Continue ReadingThere was a time when many asked why more Orlando teams make it into the mix for a state title. They aren’t asking that question anymore.
With the recent appearance of Orlando Edgewater, Orlando Jones and Dr. Phillips in the mix for state titles, this is now a place where football is being played at a high level.
If you add in the suburb areas – such as Apopka, Sanford Seminole and Kissimmee Osceola, the region is making a statement, with more talent moving into the area every year.
Look at places such as Lake Minneola and Wekiva, who have also been adding to what central Florida has to offer on he gridiron.
Today, we will bring you five Orlando prospects to watch for in the Class of 2022:
2022 – Jeremiah Connelly Jeremiah Connelly WR Orlando Edgewater | 2022 FL , Athlete, Orlando Edgewater. Ask Coach Cameron Duke about this young man and he will go on all day. One of the major reasons why this team is at the level they are. He is versatile enough to play anywhere on the field – and make an impact doing it. Speed, very athletic and football smart. Will be a major asset in 2021 as the program looks to get back to the state finals for the third consecutive year.

2022 – Devin Hill Devin Hill OL Orlando Dr. Phillips | 2022 FL , OG, Orlando Dr. Phillips. Here is another football talent that if he stays healthy and continues to progress the way he has the first two years, he will be very special. Super athletic, strong and aggressive. The kind of big man you love to have up front – making things happen. As he continues to grow and mature, this is someone you watch and see how much more he learns about the position – and of course – himself as a player. This is a program that churns out young men like this – a solid combination of everything good and positive.

2022 – Chandler “CJ” Smith, WR, Orlando Bishop Moore. Another gifted football player who runs, catches and gives the Hornets someone special to get the ball to when they need something to happen. He has size, runs well and catches the ball in traffic. Likes to hand out some punishment of his own with a big frame like he has. Is going to be someone that will blow up over the next few months – as Covid dictates. He gets in space and does really well against aggressive and quick defensive backs. Will be fun to watch him this coming year.

2022 – Casey St. John, QB, Orlando Boone. There is no getting around the fact that this quality prospect has it all. Top-flight football player who has the size, accuracy, skill level and leadership that it takes to make it to the next level. The numbers that he has put up are very impressive – but it’s what he brings to the table as superior athlete and football talent that makes him so special.

2022 – Antonio Wilson Antonio Wilson OL Orlando Jones | 2022 FL , LT, Orlando Jones. What a monster this young man is up front on offense, clearing the way for a running game – and providing pass blocking, even when the quarterback is on the move. Defensively, he’s the perfect space-eater in the middle and forces a lot of plays away from him – giving other athletes the opportunity to make plays. He is a terror for this program, and will continue to be the force up front – at 6-5, 310!
