At the recent state championships in Tallahassee there were several quality prospects who jumped on the radar screen.
From quarterbacks to receivers, running backs, offensive and defensive linemen, linebackers and secondary performers, there was a bright spotlight that was shining for the three days and nine games.

The kickers in six of the nine contests certainly made a difference in the outcome of the contests played on the campus of Florida A&M University.
