Prep Redzone Florida will always promote everybody in hopes of them getting the opportunity of playing college football at the next level.
Jeremy Patterson, DE- Chamberlain High
6’3 225lbs
Patterson is a pass-rusher that I spotlighted at the beginning of the Season that I thought would play very well in 2021. He did not disappoint registering 77 tackles,10.5 sacks, one forced fumble and 25 tackles for loss! He is a high-effort player that never stops pursuing the football, make a lot of plays hustling down field, long-limbed player that show some pass rush ability and plays with good balance and quickness.

CJ Sheets, DE- Lake Mary High
6’2 215lbs
Sheets has been a solid contributor for the 10-1 Lake Mary High. He’s a key contributor for one of the best defenses in the state registering 24 tackles, four tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries. He has a quick first step and plays with a lot of physicality and aggressiveness, does an outstanding job using his hands to fight off blocks. He’s outstanding versus the run; he has enough athleticism and speed to convert to linebacker at the next level. Very underrated prospect.

Jairon Dorsey, DB- Wharton High
6’0 175lbs
Dorsey is another under the radar athlete that could play any of the defensive backfield positions. He’s part of a stingy defense that’s only given up 93 points this season. He has 13 tackles and four pass defenses this season. He’s very athletic and shows a lot of speed and closing burst, he’s a corner that loves contact and will get his hands on receivers and be physical, he doesn’t have a problem helping in run support.

Javonte Francois, DB- Stranahan High
6’1 203lbs
France wall has been an outstanding player for Stranahan High this season. He has 52 tackles, six tackles for loss, two ints, and 23 passes defensed! Has a very good nose for the ball which is evident by the 23 passes he’s defense this season. Has the size you’re looking for at corner. Shows nice leaping ability and soft hands, can play press coverage, can also play centerfield safety and shows a lot of range, shows physicality at corner jamming receivers and can flip his hips and run with just about anybody.
