Progress Being Made At Hernando

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a number of ways that Brooksville Hernando head football coach <strong>John Scargle</strong> and his team can look at last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the Leopards were finishing 4-6 and had some tough losses to elite programs, they finished strong – with two consecutive wins against Crystal River and Weeki Wachee.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No matter how things ended, Scargle and his staff didn't come here to be average. With a number of talented athletes in the region, there was a feeling that this group could tap into the same pool of football prospects that had this team successful just five seasons ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As this team is working hard to improve each year, the only way to accomplish the positives is to have a strong spring and attend as many events as possible during the summer that will benefit the entire program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As spring is just a few weeks away having the rising senior class (2025) step up and not only lead, but showcase the valuable experience the team received this past season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a few of those prospects to keep an eye on:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Noah Brown, OL, 6-2, 305 – 2.9 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16527970/Noah-Brown" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16527970/Noah-Brown</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cole Collins, DE, 6-2, 230 – 3.3 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17527661/David-Collins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17527661/David-Collins</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Isaiah Daniels, OL, 6-0, 260 – 3.1 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17632377/Isaiah-Daniels" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17632377/Isaiah-Daniels</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keaundre Gavin, Edge, 6-0, 190 – 3.2 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19614442/Keaundre-Gavin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/19614442/Keaundre-Gavin</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sam Jackson, FB/LS, 6-0, 210 – 3.7 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16528104/Sam-Jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16528104/Sam-Jackson</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1230925' first='Gabe' last='Sansone'], DB, 6-1, 175 – 3.1 GPA.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16527963/64f50e2e344a4e0ae4e29d0f" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16527963/64f50e2e344a4e0ae4e29d0f</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AWAITING SPRING VIDEO</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isaac Hiett, LB/DE, 6-1, 220 – 2.7 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nick King, LB, 5-9, 175 – 3.1 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Devin Maxson, DT, 6-0, 290 – 3.1 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>GAME EXPERIENCE WILL BE VITAL FOR THE UNDERCLASSMEN</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No matter how much work has been put in during the off-season, there is no substitute for game experience and film that will sell each athlete to colleges.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If anything comes out of this spring, getting these rising juniors (2026) and sophomores (2027) some game clips to put themselves out there.
