As noted frequently, Prep Redzone Florida aims to provide adequate coverage on all athletes for college coaches At All Levels and readers to evaluate.

Justin Compere Justin Compere 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Miami Norland | 2026 State FL | Class of 2026 | Immokalee | @CompereJustin
- The rising freshman finished the season with 416 rushing yards with 2 touchdowns.
- Compere has plenty of time to grow and add weight for the strain of the position but his speed and explosiveness pop out when watching his film and workout videos.
- Has everything you want in a rising Division I running back: great balance, good RB vision, and a versatile athlete who’s highly competitive.
