Terrence Jackson- Countryside High
6’1 160lbs
Jackson is a playmaker out of Clearwater Countryside High that last season produced when called upon. He registered 24 catches for 433 yards, averaged over 18 yards per catch with three touchdowns. He’s a good prospect from Pinellas County. Coaches need to check him out this spring.
Strengths:
- Highly versatile with good after the catch ability

- Natural hands
- Eats through cushion quickly

Kendall Jones- Bloomingdale High
6’2 175lbs
Jones is a wide receiver out of Bloomingdale High that could end up being one of the best overall players in the Tampa Bay area in 2022. Last season he burst on the scene registering 33 catches for 450 yards and 6 touchdowns. He picked up his first D1 offer from University of Rhode Island in January. He gets it done in the classroom as well with a 3.2 GPA.
Strengths:
- Does a good job setting up his routes
- Good lateral agility and uses subtle hesitations to create separation
- Big catch radius
- Deep threat
Matthew Connally- Newsome High
5’11 170lbs
When you turn on the tape and watch Connally’s film you immediately see how electric he is with the ball in his hands. He’s one of the most underrated prospects in the entire Tampa Bay area. He has everything you’re looking for in a prospect for the next level. He’s a do-it-all player for Newsome High and last season he rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns, registered 11 catches for 394 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air, and is an outstanding kick returner the average 35 yards per return.
Strengths:
- Outstanding breakaway speed
- Good lateral agility, vision and acceleration
- Elusiveness and big-time playmaker

Malachi Russell- Central High
5’8 165lbs
On a team that went through a lot of struggles last year Russell was a player that really showed up and showed some ability to make plays and be a player that could play at the next level. He was a first-team all-county selection. He finished the season with 25 catches for 262 yards and a touchdown. I expect his production to double this season under the new coaching staff at Brooksville Central. In March he received his first small-school offer from Finlandia University.
Strengths:
- Crafty route runner
- does a good job tracking the ball in the air
- showing the ability to adjust his body and make tough catches.
