Continue ReadingEven though the high school football season has ended, PRZ Florida will look at some Underclass stock riser prospects that deserve recognition in their respective positions and classifications. As noted frequently, Prep Redzone aims to provide adequate coverage of all athletes for college coaches At All Levels and readers to evaluate. Let’s get into some of the stats, Hudl films, and recent offers from some of the rising recruits.
Jayce Nixon Jayce Nixon 6'0" | 195 lbs | QB Tampa Gaither | 2025 FL | QB | 2025 | Gaither | @Jayce_Nixon_
2023 stats: 233/343 – 3004 yards – 28-5 TD/INT
Nixon is one of the most talented rising gunslingers that I’ve had the opportunity to watch develop over the last couple of years. Watched him dominate and impress various Power 5 coaches at camps last summer. He led Gaither to the Semi-Finals in the playoffs this year as a junior while throwing for more than 3,000 yards. Now, he transfers over to a talented Venice program where he still has some time to tone up his body and overall game but he has a Real Deal arm.
Antwann Raymond | RB | 2025 | CAI | @antwan_official
2023 stats: 201 rushes – 1643 yards – 20 TD
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.
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.
Joseph Troupe | RB | 2024 | Berkeley Prep | @JojoTroupe
2023 stats: 237 rushes – 1510 yards – 16 TD
This kid is the definition of a DOG! Troupe put his name on the map because of his tough running efforts throughout the state championship game. I’m sure Troupe will land a spot on a college roster just from the game film of his state championship performance.
Jamarice Wilder Jamarice Wilder 5'9" | 180 lbs | RB Sarasota Booker | 2025 State FL | RB | 2025 | Venice | @w_jamarice
2023 stats: 149 rushes – 1279 yards – 25 TD
This kid put together a great season on the ground that landed him some big-time Power 4 offers. Wilder displayed pure athleticism all season and showed off his potential upside to make it happen at the next level. Decent speed and open field moves, with break away capabilities because of his ability to read the field.
Shawn Simeon Shawn Simeon 5'10" | 170 lbs | ATH Naples | 2025 State FL | RB | 2025 | Naples | @ShawnSimeon5
2023 stats: 188 rushes – 2040 yards – 27 TD
This kid is the Real Deal! One of the top running backs in the state produced week in and week out for his squad. It was in the postseason that Simeon truly showed his upside and potential to procure at the next level. Just check the stats and film college coaches, you’re going to want to get eyes on this one.
Khamani Robinson | RB | 2025 | Seminole | @khamanirobinso1
2023 stats: 166 rushes – 1092 yards – 14 TD
One of the top backs and workhorses in the area will join a good program at Seminole HS who have a solid roster building heading into the fall. Robinson is a huge piece that will immediately add to the rushing attack.
Chris Denson | QB | 2025 | Plant City | @chrisdenson03
2023 stats: 135/209 – 2147 yards – 26-8 TD/INT
Denson has been on fire since the off-season when he won QB Standout at the 863Showcase. He only took that momentum and confidence into the season as he finished a really solid 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.
Mykah Newton | 2025 | Newberry | @MykahNewton1
2023 stats: 62 total tackles – 26.0 TFL
Newton has dominated the offseason circuit since the Prep Redzone Showcase a while ago. Newton is a big presence with great length at 6-foot-3 with plenty of time to add more muscle to his frame. He is a technician with his hands and understands pad leverage. Newton will be another top prospect in the area by his senior season.
JoJo Scott JoJo Scott 6'2" | 170 lbs | DB Lakeland Victory Christian | 2025 FL | ATH | 2025 | Victory Christian | @jojoscott0
On Friday nights, Scott is the main attraction for Victory Christian’s offense as he’s a home run type player who has made some big-time catches while making plays on both sides of the ball. He also provides solid defensive coverage and could play the defensive back position at the next level.
