TOP FLORIDA PERFORMERS – Week 5

What has now become one of the most exciting parts of any football week – the accolades. The players who step up and make all that hard work pay off during a season where things continue to change. Because many of these young men have been hidden from colleges and universities because of Covid and other related things. While we promote prospects on a daily basis here at <strong><em>Prep Redzone Florida</em></strong>, what we also do is highlight the top performers each week during the football season. By spotlighting these prospects weekly, college coaches have an opportunity to watch what these impressive athletes to from week to week. Here are some head-turners from this week: Wiregrass Ranch QB <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="50138" first="Rocco" last="Becht"]</strong> completed 12 passes for 312 yards and 5 touchdowns.
