Specialists Get In One Last Exposure Event

With the beginning of the 2021 high school season getting started this week throughout Florida, Sunday was the final tune-up for some of the top kickers and punters in the region. As coach <strong>Brian Jackson</strong> and his staff hosted a <strong><em>National Kicking Rankings</em></strong> event in Davenport, more prospects emerged and learned from the showcase. With special teams a major plus in any program, Coach Jackson and his staff made sure that everyone who attended – not only received additional exposure, but it was also about competition – right in time for the 2021 season. With so many special teams showcases going on throughout the Sunshine State this past spring and summer, Coach Jackson and <strong>Coach Jeff Garner</strong> (long snapping director and recruiting director) welcomed some quality performers, who made the best of the last Sunday before the season to get some much-needed exposure. When the day ended and the competition reached an amazing level, several standouts were awarded for their hard work. Among the top performers on this day: Among the field goal competition winners included Class of 2022 standout <strong>Zachary Alvarez</strong> from Miami Monsignor Pace and Jacksonville Bishop Kenny Class of 2023 versatile standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="128844" first="Ethan" last="Eddins"]</strong>. Alvarez was also among the top performers in the kickoff competition. He was joined by Steinbrenner (Lutz) Class of 2023 rising star <strong>Collin Young</strong>. There was plenty of competition for the punters – and Eddins and versatile (QB) Class of 2022 standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50181" first="Griffin" last="Wiltse"]</strong> from Steinbrenner were among the best on this day. <strong>LONG SNAPPERS STEP UP</strong> There were several standouts who have been at several events this off-season and have made an impact – with Class of 2023 prospect <strong>Quillan Jimemez </strong>from Tampa Sickles and Apopka Class of 2022 prospect <strong>Jonah Mitchell </strong>were at the top. Mitchell is also an OL/DL for the Blue Darters. <strong> </strong> <strong>TRACKING FLORIDA: Teams Look At 2021 Season. </strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2021/03/tracking-florida-teams-look-at-2021-season/">https://prepredzone.com/2021/03/tracking-florida-teams-look-at-2021-season/</a> <strong><em>You Can Contact [player_tooltip player_id="111610" first="Larry" last="Blustein"] with prospect or team information at: Floridakids1@aol.com.
