The Future — List of 20 Next Up 2027 Prospects
QBs:
Landen Holley Landen Holley 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Wesley Chapel | 2027 FL | QB | 2027 | Wesley Chapel | @LandenHolleyQB
One of the top 2027 QBs in the country is Landen Holley Landen Holley 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Wesley Chapel | 2027 FL who has picked up three big-time offers from schools in Florida (USF, UCF, Florida). That’s something to be proud of having limited high school game film but it’s also a testament to what coaches see in his upside. Good frame with time to add weight but possesses good footwork mechanics and agility to move around combined with good vision and solid throwing mechanics.
Joaquin Kavouklis | QB | 2027 | CAI | @joaquinkav10
The 6-1, 180-pound freshman is developing into a potential Power 5 prospect for Clearwater Academy International since filling in for the injured Washington State senior QB commit Evans Chuba.
Kavouklis has gained invaluable experience, finishing his inaugural high school season with 1,608 passing yards and 13 touchdowns.
Myles McDonald Myles McDonald QB Zephyrhills Christian Academy | 2027 FL | QB | 2027 | ZCA | @813_mcdonald
McDonald has all the tools to make a case for one of the top QBs in the Class of 2027. The natural lefty zips the ball around with a strong lower base and good footwork mechanics. He has plenty of time to grow and master the position. McDonald has had an impressive off-season and will look to take that momentum into the camp season.
RB:
Tranard Roberts Tranard Roberts 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Williston | 2027 FL | QB | 2027 | Williston | @tranardroberts1

WR:
Joshua Jones Joshua Jones 6'2" | 190 lbs | ATH FL | ATH | Class of 2027 | Zarephath | @JoshuaJones3x
Jones has one of the best physiques I’ve seen on a rising freshman wide receiver and he’s been able to transfer all of the hard work in the off-season to the gridiron.
Kaneilius Purdy | ATH | 2027 | Lake Wales | @KaneiliusPurdy
Purdy is one of the top 2027 prospects in the Polk area and soon to be the state. You heard it here folks, this kid will be a Power 5 recruit in years to come. Special team threat and can play all over the field.
Landon Wolney | WR | 2027 | FBA | @landonwolny_80
Wolny is a decent route runner for his size and has flashed sure-hand capabilities when contested. He can likely develop into a true Power 5 recruit with more work put in during the off-season—really impressive freshman year with lots of upside for Wolny. College coaches should get in early and monitor his progression.
Mannie McKinney | WR | 2027 | CAI | @manniemck_
McKinney is one of the top freshman wide receivers in the state. The electric slot product made some momentum-shifting plays including a big-time catch to set up CAI for a goal-line score.

PRZ Florida has put the message alert out for this kid. College coaches have to develop a relationship with this fast-rising 2027 defensive back. Plenty of upside, length, and skill to be a problem at the next level.
Jamarcus Giscombe | ATH | 2027 | Rockledge | @JamarcusG321
A two-way athlete that’s caught the attention of football fans on social media. He’s recently been added to the elite Raw 7v7 squad as a young producer. Keep eyes on the progression of this kid.
