These young stars have dominated their competition and showcased their impressive skills throughout the season. This watchlist is a must-read if you're a Prep Level football fan or love supporting local talent. Keep an eye out for these future superstars and don't miss out on all future All-County Lists. Let's get into some recruits who earned their name on the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sammy Etienne | WR | Class of 2025 | Auburndale | @TheRealestSam3&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recent offers: EKU, Arkansas State, FAU, Liberty, Akron</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Etienne has been one of the biggest risers in the area after showing off his versatility throughout the regular season.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827407' first='Ben' last='Beymer'] | OL | 2025 | Lakeland | @BenBeymer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recent offers: Arkansas State, FAU, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, Maryland</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beymer made the move over to Lakeland High for his junior season where he's flashed on tape as a developing tackle prospect that has the tools in the box to work and become a true D1 prospect. He's the tallest lineman in the area that fits the college look but once he works more on his bend and hands, his upside will be through the roof.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831338' first='Jordan' last='Henderson'] | RB | 2025 | Lakeland | @CutbackHat</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recent offers: Toledo, Rhode Island, UNLV</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid has displayed his ability to excel in all three phases of the position: running, catching, and blocking. Lakeland is known for producing talented running backs therefore look out for Henderson to add to that list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Josh Bellamy | RB | Class of 2025 | Lakeland Christian | @JoshBellamyJr1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bellamy has been a playmaker and productive piece for the Vikings so far this season. He's still slept on in the Polk area despite a nearly 1,000-yard rushing season with double-digit touchdowns.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cameron Fuse | WR | 2028 | @D1Cam04</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wow. This kid may be the next big thing at the wide receiver position to come out of the Polk County area. Fuse is just an 8th grader but you can't tell that when looking at his frame and upside skills. An advanced route runner already, Fuse is only 14 years old with a 6-1, 175-pound frame combined with strong hands and decent speed. Telling you now college coaches, lock in and build a relationship with this future star.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Joshod Hampton |DB | 2025 | Bartow | @Joshod3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid continues to work on his technique which is starting to pay off when watching his work. Hampton is another big-time underrated riser who has witnessed his stock rise during the offseason period. As noted: Hampton has a good football IQ for the defensive back position where he can make plays on the ball or use his presence to deter throws.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1209647' first='Trey' last='Berry'] | DB | 2025 | LCS | @Trey_berryy2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1143144' first='Riley' last='Cooper'] | G/T | 2026 | Santa Fe | @RileyCo91361498&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1131791' first='Dathan' last='Glover'] | DB | 2025 | Santa Fe | @dathan_g3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Arquan Glanton | DB | 2025 | Winter Haven | @D1Jak</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A decent framed rising sophomore with 6-1 height to make plays on the ball. Excited to see how he competes against his peers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Devonte Howard | WR | 2026 | LCS | @DJhoward_6</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seems this kid has played every position, a pure athlete that will likely move on to wideout for his high school campaign.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
