Continue ReadingIt’s that time of the year when high school football college offers are flying all over social media. PRZ scout Drew Johnson has been doing his best to keep track of all the action. With numerous talented athletes in the Sunshine State, college coaches are vying for their attention. The offers are pouring in from Division I to Division III, and it’s an exciting time for the student-athletes. Let’s take a closer look at some of the recruits who picked up recent and notable offers.
Jarquez Carter | 2025 | DT | Newberry | @JarquezCarter |
Recent offers: FSU, Georgia, USC, Texas A&M
Carter is beginning to emerge as one of the premier defensive tackle prospects in the class of 2025 since landing as a top standout in the Prep Redzone Showcase in Bradenton, FL a year or so ago. Carter can set the edge really well for a player of his stature and be an anchor in the tackle spot. He continues to develop and will be one of the top names in the area before his senior season.
Chancellor Barclay Chancellor Barclay 6'4" | 280 lbs | OL Orlando The First Academy | 2026 State FL | OL | 2026 | Lake Minneola | @ChancellorB2026
Recent offers: Miami, Penn State
Barclay could be the top 2026 offensive lineman in the state. This kid is popping on college radars after showing off his upside at the position during the regular season. His stock will continue rising as one of the more coveted young OL prospects.
Keon Young Keon Young 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Lakeland | 2025 State FL | DB | 2025 | Lakeland | @keonyoung_55
Recent offers: UCF, Auburn, Texas A&M, Syracuse
I’m telling you now, Young is a 5-star product. A versatile prospect that’ll be at a Power 5 school. Interception magnet and sure tackling capabilities.
Chris Denson | QB | 2025 | Plant City | @chrisdenson03
Recent offers: USF, Liberty, FAU
Denson has been on fire since the off-season and has only fed off that momentum and confidence as he finished an excellent junior season with over 2,000 passing yards and nearly 30 TD passes. Denson has a good frame, footwork to move around the pocket, and arm talent to put the ball where it needs to be.
Trenton Jones | WR | 2025 | SAHS | @trentonjones168
Recent offers: Marshall, Coastal Carolina, FAU
One of the premier ball players in the North Florida area is trending up on college coaches’ radars. He’s a versatile athlete who gets it done at the wide receiver position. A speedy rising junior who will make even more noise this season.
Jade Card Jade Card 6'2" | 195 lbs | ATH Miami Northwestern | 2025 State FL | WR | 2025 | Norland | @JADECARD11
Recent offers: Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Liberty
Not sure how a kid with this size and overall talent and upside at the WR position was slept on during the regular season. Maybe not because of the notable SEC offers he’s picked up recently. Really physical 2025 WR that’ll fit in that type of environment. Keep an eye on his development.
Larry Miles | WR | 2026 | West Orange | @d1larry123
Recent offers: Syracuse, Iowa State, Toledo
The sophomore had a decent season for West Orange and showed off his potential upside to keep developing into a problem at wideout. He has a decent frame at 6’0, 175 with plenty of time to add weight. He led his team in both receptions and receiving yards in year two and is set for a major offseason period.
