<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='405300' first='Dereon' last='Coleman'] | QB | 2026 | Jones | @DereonColemanQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The recent Miami Hurricanes commit was on fire all night to start the season for Jones, finishing with 400+ yards and 4 TDs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1130892' first='Joshua' last='Perry'] | RB | 2025 | Edgewater | @joshua3perry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a way to start the season after all the offseason momentum. Perry had a productive preseason game vs @NFLAcademy where he finished with 23 rushes for 234 yards and 3 TDs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1206696' first='Noah' last='Grubbs'] | QB | 2026 | Lake Mary | @NoahGrubbsQB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What a way to start the junior season for one of the top 2026 QBs in the country. In a 40-18 win over Oviedo, Grubbs finished with 18/31 passes for 273 yards and 3 passing TDs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368296' first='Larry' last='Miles'] | WR | 2026 | Jones | @d1larry123</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the premier 2026 WRs in the country put on a show to stamp his name as the real deal. It was a 99-yard TD catch from Coleman to Miles that put the game out of reach.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='833712' first='Keveun' last='Mason'] | RB | 2025 | Sebring | @keveunmason07</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fresh off an off-season move to Sebring, Mason went off on the ground in the kickoff classic finishing with 4 total TDs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaylen White | QB | 2026 | Clearwater | @jaylen_white12</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We knew this kid was talented after dominating the college bus tour this offseason but it's now coming all together as White showed he's a true Dual Threat under center. He recorded 10/13 passes for 213 yards and 2 TDs while adding 6 rushes for 133 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581905' first='Jadarius' last='Dobie'] | RB | 2026 | Lakeland | @dobie_jadarius</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure there were many running backs who ran as hard as this kid on Week 0 which earned him a verbal offer from Georgia Tech this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='826542' first='Vernell' last='Brown III'] | WR | 2025 | Jones | @VB3_9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The complete piece of this growing trio of talent between Coleman, Miles, and Brown who had the game changing play this weekend with an electric 85-yard punt return. The legacy Florida commit is no doubt the real deal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1670969' first='Kaneilius' last='Purdy'] | ATH | 2027 | Lake Wales | @KaneiliusPurdy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure how this kid is ranked higher nationally in the 2027 class as he's a true do-it-all type of athlete. What a way to start the season as Purdy had 4 TDs in a Highlander win over Treasure Coast.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368267' first='Somourian' last='Wingo'] | WR | 2026 | SAHS | @_somourianwingo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of my top WRs in the state put on a show to start the season as he recorded 8 receptions for 151 yards and 2 TDs.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1314015' first='Chris' last='Denson'] | QB | 2025 | Plant City | @chrisdenson03</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid played with maximum effort in a Jamboree style weekend where Plant City struggled with Lakeland HS early but had a great game to take down Bartow. Denson was the man with a plan as the Coastal Carolina commit showed off great Dual Threat play.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1131791' first='Dathan' last='Glover'] | ATH | 2025 | Santa Fe | @dathan_g3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most slept on prospects in the Polk area has to get eyes on him this season. He's the leader for the Hawks on both sides, finishing week 0 with 4 touchdowns including an 87 yard pick 6.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='445321' first='Jaelyn' last='Powell'] | RB | 2027 | The First Academy&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great way to start the season for one of the premier 2027 running back prospects in the state. He totaled 4 TDs to kick off the new season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1250080' first='Hanoj' last='Williams'] | WR | 2027 | Timber Creek |&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid dominated at our PRZ camp this offseason and with stats like he had in game one, it's for sure Williams has a bright future. He recorded 6 receptions for 156 YARDS and 2 TD's.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
