Josh Wiles, OLB/DE- Lake Brantley
6’3 200lbs
Wiles is it nice outside linebacker Prospect for Lake Brantley High, last season he finished with 31 tackles, three sacks, and two caused fumbles. Wiles plays with his hand in the dirt and can stand up at outside linebacker, he shows good burst and acceleration off the snap and does a good job getting skinny rushing the passer. He shows the ability to get his hands inside and uses a variety of moves to get off blocks, he does a good job sifting through traffic/ staying on his feet and getting to the ball. Plays with a high-motor. Wiles is also a good student with a 3.5 GPA. I believe Wiles is in line for a big season.

Gannon Stoner, OLB- Lake Mary
6’3 200lbs
Stoner is another outside linebacker prospect for Lake Mary that had 71 tackles, 9 TFL, and 2 caused fumbles last season. Stoner does a really good job setting the edge and showing ability to fight/rip off blocks and get to the ball. Stoner is a smart player and does a good job trusting his eyes and not getting caught out of position, he has a lot of length and knows how to use it to his advantage. Stoner is an exceptional student that has a 4.42 GPA!

JJ Gable, MLB- Atlantic Coast High
6’0 225lbs
Cable is a really nice in the box linebacker that had a very good season with 95 tackles and three sacks. He shows very good burst and acceleration closing to the football, he’s very active and keeps his feet moving constantly attacking downhill, he’s a very effective blitzer and shows nice ability and timing with his blitzes, constantly puts himself in the right position to make plays, and is a good open field tackler, I really like Gable as a player and he should be getting more attention from colleges, he also is a good student with a 3.5 GPA.

Gavin Paul, MLB- Tampa Catholic
6’1 230lbs
Paul had a very good season for Tampa Catholic last year with 64 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and one caused fumble. Paul has prototype linebacker measurables, and is very versatile showing the ability to line up inside or stand up on the edge, he has very good lateral quickness, closing burst, and is thumper hitting ball carriers. He is very good using his hands and showing the ability to fight off blocks/keep his feet and get to the ball, he’s a smart player that dissects plays very quickly. His recruiting is starting to heat up, he was offered by Florida Atlantic in January, I believe he’ll be one of the best linebacker prospects coming out of Tampa this season.
