2023 DE Prospects Are Impressive

As we continue to dissect the Class of 2023, there are some positions that will bring it strong in 2021. So far, we have given you several football players in this class – many with offers and serious looks during this pandemic layoff. One of the positions we have paid plenty attention to are the defensive ends. No matter where it is across the state of Florida, this is a position that has a number of elite prospects, who are versatile and athletic. Today, many are going through spring and soon – will find their way to summer camps across the state and around the country. We bring you five more gifted Top 100 defensive ends who have already started to turn heads – and will continue doing so over the next year. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128037" first="Justin" last="Benton"], DE, 6-3, 245, Bradenton IMG Academy. </strong>This is one of those gifted prospects who has shown – already this spring – that he is indeed one of the best in his class. This is a quick, strong, agile and very athletic football talent that is ready to make an impact this coming season. With a strong summer, you can guarantee that he will be in the mix in the fall.<strong>  </strong> <strong>TAPE:</strong> <strong> </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12750232/Justin-Benton">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12750232/Justin-Benton</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128062" first="Sayvion" last="Blount"], DE, 6-3, 230, Jacksonville Sandalwood. </strong>From the first time we watched this impressive two-way (TE) athlete perform, there was never a question. His first step overwhelms the offensive linemen – and his athleticism and passion for the game has been a huge advantage. Has the size to play on either side of the ball, and if you watch him play, you can see that this is indeed another level prospect who still has two full years to mature and improve. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13269021/Sayvion-Blount">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13269021/Sayvion-Blount</a> <strong>Lamont Green, Jr., DE, 6-4, 210, Miami Gulliver Prep. </strong>They say that the “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” – and watching this impressive prospect play, there are things that he does that spark the memory of his father, who was a gifted linebacker at Miami Southridge and FSU. Lamont Jr. is a worker, and that has gotten him to where he is today. As he continues to learn and pick up more about the game, he still has two years to even get better. Already committed to attend FSU, it will be fun to watch him perform for the Raiders. <strong>TAPE:</strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12943601/Lamont-Green-Jr"> https://www.hudl.com/profile/12943601/Lamont-Green-Jr</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128058" first="Keon" last="Keeley"], DE, 6-6, 230, Tampa Berkeley Prep. </strong>The more you watch this impressive talent play, there is so much more to like about his game. This is someone plays fast. Whether it’s at the end or as an outside linebacker, this is a true talent, who has worked extremely hard to put himself in this position. Already getting plenty of interest from colleges across the country, this game-changer is only going to get better and understand the game much, much more. Keep an eye on his progress over the next two years! <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12955960/Keon-Keeley">https://www.hudl.com/profile/12955960/Keon-Keeley</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128038" first="Damon" last="Wilson"], DE, 6-4, 230, Venice. </strong>Having the chance to watch this quality football talent live three times this past season, there was never a question about his future. This is a talented prospect who continues to improve, get bigger and work harder to make himself an elite prospect, which he has already done. Looking at him play, you are impressed with his talent and size, but also with the way he plays this game and sets an example – even at such a young age. Another emerging big-time performer, who colleges already love. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10681486/Damon-Wilson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10681486/Damon-Wilson</a><strong> </strong> <strong>COMPLETE CLASS OF 2023 LIST</strong>. <em><strong>You Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Floridakids1@aol.com.
