He had a good season in 2023, rushing for 435 yards, averaging 9.1 yards per carry with four touchdowns. He also chipped in with 12 receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown. Strickland has very good vision and terrific feet in the hole, can start and stop in a blink, shows speed to the edge, and also has elite agility and burst to excel running inside or outside. He's a terrific prospect that I look forward to following the next several seasons.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Film</em><strong><em>: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18416543/Jordan-Strickland">https://www.hudl.com/profile/18416543/Jordan-Strickland</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1130811' first='Dane' last='Thompkins']- Lake Minneola High c/o 25</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5'9 185lbs&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thompkins was nothing short of outstanding last season.

He has very good contact balance, shows reliable hands, and good open-field running ability.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Film</em><strong><em>: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/6454936/Dane-Thompkins">https://www.hudl.com/profile/6454936/Dane-Thompkins</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1212073' first='Jamarie' last='Pierre']- Horizon High c/o 25</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'0 170lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Pierre is one of the best class of 2025 players in the Central Florida area.

Pierre has a smooth running style that allows him to glide over the ground. His speed is evident on film, where he consistently erases angles from defenders. He's a player coaches need to check out quickly this spring; his stock is on the rise, and he picked up his first offer from Keiser University at the end of April.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Film</em><strong><em>: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16224471/Jamarie-Pierre">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16224471/Jamarie-Pierre</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Jamarian Whitter- Forest High c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5'11 164lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Whitter is a prospect coaches really need to take a look at this season. Whitter forms a potent one-two punch with Strickland. Last season, he had 59 carries for 234 yards while averaging 4 yards per carry with 2 touchdowns. He has very good short-area quickness and is very fast in the open field. He also is a really good defensive back who does a good job as a middle-of-the-field safety, reading the quarterback's eyes and using his range to make plays on the ball. I expect his production to double this season.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Film</em><strong><em>: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17952051/Jamarian-Whitter">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17952051/Jamarian-Whitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
