<p>Before the dust settles from the HS spring session and college camp showcases, recruits eagerly anticipate the upcoming season. With new talent emerging and established players stepping up their game, there are plenty of notable stock risers who deserve recognition. These athletes have put in the work and have seen an uptick in offers/interest. Let's take a closer look at some top performers ready to shine this season.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='606153' first='Logan' last='Mccloud'] | 2025 | Newberry | @theloganmccloud </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After a visit to Newberry this spring, it was no doubt that this kid was destined for a productive season. He finally got to get his hands on another team and made the most of it. Just check the First half Stats: 5 tackles, 1 receiving touchdown, 1 QB pressure, and 1 fumble recovery. As noted, McCloud has the frame and skills to play all over the field at the Prep Level. He has continued to develop his overall game this offseason and is set to be one of the interesting prospects on the Newberry big three. McCloud is a dynamic athlete who can play multiple positions on the defensive side because of his athleticism and agility skills. </p>

<p><strong>Devin Voltaire | WR | 2025 | Seminole | @devinvoltaire</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This kid has developed into one of my favorite wide receiver prospects in the area. He's a road DOG who has put in work all during the offseason period. He's seen a jump in college interest where coaches have got eyes on his 6-3, 200-pound frame and crazy catch radius to go with it. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1212123' first='Khamani' last='Robinson'] | RB | 2025 | Seminole | @khamanirobinso1</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the top backs and workhorses in the area has joined 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. Check the film college coaches, the kid is legit. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Sammy Etienne | WR | Class of 2025 | Auburndale | @TheRealestSam3 </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Have watched this kid take off this spring and there's no doubt he's the real deal. He's shown off potential to play the WR position but Etienne is a lockdown corner with great athleticism. Etienne has been one of the biggest risers in the area after showing off his versatility throughout the regular season. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831338' first='Jordan' last='Henderson'] | RB | 2025 | Lakeland | @CutbackHat</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Henderson has the potential to be a bellcow for the Lakeland rushing attack and could see big numbers if he stays healthy. 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>

<p><strong>Rodney Grant | ATH | 2025 | Seminole | </strong><strong>@rodney24k</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Grant is another talented and athletic running back on the Seminole roster who had a productive spring game. This kid is a D1 football player and will have a huge impact on the offense this season. He broke off a 70-yard TD last night after showing off tough runs and beast mod</p>

<p><strong>Joseph Troupe | RB | 2025 | Berkeley Prep | @JojoTroupe</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This kid is the definition of a DOG! Troupe put his name on the map because of his tough running efforts last season. I'm sure Troupe will land a spot on a college roster just from the game film of his state championship performance.</p>

<p><strong>Josiah White | 2026 | DB | Bartow | @3_strapz</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If there is a DB I've seen this spring with a pro-level build and high upside is this kid Josiah White who picked up his first P4 offer from West Virginia this week. He's been willing to put those offers to the test by showing off solid IQ at the safety position while developing coverage skills in the 1v1 setting. Got my eyes on White who still has another year to build on technique and use his eyes. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='829333' first='Avis' last='Brown'] Jr | 2025 | RB | Bartow | @hollywood_ajb</strong> </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Was able to get my eyes on Brown who was absent at practice but has been told he is the real deal and potential bellcow for this offense. This kid has a great frame for the running back position and a nice motor to be a physically hard-to-bring-down runner. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1131791' first='Dathan' last='Glover'] | 2025 ATH | Santa Fe Catholic | @dathan_g3</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Some kids are often overlooked when competing in private schools at the prep level. Make no mistake, I've watched Glover line up on both sides of the ball and compete at a high level. He's shown off decent coverage skills and can get it done at the receiver position. Plenty of time to develop but I think he will play defensive back at the next level because of his speed, length, and IQ. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='943260' first='Isaiah' last='Thomas'] | RB | 2025 | Lake Mary | @IsaiahThomas128</strong><br>Not sure how this kid hasn't gotten the deserved recognition but that's why we are in this industry. Letting you know now, he's the workhorse for this Lake Mary rushing attack.<strong> </strong>He's picked up some deserved offers this offseason from the likes of UMass, Buffalo, and Charlotte Southern.</p>
