Prep Redzone Prospect Showcase A Success

It was said in the weeks leading up to this past Sunday's <strong><em>Prep Redzone Showcase</em></strong>, there was a lot of talk about how impressive this event would be. Nobody left disappointed. With a quality group on hand at the Paradise Sports Complex in Naples, prospects came from everywhere in Florida – to further establish themselves as well as jump on to the radar screen. With college coaches on hand along with people who have years of experience and plenty of college relationships, the order on this Sunday was to give the student athletes a forum and a chance to be recognized, and they were not disappointed. From Jacksonville, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando and in cities and towns throughout the Sunshine State, it was an event that taught, exposed and highlighted talent in every class. It was a day to get student/athletes plenty of reps – while parents and supporters came out to take photos and videos and take in the showcase experience. <strong>COLLEGE COACHING IS HUGE</strong> The college coaches truly made the event special – with <strong>Patrick Colligan, Jarvis McGarrah, John Klacik</strong> and <strong>Greg Hayes</strong> from Ave Maria – and <strong>Alex Gray, Jerome Smith, Greg Cielec</strong> and <strong>Marquis Smith</strong> from St. Thomas University – as well as Keiser University linebacker coach <strong>Nick Vagnone</strong> among others.<a href="https://avemariagyrenes.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/patrick-colligan/621"> </a> High school coaches also rolled up their sleeves to make the event special. <strong>MAKING A SUNDAY SACRIFICE</strong> As there are so many events this time of year, knowing which ones give you the best opportunity to get on the map take research and time. Events that roll out the red carpet in the spring, but disappear the rest of the year cannot be good for recruiting. What we do is give recruits a major forum on the website and on social media. <strong><em>We will be spotlighting many of these prospects all week long, giving everyone a chance to shine!</em></strong> Here are some more of the student/athletes who attended the Naples showcase: <strong>2023</strong> Logan Barnhill, DB, Melbourne Deegan Blasko, OL, Maitland Orangewood Christian [player_tooltip player_id="139289" first="Jayden" last="Bradford"], DB, Kissimmee Osceola Tocarrum Brown, RB, Arcadia Desoto [player_tooltip player_id="275859" first="Justin" last="Coles"], LB, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas Jahsiah Cooper, OL, Orange City University Dominic Coroscio, RB, Fort Lauderdale Archbishop McCarthy Nathan Eckhardt, OL, Estero Kevin Everhart, RB, Bradenton Lakewood Ranch [player_tooltip player_id="128460" first="Jeremiah" last="Gines"], WR, Plant City Durant [player_tooltip player_id="301854" first="Luke" last="Gisclair"], QB, Tampa Plant Brock Goodwin, DL, Sarasota Riverview Elijah Drake-Jackson, DB, Jacksonville Westside Jaizaih Lugo, LB, Miami Northwestern Nikesha King, DB, Kissimmee Osceola Jaquan May, WR, Deltona Pine Ridge Maurice McClain, Jr., DL, LaBelle James McNamee, DL, Sarasota Devin Pein, DE, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas Victor Pino, OL, Miami Palmetto Andres Quiroz, DL, Miami Coral Reef Yasnier Rojas, LB, Vero Beach Devin Simmons, WR, Palm  Beach Gardens Kai Tamas, RB, Fort Myers Riverdale Connor Whaley, QB, Tucker, Georgia <strong>2024</strong> William Brockmeier, LB, Naples Gulf Coast Luke Ghannam, DB/Athlete, Estero [player_tooltip player_id="310721" first="Trenton" last="Hayes"], OL, Brooksville Nature Coast Tech Zailin Jackson, RB, Moore Haven Tayshaun Jamison, RB, Clearwater Torra “TJ” Kelly, DB, Deerfield Beach Edward Nolan, OL, Fort Myers Bishop Verot David “Tank” Pein, DL, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas Fabian Rodriguez, QB, Doral Academy Brett Rossano, OL, Naples First Baptist Hunter Zirkle, DL, Arcadia Desoto <strong>2025</strong> Jason Barket, QB, Miami Westminster Christian [player_tooltip player_id="163001" first="Niko" last="Boyce"], QB, Naples Jake Boydston, OL, Sarasota Cardinal Mooney James Brockmeier, DB, Naples Gulf Coast Bo Brooke, WR, Fort Myers Bishop Verot Jarquez Carter, DL, Newberry Dominick Davis, WR, Naples First Baptist [player_tooltip player_id="275798" first="Carl" last="Davison"] II, LB, Riverview Bell Creek Academy [player_tooltip player_id="221454" first="Davion" last="Dixon"], DL, Miami Belen Jesuit Carson Floyd, LB, Naples St. John Neumann Jarrett Gallison, LB, Venice Chase Garcia, QB, Bonita Springs Dean Gee, DL, Sumner Phillip Jackson, DL.
