If you can play – you are on the football field making things happen at the varsity level. It hasn’t always been that way, but with the level of play these young men are competing at in youth leagues statewide, it is a no brainer.
Freshmen have been influencing teams from Key West to Pensacola and everywhere in between for several years now, and being a three- or four-year varsity starter is no longer unusual.
Because we have the chance to see so many football players statewide at games, practices, camps, combines and 7-on-7 events, it is easier to bring these standouts into the spotlight. While watching film and listening to others is a great resource, there is no substitute for seeing players live.
Today we travel across Florida and shine the spotlight on some impressive and fast-rising 2026 prospects.
