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.
Antwann Raymond | RB | 2025 | CAI | @antwan_official
Recent offers: South Carolina, Indiana, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Texas A&M
It’s been a long time coming for 2025 running back Antwan Raymond. The 3-star prospect has made the most of his move from Canada, totaling over 1,000 rushing yards in five games playing for Clearwater Academy International. Now he’s starting to gain national attention but for Raymond, this was always in the works.
Michael Clayton | 2026 | Seminole | @MikeClaytonQB1
Recent offers: Miami, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Toledo
Clayton is starting to pick up much-deserved buzz from college coaches as he’s earned verbal offers from big-time Power 4 schools such as Miami and Ole Miss in the past week. The 6-4 signal-caller is set for a huge offseason where he can show off his legitimate arm talent and upside. Look out for more offers to continue rolling in.
Malik Morris | ATH | 2026 | Lakeland | @MalikMoriss43_
Recent offers: Miami, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Florida
We have found a true Power 5 recruit and guaranteed playmaker at the next level in Lakeland’s 2026 Malik Morris. Who knew this kid could run the ball so effectively? Head coach Marvin Frazier who watched him day in and day out at practice made a smart decision to start letting Morris tote the rock earlier in the regular season. Morris is a BEAST at linebacker but the sophomore could have a future running the football.
Jaelen Waters Jaelen Waters 6'2" | 180 lbs | DB Seffner Armwood | 2026 FL | DB | Class of 2026 | Armwood | @Jaelen_waters9
Recent offers: Florida, UCF, Penn State, South Carolina, Nebraska, Syracuse
For college coaches looking to establish legitimate relationships with true upside 2026 defensive backs, look no further than Armwood producer Jaelen Waters Jaelen Waters 6'2" | 180 lbs | DB Seffner Armwood | 2026 FL . This kid has developed into the Real Deal since first laying eyes on him. Really good frame combined with long arms and a nice burst gets the job done in pass coverage. It’s the on-field IQ and confidence at the position that makes him a special recruit for the future. Look for a continued uptick in college interest as we head into the offseason period.
Tyler Williams Tyler Williams 6'2" | 190 lbs | WR Riverview Sumner | 2025 State FL | WR | 2025 | Sumner | @TJgokrazzy
Recent offers: Georgia, South Carolina, Tulane, Indiana, ECU
What a year Williams put together as he showed off his ability to be the Real Deal at wideout in his junior season. This kid has big play written on his sleeve because of his blazing speed and sticky glue hands. Williams will certainly be a big-time recruit and make a college coach happy at the next level.
Carl Jenkins Carl Jenkins 6'3" | 165 lbs | WR St. Augustine | 2025 FL Jr | WR | 2025 | SAHS | @thecarljenkins
Recent offers: Coastal Carolina, Tulane, Pittsburgh, FAU
Jenkins has stamped himself as one of the top 2025 WR prospects in the state after earning All-District honors in his junior season. Jenkins is an electric athlete with sticky-glue hands and is a home run threat after the catch. Jenkins has flashed good route-running skills and initial release while using basketball-esque hops to beat defenders mid-air for contested catches. He’s also displayed vapor speed to beat defenders in coverage and is equally lethal in open space. A rising prospect that should be on all Florida universities’ radar.
Girard Pringle | RB | 2025 | Armwood | @GirardPringle
Recent offers: Colorado, Indiana, Tulane
Pringle is that dude. Has to be one of the more underrated running back prospects in the area but he’s starting to get the college attention he deserves after a great junior season.
Jaffar Jean-Louis Jaffar Jean-Louis 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Plantation American Heritage | 2026 FL | DB | 2026 | West Orange | @DevinJackson010
Recent offers: Iowa State, USF, Nebraska, Syracuse
Jackson has been one of my top DOG standouts because he wasn’t afraid to step up and show off his technical skills in coverage while providing reliable tackling. The West Orange product has plenty of time to sharpen his bag of skills and see a big uptick in offers.
Carter Emmanuel Carter Emmanuel 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Orlando Lake Nona | 2026 FL | QB | 2026 | Edgewater | @CarterEmanuel1
Recent offers: Arkansas, Liberty
This kid continues to develop at the QB position and college coaches are catching on. He’s made the move over to Edgewater this season and is set for a productive off-season period. Solid sophomore year for Emmanuel who looks ready to take the next step.
Joaquin Kavouklis | QB | 2027 | CAI | @joaquinkav10
Recent offers: Arkansas
Much deserved recognition from one of the true rising 2027 QBs around. He’s still growing into his frame and mastering the mechanics but the arm talent is evident.
