Breaking Through: Six Fast Rising Prospects To Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the 7v7 season begins to take off and college camps follow close behind, our scout Drew Johnson will be on the move to track down Real Deal Stock Risers and Players to Watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mykel Calixte | WR | 2025 | Dr. Phillips | @newerakel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wow, this kid should have 20+ Division I offers. I knew of his talent because of his regular season performance but Calixte is ready for a breakout off-season. The kid is a tall and lengthy 6'4, 190-pound wide receiver prospect who can move and get physical with his size to bully opposing defenders. Don't sleep on the route running and in good hands. College coaches, get eyes on this kid asap.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Salomon Georges Jr | QB | Class of 2025 | Leesburg | @SalomonJR17</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 stats: 2209 yards – 29 TD – 4 rushing TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Georges was a part of the Leesburg offensive engine that rolled over opposing defenses this past season. I have my eyes on Georges this off-season during 7v7 period and he does not disappoint. He's an accurate QB who has displayed solid timing with his receivers. He can move an offense down the field with his deadly scrambling ability or accurate deep ball shots. Should see an uptick in college interest during the spring period. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1132452' first='Evan' last='James'] | WR | Class of 2025 | Leesburg | @Evanjames2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>James is emerging as one of the rising 2025 wide receivers who has proven to be a playmaker throughout the season. He finished leading the team in receptions and receiving yards in 8 games played. DOG!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='753030' first='Michael' last='Dove'] | QB | 2025 | Lake Nona | @michael_dove16</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-1 junior recently announced he will transfer to Lake Nona for his senior season. Dove was recognized for All-Orange Observer 2nd Team honors after finishing the season with 2025 TOT YDS (1611 passing, 414 rushing) and 35 TOT TDS (22 passing, 13 rushing). He's been working with QB trainer Baylin Trujillo to continue developing his arm talent and footwork mechanics. Dove is a smart QB that can use his legs to extend plays. Dove is getting a lot of college attention with offers from Columbia, Navy, and Georgetown University.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1212119' first='Dalten' last='Phelan'] | LB | Class of 2025 | Lake Nona | @daltenphelan24</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After leading the Lake Nona defense in total tackles (65) a season ago, Phelan is primed for a big-time spring period. He's seen an uptick in college interest bud off-season with offers coming from Georgetown University, Air Force, Army, and Navy. You can tell by who's targeting him that he's a physical linebacker and a sure tackler. Keep an eye on his progression heading into the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Roberto Castillo | LB | 2026 | Seminole | @rcastillo11_26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid deserves the recognition as he's been one of the hardest workers I've seen this off-season. Weightlifting, track and field, you name it and Castillo is probably involved. He's a stout linebacker prospect who'll have his chance to show off the hard work this spring. He's made a move over to Seminole where he can add to a talented defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
