Orlando Edgewater Is No Surprise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the past five years when talk of the best teams in the state of Florida popped up, one of the teams mentioned was Orlando Edgewater.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles have remained a force on a competitive landscape – with a pair of state final appearances to go along with winning seasons and the development of some impressive football talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With <strong>Cameron Duke</strong> calling the shots along with a quality staff, this is a team that gets it. Play an average schedule and nobody will notice you and there is a good chance that your season will come to an end early. But play teams that are among the best in their respective areas and you gran your share of the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 8A state runner up Apopka coming up this Friday at home, this is a program that remained unbeaten with a huge road with against Orlando Jones.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the season is far from over, the schedule now plays in their favor – with four of the last six games being played at home in College Park.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a solid senior class – led by University of Texas running back commitment <strong>Cedric “C.J.” Baxter</strong> (RB, 6-2, 215), this team has been able to make a major statement. Add in prospects such as <strong>Corey Alston Jr.</strong> (DE, 6-4, 230), <strong>Vincent&nbsp; Burse</strong> (OG, 6-2, 260),<strong> Chase Carter </strong>(QB, 6-0, 190), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='992844' first='Semaj' last='Fleming']</strong> (CB/Athlete), <strong>D'juan Gilbert</strong> (OG, 6-2, 285) and offensive lineman <strong>Cordell Lima</strong> (6-1, 210) and you have a team that is ready for anyone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior class also features game-breakers such as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='381603' first='Camp' last='Magee']</strong> (WR, 6-6, 210), <strong>Ja'Michael Montgomery</strong> (WR, 5-10, 170), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='128608' first='Michael' last='Pedro']</strong> (OT, 6-2, 250), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='118781' first='Jaylen' last='Smith']</strong> (OLB, 6-0, 180) and <strong>Keelan Smith</strong> (LB, 6-2, 215).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior class has also been valuable with players at every position making key contributions. Talent like Class of 2024 standouts <strong>Cai Bates</strong> (WR, 6-3, 170), <strong>Easton Bonnett </strong>(LS, 5-11, 170), <strong>Nathan Duquesnay</strong> (OG, 6-0, 218), <strong>Kaden Shields-Dutton</strong> (RB, 5-11, 206), <strong>Josh Alexander-Felton</strong> (DE, 6-3, 245), <strong>Aaron “A.J.” Howard</strong> (WR, 6-0, 165) and <strong>Xavier Laster</strong> (CB, 5-7, 145).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also, <strong>Kylen Meadows</strong> (CB, 5-11, 165), <strong>Solomon Tripline</strong> (LB, 6-1, 192) and <strong>Damon Troutman</strong> (OLB, 5-11, 185) are also athletes who have continued to make a difference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While we already know that the future will be bright with the Class of 2024, prospects in 2025 and 2026 are also turning heads. Sophomores such as <strong>Luke Anderton </strong>(WR, 6-3, 155), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1551148' first='Jaden' last='Brown']</strong> (S/CB, 5-8, 160), <strong>Jaden Alexander-Felton</strong> (RB, 5-9, 165), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='275813' first='Soul' last='Williams']</strong> (NG, 5-11, 255) and <strong>Ja'Torian “Duke” Mack</strong> (RB, 6-1, 180) – Class of 2026 lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='283718' first='Ben' last='Bankowitz'] </strong>(6-2, 250) are part of the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ORLANDO EDGEWATER FOOTBALL 2022</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Head Coach:</strong> Cameron Duke</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022 Record:</strong>&nbsp;4-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022 Schedule:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>THE EAGLES</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Orlando Bishop Moore, W, 22-7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RAMSEY, NEW JERSEY DON BOSCO PREP, W, 34-10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Winter Garden West Orange, W, 26-14</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Orlando Jones, W, 14-13</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/23 – APOPKA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/30 – At Apopka Wekiva</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/6 – ORLANDO TIMBER CREEK</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/14 – At Ocoee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/21 – WINTER GARDEN HORIZON</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/28 – ORLANDO BOONE</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>UPDATED <a>CLASS OF 2023 RANKINGS.</a></strong> <a></a><a href="https://prepredzone.com/florida/rankings/2023-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/florida/rankings/2023-rankings/</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CLASS OF 2024 RANKINGS.</strong> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2022/08/updated-2024-florida-rankings/">https://prepredzone.com/2022/08/updated-2024-florida-rankings/</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tracking Florida's Football Teams For 2022 -</strong> <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2022/04/tracking-florida-football-teams/">https://prepredzone.com/2022/04/tracking-florida-football-teams/</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Have prospect or team information?
