2025 – Austin Freud Austin Freud 6'1" | 220 lbs | OL Lemon Bay | 2025 FL , OT, 6-2, 210, Englewood Lemon Bay. Returned to the event after capturing an MVP award in the January stop in Florida. While he may be on the light side, his technique and desire to play this game gives him a big advantage. Strong and agile, he was winning more than his share of one-on-one battles after testing was completed. His football IQ is impressive – and as he matures and gains more weight and muscle, there is indeed a spot for him at the next level.

2026 – Kaholi Krau, OL/DL, 6-5, 315, Bradenton IMG Academy. Another major future star alert coming your way for this Hawaii native who found his way to IMG Academy, and as you can see from watching him go through drills and testing, this is someone who has the chance to be special. Yet another Polynesian football prospect who has size and athleticism and being around so many high-level influences with the Ascenders, this is young man that you will want to keep your eye on for the next three years. Hard to believe that he is just a freshman.

2025 – Jackson Gaskill, QB/SS, 5-10, 171, Manteo, North Carolina. One of the few who made his way from outside the state to attend this event, testing himself against Florida prospects and he did quite well. His testing numbers were very good – as was his performance during the drills. With just a handful of quarterbacks on hand, he had the chance to throw many balls – and as the college coaches on hand watched – they liked what they saw. Not only does he get it done in the classroom (4.12 GPA), but this a versatile athlete who can also lineup at safety on the defensive side of the ball.

2023 - Jeremiah Gines Jeremiah Gines 5'10" | 185 lbs | WR/TE Durant | 2023 FL , WR/CB, 5-10, 175, Plant City Durant. After playing his final season this past fall, this two-way prospect is still searching for a place to play this coming fall, and after showcasing his skills, he may have opened some eyes up at this event. Tested well, was impressive during drills and the competition. As a receiver, he runs solid patterns, has speed, and does some impressive things. His work as a kick returner should also open some doors. The coaches on hand were impressed with what he did, and if you watch his film, this is someone who does have a future.

2024 - Jordan Santana, DB, 6-0, 170, Hialeah Gardens Mater Academy. Another of the many prospects who traveled a little bit to attend this showcase and get their name out there for college coaches to see. This is a quick and talented young man who tested very well and made the most of his chances. Was always eager to step in and mix it up in the one-on-one competition. In addition, here is a young man who also gets it done in the classroom, where his 3.5 GPA will also open some doors wide open. His quickness as a safety and athleticism on special teams are additional things that colleges will have to look at when recruiting him.

2025 – Kaiel Stewart Kaiel Stewart 6'3" | 230 lbs | DL Richard Spoto | 2025 FL , DE, 6-1, 220, Riverview Spoto. One of the prospects on hand that college coaches spent time watching during his drills and one-on-one competition. This is a solid football talent who has the opportunity to be special over the next two seasons, showing glimpses of that potential throughout the day. Even when you watch his film from this past year, you see someone who has what it takes and will continue to learn and mature as a player and as a student/athlete.
