play his final season for the Falcons. Also a 3.6 student in the classroom.

MIAMI – When it comes to under-the-radar football talent in south Florida, it is difficult to hide anyone, but you may be surprised to find out that one of the most productive and dominating players isn’t even on some college radar screens.

For the past two years, all Otis Guyton has done – from his defensive end position at Miami Central is overwhelm the competition, being one of the top sack leaders while dominating the competition.

At 6’0, 200 pounds, this Class of 2026 standout may not automatically turn heads, but that’s where you can throw the measurables out the window.

On Wednesday he was taking part in the FIU Line Camp as first year head coach Willie Simmons and his staff welcomed some of the top line prospects and 7-on-7 teams onto campus.

As his teammates were winning the Panthers’ 7-on-7 event, Guyton was doing what he does best – winning every drill and showcasing talent that is hard to overlook.

In a world where everyone strives to be the best, Guyton is easily the most productive defensive lineman in south Florida. He is a leader, his teammates look to him for his knowledge of the game, playmaking abilities and being the anchor for one of the best defensive fronts in south Florida – if not the entire state.

As he tested, went through drills and performed well during the camps, all eyes were on his direction with Coach Simmons, Defensive Coordinator Jovan Dewitt and defensive line coach Kenechi Udeze all watching and appreciating the type of player he is.

If his football skills and leadership on the field aren’t enough, he also opens eyes and doors with an impressive 3.8 grade point average in the classroom.

THERE WERE MORE DEFENSIVE LINEMEN WHO STOOD OUT.

While Guyton was one of the best on the field during the morning drills, he wasn’t alone. Prospects came from all over the state to showcase their skills and compete.

MIAMI – By now everyone knows that West Broward (Pembroke Pines) High will be a major force in Class 6A when the 2025 season gets started at the end of August.

Head Coach Brian McCartney and the Bobcats have already shown, during the spring and so far during the summer, that they have the skill to stay with anyone on their schedule showcasing talent during 7-on-7 events and camps.

On Wednesday at Florida International University, this program unleashed another part of their game that will certainly be something to keep an eye on.

When head coach Willie Simmons and his staff welcomed top offensive and defensive linemen to their campus – along with a 7-on-7 tournament – programs across south Florida started to get the full picture why this team will indeed be something special.

Five offensive linemen joined several other prospects for a camp that shined a spotlight on what this team will offer up front.

As several quality players took part during the morning, offensive line coach Edwin Pata had the chance to see some potential players that could land in this program in the coming years.

Here is a look at those West Broward players that turned heads:

2026 – Nathan “Nate” Dunhoft, 6’1, 260.

BOCA RATON – Two years ago after his freshman season, Ben Gula began to get noticed by colleges across the country, even earning some verbal offers.

As some impressive programs came through Cypress Bay High in Weston, Gula was someone who stood out as a prospect that had size and plenty of athleticism for a 15-year-old. He was indeed a prospect for the future.

With a g=few program changes and several players moving on, Gula had a decision to make. Stay or make a move to powerhouse Chaminade-Madonna. He chose to head to Hollywood after his sophomore year for the spring.

After spending those few months with the nationally rated Lions, he decided to head back, and it paid off last year as he becomes one of the top offensive linemen in Florida, playing tackle, guard and center.

After showcasing his many skills last Sunday at the University of Miami, this 6’5, 260-pounder was now back on the map as he more than held his own in Coral Gables.

On Wednesday afternoon as Florida Atlantic University and Florida State University combined to host a camp, Gula took center stage as coaches, players and members of the media had the chance to see him perform.

As he gets set to head to the University of Colorado this Friday for an official visit, Gula made the most of his opportunity, competing in front of FAU first year head coach Zach Kittley, FSU head coach Mike Norvell and their staffs.

“All I can do is go out and make an impression,” he said. “I have worked really hard to play every position on the line.”

With offers from schools such as Colorado, Wake Forest, North Carolina State and UCF, there is no doubt that whatever school lands this quality prospect, they will certainly elevate their program.”

The event on Wednesday was broken up into two sessions as coaches from both schools watched prospects from throughout the state – all looking for a share of the spotlight.

Other Miami-Dade and Broward prospects on hand Wednesday included:
