Carter's skills at the wide receiver position has earned him an official offer from FAU who sees what I see when watching him line up at wide out. He's a slick and speedy receiver with nice hands that he uses to exploit defensive backs. He should be a real production piece come fall for this Edgewater offense.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sev Croom II | ATH | 2025 | Lyman | @SevCroom</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Croom is a versatile athlete capable of making plays on both sides of the ball. His ability to excel in multiple positions has earned him five offers from colleges such as Grambling State, UMass, and Cornell. On offense, he showcases good agility and vision, making him a threat as both a receiver and a special teams specialist. Defensively, Croom II displays solid instincts and coverage skills, making him a reliable presence in the secondary. As he continues to develop, Croom II's well-rounded skill set is likely to draw even more attention from college programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1130811' first='Dane' last='Thompkins'] | RB | 2025 | Lake Minneola | @dane_thompkins</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College coaches looking for a versatile running back who can produce in today's age of the game, look no further than this kid who recorded nearly 2,000 rushing yards and 30 TDs in his junior season. Impressed with his productive level a season ago while his stock has risen heading into the spring period.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Daionte Hicks | ATH | 2026 | Buchholz | @DJ_Hicks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most elite wide receiver at the Main Event camp was Hicks who made his way down to represent Buchholz High. This kid was electric and went nearly unguarded in the 1v1 period. Hicks showed off great twitch and solid hands to take home the WR MVP award.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1220052' first='Israel' last='Marion'] | WR | 2025 | Santaluces | @1lilizz</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Been putting it out to the recruiting world to get eyes on Marion since the spring session. He helped take down his former team Spanish River with some big-time catches.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Anthony Gay | WR | 2026 | Seminole | @AnthonyGayIII1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gay has been one of the better slot WR prospects that I've scouted during this 7v7 circuit period. He's an electric gadget piece at 5-6, 160-pounds with a solid stout frame he uses to get past defenders. He's playing with the rising Sanford Elite squad which will get him right heading to the spring with his new high school Seminole (Sanford, FL)<strong>.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1220071' first='Zack' last='Pillow'] | WR | 2025 | Cocoa | @zackpillow3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pillow has been on my rising radar since dominating the off-season period. Standing at 6-1, 185 pounds, Pillow brings a strong physical presence to Cocoa HS's already formidable wide receiver corps. His decent speed and reliable hands make him a consistent and dependable target for 2026 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1247449' first='Brady' last='Hart']</strong> . His knack for catching the ball consistently will help Cocoa's offense rack up even more total yards.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1202412' first='Brody' last='Graham'] | WR | 2025 | Baron Collier | @BrodyGraham15</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a productive season for Graham who recorded over 1,000 total yards for Baron Collier with 12 TDs to add. He's an under the radar wide receiver that has displayed big-play ability but continues to be slept on. Has another season to generate some college interest but expect his production level to continue rising heading into the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='827389' first='Joshua' last='Guerrier'] | ATH | Class of 2025 | Ocoee @xertifiedjosh</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1313974' first='Tony' last='Kinsler'] | ATH | 2025 | Spruce Creek | @TonyKinsler2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2023 stats: 55 receptions – 856 yards – 11 TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
