Owen Owens, LB- Plant High c/o 23
6’2 215lbs
Owens is a player that I really like out of Plant High, and who was part of the one of the best defenses in the Tampa Bay area. He’s an under the radar player and finished the season with 53 tackles, three tackles for loss, and 2 sacks. He was selected to play in the Hillsborough County All-Star Game. Versatile player that can play stand up or put his hand in the dirt, shows intelligence (1360 SAT) to dissect plays quickly, shows good balance and feet to sift through traffic and get to the football. Picked up an offer from Wittenberg University this month.
Declan McAdams, DL/OL- Sickles High c/o 23
6’1 220lbs
McAdams was a two-way starter for Sickles High, he was selected to the Hillsborough County All-Star Game and played on both sides of the ball. On defense he finished with 29 tackles and two sacks. He’s an intriguing player that flashes good quickness out of his stance, show some closing speed getting to the quarterback, possesses good hands to shed blocks. Coaches need to check him out, he can definitely play at some level in college.
Vincent Ketchup Vincent Ketchup 5'11" | 180 lbs | WR Gibsonton East Bay | 2023 FL , WR/ATH- East Bay High c/o 23
5’11 180lbs
Ketchup was one of the more dynamic players in the Tampa Bay area this season. He was a major part in helping East Bay go 10-2 this season and reach the second round of the state playoffs. His versatility is evident and he plays all over the field. He was second on the team in rushing with 756 yards, average than outstanding 9.9 yards per carry with eight rushing touchdowns. He was also second on the team and receiving with 17 receptions for $273 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and to top it off he chipped in on defense and was second on the team with 51 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two ints. He was also selected to play in the Hillsborough County All-Star Game and his stock is rising picking up several small school offers this month.
Devin Collado, ATH- Robinson High c/o 23
5’9 173lbs
Collado is another versatile athlete out of Tampa Bay area. He can play multiple positions at the next level. On offense he was third on the team with 207 yards rushing and two touchdowns, he also registered 18 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns through the air, and led the the team in tackles with 113! He also chipped in with an interception, to force fumbles and two blocked punts. Collado has a compact frame, shows good vision and patience at the running back position, he played linebacker in high school, but shows the quickness and athleticism to be able to play safety at the next level. He’s also a very good open field tackler.
