There are a lot of young talented prospects and several sleeper prospects that could start getting looks for the next level. Prep Redzone Florida will always promote everybody in hopes of them getting the opportunity of playing college football at the next level.
James Reynolds– Key West High c/o 23
6’1 215lbs
Reynolds has the chance to be the best back in the district in 2022. Last season in Key West triple-option attack he rushed for 451 yards, averaged an outstanding seven yards per carry with seven rushing touchdowns in one 100-yard rushing game. He’s an outstanding student with a 4.1 GPA!
Strengths:
- Shows good acceleration through the hole for his size
- Runs with good forward lean
- Good vision and is a load to bring down

Derrick Cochran Jr.- Gateway High c/o 24
5’8 190lbs
Cochran was a bright spot for Gateway High in 2021. He led the team in rushing with 539 yards, averaged over five yards per carry, with one rushing touchdown in three 100-yard rushing games. He was also very effective in the passing game with nine catches for 109 yards and a touchdown reception.
Strengths:
- Burst through the hole
- Will lower his shoulder and look to punish defenders
- Power runner that consistently runs through tackles
Clerff Alexander- Key West High c/o 24
5’7 160lbs
Alexander is an under-the-radar prospect out of Key West High. He looks to potentially take on a bigger role this season as a rising Junior after rushing for 182 yards, averaged over four yards per carry with three rushing touchdowns. He has 4.6 40 speed and in Key West high-powered rushing offense he could double his production easily in 2022. Doesn’t have any Hudl film but as a prospect coaches should keep an eye out on.
