Cepeda doesn't have any MaxPreps stats, but on film he looks like a player that could really make a move to be one of the better linebackers in South Florida this season. He's a downhill player that plays with physicality and possesses good upper body strength to post out blockers and shed to get to the football, plays downhill and shows good acceleration and quickness in short areas, and does a nice job working through traffic to get to the ball carrier. Versatile and can line up in multiple positions on defense.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E20"><strong><em>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15408405/Raul-Cepeda">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15408405/Raul-Cepeda</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E28"><strong><em><br></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E30"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='350022' first='Jayden' last='Taylor'], DB- Raines High c/o 24</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E32"><strong><em>5'10 187lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E34"><strong><em>Taylor was a big part of a stout Vikings defense that helped Raines High go 9-3 last season and advance to the regional finals of the state playoffs.

All around safety who's good against the run or in coverage, shows the speed and man coverage ability to play in the slot, has instincts at the break on the ball and does a good job tracking the ball in the air. Against the run he's aggressive and is a very good open field tackler, and plays with sideline to sideline range. He's also a good student with a 3.2 GPA. He's getting some interest from schools like Penn and Robert Morris University.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E36"><strong><em>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15940496/Jayden-Taylor">https://www.hudl.com/profile/15940496/Jayden-Taylor</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E41"><strong><em><br></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E43"><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1122731' first='Elian' last='Godin'], DB- Forest High c/o 24</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E45"><strong><em>6'2 175lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p id="E47"><strong><em>Godin had a solid season in 2022 for Forest High</em></strong> <strong><em>located in Ocala, Florida.
