<!-- 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.

Through five games this season, he's been one of Tampa's best linebackers, tallying 55 tackles, 18 tackles for a loss, and five sacks! Tate is a prospect who reads plays quickly and gets to the ball in a hurry. He does a good job of sifting through traffic to make tackles and does a good job of squaring up and driving the ball carrier.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16189178/Alex-Tate">https://www.hudl.com/profile/16189178/Alex-Tate</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='1276703' first='Jadon' last='Svendsen'], LB- Bloomingdale High c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'1 205lbs&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Svendsen is a prospect that I spotlighted before the season started, and I thought he would have a good year. He has not disappointed so far. Through four games, Svendsen has registered 31 tackles and an INT. He is a smart backer with very good instincts and flows quickly to the football. He shows the ability to drop into coverage and play passing lanes, reads the run quickly, and shows no hesitation attacking downhill.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18340759/Jadon-Svendsen">https://www.hudl.com/profile/18340759/Jadon-Svendsen</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='598689' first='Ian' last='Olsen'], WR- IMG Acadamey White c/o 25</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6'0 190lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Olsen has been a playmaker throughout the early portion of this season. This season, Olsen has torched opposing defenses with 25 receptions for 511 yards and seven touchdowns. Olsen is a very talented all-around receiver who does a good job adjusting to the ball. He runs good routes and gains instant separation after his release. He can make contested catches, showing strong hands and natural body control.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17225359/Ian-Olsen">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17225359/Ian-Olsen</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='929641' first='Drew' last='Watson'], WR- Beachside High c/o 26</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5'10 170lbs&nbsp;</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Watson is an exciting junior prospect out of Beachside High. Watson has reeled in 23 receptions for 449 yards and five touchdowns this season. Watson is a quick-twitch slot receiver who gets in and out of his breaks quickly and shows the ability to make plays after the catch. He has the speed (4.5 40) to make defenses pay when they make a mistake. He has nice short-area quickness, agility, and burst.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Film: </em></strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18186744/Drew-Watson">https://www.hudl.com/profile/18186744/Drew-Watson</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
