Continue ReadingFlorida has long been a hotbed for high school football talent. The Sunshine State annually produces some of the nation’s top players. Florida athletes are known for their speed, agility, and raw athleticism, these athletes have made a name for themselves and caught the attention of coaches and scouts. I wanted to go in-depth about some guys whose stock is trending upwards. These prospects have been impressing so far this season.
These players are all talented and have college level ability. Some of these players have a few offers, but all of them have the ability to play college football at some level.

6’0 180lbs
Joyner is a 2 sport athlete (Basketball) out of Central High located in Brooksville, Florida. He had a solid first game in defeat against a really good Mount Dora defense. He rushed for 58 yards and had a passing touchdown. Very smart player on and off the field with a 4.3 GPA!
Strengths:

Dual threat that can beat you running or passing
Vision and acceleration

5’10 170lbs
Adams was impressive last Friday night in helping Wiregrass shut out Wesley Chapel, 36-0. Adams finished the night with 4 catches for 71 yards and 2 touchdowns. I expect Adams to continue to put up big numbers in an explosive Bulls offense this season.

Contact balance
Good hands out of the backfield
Speed
