<p>With the 2022 season now under way with kickoff classics this week and the official start next week, several football players will have the chance to step up and grab the spotlight.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As we know, the Class of 2023 is fully on the map – with standouts making their commitments to colleges – the underclassmen are also starting to get some of that much-needed exposure.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Like always in the state of Florida there are elite football players who get exposure as early as the ninth grade – and that will never stop.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The receiver position has always been a place where college coaches from all over the nation look at when recruiting the Sunshine State – and the Class of 2024 is certainly no exception.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is talent everywhere in this class, with more emerging every day.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As you know, we update often and continue to spotlight prospects in all classes to ensure that we do not miss anyone. Just let us know if there are players missing or who should be placed at another school. Our object is always to get it right.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As college coaches nationally view our rankings and lists, we want to make it where these colleges and universities have the right information.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Among the Class of 2024 are Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna teammates <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404031' first='Jeremiah' last='Smith']</strong> (6-3, 185) and versatile <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404032' first='Joshisa' last='Trader']</strong> (6-2, 175, who may be as good as you get nationally. It isn't often that the two best at any positions across the country are from the same city let alone being on the same team.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This class is indeed loaded – with prospects such <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404038' first='James' last='Randle']</strong> (6-0, 175, Daytona Beach Mainland), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404076' first='Bredell' last='Richardson']</strong> (6-1, 185, Tampa Carrollwood Day), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404080' first='Ric'Darious' last='“Day-Day” Farmer']</strong> (5-11, 165, Cocoa) and Tampa Carrollwood day standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404083' first='Zycari' last='Lewis']</strong> (5-10, 160).</p>

Washington), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404537' first='Lawson' last='Messer']</strong> (6-1, 200, Lynn Haven Mosley) and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404558' first='Edward' last='Louis']</strong> (5-9, 172, Fort Lauderdale Dillard) all have a chance to enhance their stock during the year.</p>

<p>The receiver position in this class is indeed talented and deep.

<p>Tight ends are also will be a major factor in the class – with Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333146' first='Colton' last='Heinrich']</strong> (6-4, 225) leading the way.</p>
