Continue ReadingNever did the phrase “Quality over Quantity” apply more than it did on Sunday at Holiday Park in Fort Lauderdale.
As some of the top football players in the Sunshine State headed south, the name of the game was elite competition as the Prep Redzone Stock Up Exposure event showcased football talent – in all classes – from as far away as New York and as close as all-over south Florida.
With college coaches from NAIA national champion Keiser University, Ave Maria, Florida Memorial, Fort Lauderdale University and other schools on hand, the name of the game was being noticed and performing at a high level.
For three hours, prospects tested, learned and competed as parents and supporters came to watch and take in a memorable event.
MVP’S SHINED ALL DAY
While the event had to choose the Most Valuable players at every position, the decision was certainly not easy.
At every position, there were numerous athletes that all turned their talent to another level, competing against several difference makers.
College coaches on hand had a tough decision to make when making their selections.
QUARTERBACK
2026 – Joel Morris Joel Morris 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Riverview Sumner | 2026 State FL , 6-5, 195, Sanford Seminole. There is no doubt that this is going to be one of the top underclassmen in the state this coming season after making his move from Orlando Edgewater. His performance on Sunday was indeed very impressive, battling against some quality competition.
RUNNING BACK
2025 – Joshua Perry Joshua Perry 6'0" | 185 lbs | RB Orlando Edgewater | 2025 State FL , RB, 5-11, 190, Orlando Edgewater. One of the toughest positions to judge in a combine setting, it all comes down to drills, testing and being able to catch the ball in the one one-on-one competition. Makes his way from Orlando Lake Nona and is expected to be one of the best running backs in the state during the 2024 season.
RECEIVER
2024 – Decedric Stokes Decedric Stokes 5'11" | 175 lbs | WR Davie Western | 2024 FL , 5-11, 155, Davie Western. Finishing up his career this past season, he was one of those prospects on hand that was looking for some exposure to land himself at a college next fall. Certainly, made the most of his opportunities with outstanding play and showcasing his skills during the drills. Some college is going to get someone very special.
OFFENSIVE LINE
2025 – Sadler Soles Sadler Soles 6'2" | 285 lbs | DL Clewiston | 2025 FL , 6-2, 280, Clewiston. If anyone thrust himself into the spotlight on Sunday, it was this young man, who has proven over the past three years that he is indeed one of the best. No matter where you put him on either side of the ball, he has the talent and athleticism to standout out. His best position could be as a center at the next level. As technically sound as you will find.
DEFNSIVE LINE
2025 – Johannes Mager, DE, 6-4, 220, Homestead. On a team that advanced to the state title game for the second straight year, this is someone that NOBODY has talked about as a prospect, which is a total shame since he has everything it takes to be very special at this level and beyond. Came to this country from Germany and has already started to turn heads.
LINEBACKER
2025 – Oliver Vickers-Murphy Oliver Vickers-Murphy 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Saint Andrew's School | 2025 FL , OLB, 6-0, 205, Boca Raton St. Andrew’s Academy. Yet another prospect who has landed in the United States after coming from Australia, he wowed all the college coaches on hand with his ability to test well and perform during the football competition of the event. A major surprise at the showcase as he opened some eyes to those who knew nothing about him.
DEFENSIVE BACK:
2025 – Thomas Young Thomas Young 5'11" Orlando Christian Prep | 2025 FL , DB, 5-11, 175, Orlando Christian Prep. Yet another central Florida area football prospect who headed south and made a huge impact with coaches and his fellow event performers. Was easily the best in coverage, using his speed and football skills. Keep your eye on him this coming season. You will hear his name plenty.
COMING UP NEXT: The quarterbacks who attended this year’s showcase stole the show as we look those who attended.
