These players are all talented and have college football level ability. Some of these players have a few offers and with the help of big senior seasons I can foresee all of them playing college football at some level.
Ivan Brown, RB- Osceola High c/o 23
5’11 195lbs
Brown is a back coaches need to take notice of in 2022. The Osceola High product rushed last season for 679 yards, averaged seven yards per carry and 10 touchdowns on the ground. He also had a 200-yard rushing game. He’s a three-down back that can be used in the passing game when needed registering nine catches for 66 yards. Physical back that can punish tacklers, runs behind his pads with good forward lean, also shows some speed in the open field to take it to the house.
Nathan Carter, RB- Osceola High c/o 24
5’9 170lbs
Carter forms a big-time one-two punch with Brown at Osceola, he was the team’s leading rusher last year with 713 yards, he averaged an outstanding 7.5 yards per carry with three rushing touchdowns. He’s another player that can be used in the passing game registering six catches for 75 yards and a receiving touchdown. Carter is shifty through the hole and shows good burst and acceleration to get to the second level, natural receiver, runs bigger than his size and breaks most arm tackles, gets to top speed quickly and has the ability to take it to the house at any moment. Under-the-radar player that coaches need to check out this spring.

Tyler Smith, WR- Sunlake High c/o 23
5’10 160lbs
Smith was a productive receiver for Sunlake High last season registering 23 catches for 390 yards, averaged 17 yards per catch with four touchdowns and a long reception of 71 yards. He’s a prospect on the rise and has been picking up interest from schools this offseason. Smith is a sneaky fast player that does a good job tracking the ball in the air and showing sure hands, does a good job setting up his routes and getting in and out of his breaks to create separation. Shows the quickness to eat up cushion on defensive backs and is a high IQ (3.9 GPA) player with good knowledge/understanding of how to run routes.

Dylan Lolley, TE- Cypress Creek High c/o 23
6’3 225lbs
Lolley is a prospect that’s on the rise and is in line to have a huge season in 2022. Last season he finished with 28 catches for 329 yards and a touchdown. He was a First-Team SAC selection and a terrific student with a 4.3 GPA. He moves very well for a player his size and is very athletic for a tight end, shows the ability to go up and snatch the ball out of the air, flashes vertical speed that can threatened safeties, natural hands catcher and can play in-line or split out wide. Tight end prospects are hard to come by and he is a good one. Starting to pick up the interest from schools like USF this offseason.
