5 Top 100 Class of 2022 Difference Makers

When we released our <strong><em>Updated Class of 2022 Top 100 </em></strong>plus prospects for the 2021 season, it was met with plenty of enthusiasm. The athletes, who represent the Sunshine State every year are always among the best in the country – and this class is no different. Getting the opportunity to watch these young men live is a huge game-changer when evaluating. From offensive standouts to defensive prospects and special teams’ performers, this class is loaded with football talent that has started to catch up on that exposure missed because of the pandemic. Today, we share with you five more football players who are not only among the best in Florida, but certainly regarded as the best in the country: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50025" first="Tre" last="Donaldson"], S, 6-2, 185, Tallahassee Florida High. </strong>This two-sport (basketball point guard) athlete has already shown that he is one of the best to play the position in the nation. A solid football player, who has plenty of athletic ability, size and plays this game with passion. Is certainly a target that every college wants – and his Under Armour Miami appearance proved that he will be something very special once again in 2021. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11038143/Tre-Donaldson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11038143/Tre-Donaldson</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49988" first="Kenyatta" last="Jackson"], DE, 6-4, 225, Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. </strong>As colleges across the country continue to try and get this young man on campus – all he does is dominate and continue to learn. Cat-quick first step and plenty of skill and speed, this is a football player who has continued to make major strides – and is easily one of the nation’s elite prospects. One of the toughest defensive end talents to block off the edge – this is someone who is college ready because he is smart, loves the game and picks up new things all the time. What ever school gets this gifted prospect on campus will win all the way around. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11477139/Kenyatta-Jackson-Jr">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11477139/Kenyatta-Jackson-Jr</a><strong> </strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50014" first="Erriyon" last="Knighton"], WR, 6-0, 160, Tampa Hillsborough. </strong>In a state loaded with major difference makers, here is one who is truly flying under the radar. While he has been gaining recognition this off-season as a pass catcher who can do it all – his impressive speed (100m:10.5 200m: 21.1 400m:47.5) and quickness enhances his skill. For someone with all those gifts, would it surprise you that he throws his body into defensive backs to help spring a teammate. This is one of those prospects that you need to go back and do your homework. He is a solid talent who is always the solution. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10080814/Erriyon-Knighton">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10080814/Erriyon-Knighton</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="49997" first="Azareyha" last="Thomas"], CB, 6-3, 175, Niceville. </strong>Because he plays football and attends high school in the Florida Panhandle – outside of Pensacola – getting the spotlight needed to get colleges looking in his direction was tough at first, but when fellow players and coaches started to watch this impressive talent perform, it was a formality. As he showed at the Miami Under Armour Combine, this is truly a football player who brings it all to the table. Athletic, quick and has plenty of size. Every college is now firmly watching him whenever they get the updated film. His best years are still ahead – and that will show you how gifted he will be. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11799979/Azareyeh-Thomas">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11799979/Azareyeh-Thomas</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50000" first="Tony" last="Livingston"], TE, 6-6, 225, Tampa Carrollwood Day. </strong>At 6-foot-6 and growing all the time, this is someone who is more than a football and basketball player. He is a versatile difference maker who can catch the ball and run. He is the ultimate target who will not shy away from contact. In fact, he is getting stronger all the time – and as he gets bigger – you will see college coaches also entertaining the defensive end position, which is natural. But if you want production, you keep him on offense and watch him dominate the competition. Colleges will utilize his frame, athletic ability and knack of making things look easy – especially when you have a frame like that. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11642656/Tony-Livingston">https://www.hudl.com/profile/11642656/Tony-Livingston</a> <strong>CHECK OUT THE UPDATED 2022 TOP 100 PLUS. </strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/02/updated-2022-florida-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/02/updated-2022-florida-rankings/</a><strong> </strong> <strong>Y<em>ou Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Foridakids1@aol.com.
