Watch him perform and you are impressed with a motor that never stops – along with his knowledge of the game and athleticism to make plays.
No matter if he is rushing the passers or stopping the run, there is no getting away from the fact that this young man is very special, and is looking forward to a big season.

<strong>VERSATILE DEFENSIVE ENDS ARE EVERYWHERE IN THE SENIOR CLASS</strong>
As Koht is certainly one of the premier defensive end prospects for the Class of 2021, Florida also has some other impressive and versatile prospects as well. Check out these five athletes:
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32642" first="Shambre" last="Jackson"], 6-6, 260 Orlando Boone. </strong>Make no mistake about this gifted football player – he is the real deal – and as you watch him dominate on the field, you see a rather large prospect who can run, is agile enough to play just about anywhere on the field and will not only dictate the game from the defensive side – where he is impossible to block – but also as a tight end, who is truly a man competing amongst boys. A superb talent who will be much the same way at the next level. He is indeed a beast of a player.

<strong>Kwaisi Crudup, 6-2, 230, St. Cloud. </strong>Not the biggest, strongest or most athletic football player on the field, but this is a worker. Someone who has a motor, works very hard and will spark the team with a key play or showcase his leadership. Solid talent that has a motor that never stops. He is one of those young men who plays this game with plenty of passion.

<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32646" first="Bryce" last="Langston"], 6-3, 250, Ocala Vanguard.</strong> Trying to block this impressive talent is truly impossible. He is big, strong, athletic and will catch you in the backfield. Before the ball is snapped on any given play, you had better account for this quality football player because he will stop you. Double team him all night long and he will still find a way to be a factor in the game. Will be a dominating collegiate player as well.

<strong>Tristan Marois, 6-6, 225, Clearwater Academy International.</strong> Yet another tall and agile football player who is such a great athlete, all you need to do is put him on the edge and let him go all day. His height and wingspan certainly add to this gifted prospect who follows up plays as well as anyone. Keep in mind, he is going to get bigger and stronger and still be able to keep a lot of that foot speed and instinctive play. Big time player!

<strong>Joey Schmidt, North Palm Beach Benjamin</strong>. Perhaps one of the biggest secrets in Florida, his ability to get off the ball quickly and make plays, his speed, strength and overall athleticism makes him one of these football players you had better learn about before you play this team. He can play on both sides of the ball as well as being a force on special teams. Truly a talent that a lot of colleges need to watch – as soon as this season gets started!
