5 Rising Prospects To Watch In 2020

As more and more football programs throughout the state of Florida are getting started, the need to watch some of the top performers will be essential. <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-51368" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/09/UndertheRadar-Logo-7-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /> What we continue to do here at <strong><em>Prep Redzone Florida</em></strong> is to make sure that every area of this state and every prospect is recognized. Because Florida is so big and there are big time athletes in every direction, there is a need to make sure that no matter where it is – Key West to Pensacola – if they are getting it done, they will certainly be recognized and promoted. Our main objective when we began was to ensure that we would NOT just watch film, follow athletes and coaches on social media and claim that we are a resource. We wanted to make sure that every prospect would have a spotlight that hundreds and hundreds of college coaches would see and ensure that they were more than a tweet or a Facebook post. Today, we bring you five more football players from across the state who are certainly on the rise and worth checking out. We hope that what we put out every day is an enhancement to our student/athletes, and by the overwhelming response we have gotten in just two months, mission is being accomplished every day. <strong>2021 – Gabe Averitt, OL/DL, Lakeland Christian.</strong> On a team that has more than its share of talent, here is a quality line prospect who will get after you – like he has so far this season. No matter where he lines up – on either side of the ball, you will get the best out of this impressive football player. This is the kind of talent that college coaches love. He makes your job a lot easier. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9752458/Gabe-Averitt">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9752458/Gabe-Averitt</a> <strong>2022 – Carter French, WR, Tampa Jesuit.</strong> So far this season, here is a talented prospect who has certainly done his part to lift the offense – and that is something this program will need this year as new faces will create competition and elevate a program that figures to be in the mix once again in 2020 in 5A. His big plays have been his calling card so far. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11415487/Carter-French">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11415487/Carter-French</a> <strong>2021 – [player_tooltip player_id="32804" first="Oronde" last="Gadsden II"], WR, Plantation American Heritage.</strong> The son of a former NFL standout, here is a gifted young man who has the size, knowledge of the game and plenty of ability. While he’s been on the radar over the past year, look for him to elevate his play and make a major contribution to a team that has talent, but new faces and first year decision makers in place. Committed to Syracuse earlier this week. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/8333922/Oronde-Gadsden-II">https://www.hudl.com/profile/8333922/Oronde-Gadsden-II</a> <strong>2021 – [player_tooltip player_id="32786" first="Deandre" last="McCray"], WR, Tallahassee North</strong> <strong>Florida Christian.</strong> This Georgia Southern commit hit the ground running this season – much like many felt he would. Solid football player who is a true game-breaker, like he is already showing this season. No matter if it’s on offense, where his talents will get him into the endzone or on defense, a place where his skills are amazing and his athleticism sets him apart from the rest. As a kick returner, he ignites his team and puts them in great position – often. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9361673/Deandrae-McCray">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9361673/Deandrae-McCray</a> <strong>2022 – [player_tooltip player_id="50206" first="Eric" last="Weatherly"], RB/Slot, Jacksonville Bartram Trail.</strong> Yet another versatile junior for a program that has a chance to do some special things. Has already impacted this talented program after a stellar sophomore season. As a running back, he sees the hole and darts through it and has the vision, speed and instincts to finish things off. Will be a major plus for this team in 2020 as they look to extend the year even further than 2019. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/2693304/Eric-Weatherly">https://www.hudl.com/profile/2693304/Eric-Weatherly</a> <strong><em>You Can Contact Larry Blustein with prospect or team information at: <a href="mailto:Foridakids1@aol.com">Foridakids1@aol.com</a>.
