With recruiting services and scouts on hand along with media and college coaches, it was a day to put your best foot forward.
They came from the Panhandle and south Florida to compete – with two days before the start of spring practice, and by the end the three hours ended, several players left a lasting impression.
After testing and competing, it was up to the coaches who came from Edward Waters, Webber International, Ave Maria, NAIA national champion Keiser University and other destinations.
THE CHOICE FOR MVP WAS NOT EASY
When you have so many gifted prospects on hand, choosing the best at each position was indeed a very tough thing to do.

WR – Kenton “Tre” Dopson III, 6-0, 185, Miami Norland. 3.0 GPA, 2027. Here is a versatile talent who may be in the top 10 for his class as he showed last year in the 3M state tile game. Can play receiver or defensive back.

DB – Terrence “T.J.” Griffin, Athlete, 5-9, 170, St. Cloud, 2025. At easily one of the most competitive positions on defense, he emerged as one of the elite secondary prospects that gave receivers a tough time all day.
