Micah Anderson
Micah Anderson 5'7" | 165 lbs | RB | 2028
FL
Jayden Petit
Jayden Petit 6'4" | 200 lbs | WR | 2026
FL
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Florida has long been a hotbed for high school football talent. The Sunshine State annually produces some of the nation's top players. Florida athletes are known for their speed, agility, and raw athleticism, these athletes have made a name for themselves and caught the attention of coaches and scouts. I wanted to go in-depth about some guys who's stock is trending upwards. These prospects have been impressing so far this season.&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>These players are all talented and have college level ability. Some of these players have a few offers, but all of them have the ability to play college football at some level.</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='1184993' first='Micah' last='Anderson']&nbsp;, LB- Bishop Verot High c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'0 205lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Anderson is a talented linebacker from Bishop Verot. Last season, the rising junior led the Vikings in tackles with 76. He added 7.5 tackles for a loss and 2.5 sacks. He's a good linebacker prospect who is a downhill linebacker that reads plays quickly and gets to the ball. He does a good job of scraping and sifting through traffic to make tackles and does a good job of squaring up and driving the ball carrier. He received his first Division I offer from Toledo this spring.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/8381931/Micah-Anderson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/8381931/Micah-Anderson</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Blake Calzon, DB/WR- Sunlake High c/o 25</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5'11 165lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Calzon is an under-the-radar prospect out of Pasco County who I expect to be a major contributor for Sunlake this season.

Last season he torched opposing defenses with 66 receptions for 1,283 yards and 15 touchdowns. Spencer shows outstanding quickness and acceleration off the line of scrimmage, eats up ground quickly and easily runs by defensive backs, and has the ability to make tough catches in traffic. A big-time player who is explosive.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16964357/Maddox-Spencer">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16964357/Maddox-Spencer</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='928362' first='Jayden' last='Petit'], WR, First Baptist Academy c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'4 202lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Petit was outstanding last season for First Baptist  Academy. Petit reeled in 66 receptions for 1,141 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. He is a well-built player with an extensive reach. He has good hands, and is a player who will go over the middle and make tough catches. He's a deep threat with soft hands and natural ball tracking skills. Petit has 11 offers, including Power 5 offers from Miami and Auburn.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17126182/Jayden-Petit">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17126182/Jayden-Petit</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
