2025 Player Updates – Part 1

In this article:
Through the course of two years, we are pleased to bring you rankings for all classes.
During that time, new prospects are added from the vast amount of talent that encompasses the Sunshine State and over 850 miles from the Florida Keys into the Central Time Zone in the Panhandle.
With over 500 football-playing schools it is never easy to get every gifted player ranked, but as you know – from off-season camps and combines to spring practices and a season that lasts from the end of August until the second week of December, Prep Redzone watches more talent LIVE than any other source in the state.
While it's easy to keep track of the star-rated athletes, our ability to follow and promote those talented football players who are not in the spotlight is what has made this website and our social media what it is today.
During our second Class of 2025 ranking – with the spring and summer ahead - we added some new names to keep an eye on.
In our first part, we bring you several players – such as LaJesse Harrold LaJesse Harrold 6'5" | 220 lbs | DL Tampa Robinson | 2025 State FL (DL, Tampa Robinson), Keon Young Keon Young 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Lakeland | 2025 State FL (DB, Lakeland), Taren Hedrick Taren Hedrick 6'5" | 305 lbs | OL Community School of Naples | 2025 State FL (OL, Community School of Naples), Gavin Jenkins Gavin Jenkins 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Lake Butler Union County | 2025 FL (DB, Lake Butler Union County), Dante Core Dante Core 6'1" | 170 lbs | DB Fort Walton Beach | 2025 State FL (DB, Fort Walton Beach), Sam Hayward Sam Hayward 6'3" | 210 lbs | DL Jacksonville Providence | 2025 FL (DL, Jacksonville Providence), Jonathan Carter Jonathan Carter 6'2" | 185 lbs | DB Pembroke Pines Flanagan | 2025 State FL (DB, Pembroke Pines Flanagan), versatile Dakota Brower Dakota Brower 5'11" | 180 lbs | ATH Gainesville Oak Hall | 2025 FL (Athlete, Gainesville Oak Hall), standout baseball and football player JoJo Troupe JoJo Troupe 5'9" | 220 lbs | RB Tampa Berkeley Prep | 2025 FL (RB, Tampa Berkeley Prep), Jaquez Joiner Jaquez Joiner 6'3" | 265 lbs | OL Cocoa | 2025 FL (OL, Cocoa).
