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 forsee all of them playing college football at some level.
Haden Klees- Wakulla High
Klees is one of the more underrated Prospects in the state. He’s the third leading returning passer for class of 24 quarterbacks, last season he passed for 2327 yards, 23 touchdowns, he completed 61% of his passes. Klees can also make plays out of the pocket rushing for 107 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He’s a dual sport athlete that also excels on the baseball field.

Shaun Joshi- Hillsborough High c/o 23
6’2 190lbs
Joshi got thrust on the scene last season for Hillsborough High because of injuries to the starter. He’s a player that I think is going to make a massive jump in production and could end up being one of the top quarterbacks in Hillsborough County. Who started the last six games of the regular season and pass for 936 yards and 11 touchdowns. Joshi is an outstanding student with a 3.97 GPA and a 1540 SAT!
Strengths:
- Has a live arm
- Does a good job getting beyond his first read
- Flashes accuracy on second/third level throws
- Good anticipation
