While we know it’s been a crazy year, there are some who have taken advantage of the spotlight – and certainly run with it. Today, we bring you five talented prospects who are getting it done when it counts. <strong>2021 - Sammy Edwards, QB, St. Augustine. </strong>Here is a senior who has certainly made the most of his opportunity to lead this team this season.
