<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Florida has long been a hotbed for high school football talent, annually producing some of the nation's top linebacker prospects.&nbsp; Florida athletes are known for their speed, agility, and raw athleticism; these running backs have made names for themselves and caught the attention of college coaches and scouts.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>These players are talented and have college-level ability. Some have a few offers, but all have the ability to play college football at some level.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>There are some big-time, highly rated prospects and several sleeper prospects who should all be getting looks at the next level. This list is full of stud prospects.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Prep Redzone Florida will always promote every player, hoping they get the opportunity to play college football at the next level.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>1. [player_tooltip player_id='1251718' first='Michael' last='McClenton'] – Ocoee High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'0", 225 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 219 tackles, 46 tackles for loss, 19 sacks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: McClenton is the prototypical downhill thumper. His motor never stops, and his ability to read and react makes him a nightmare for opposing offenses. At 225 pounds, he brings an impressive blend of size and power, making him dominant in the box. His 46 TFLs and 19 sacks are a testament to his relentless pursuit and playmaking ability. Michael's instincts are elite, and he's the type of player you build a defense around.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2. [player_tooltip player_id='1583958' first='Antoine' last='Sharp'] – Palm Beach Central High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'2", 220 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Stats Summary: 133 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 4.5 sacks</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Sharp is a rangy, athletic linebacker who excels in space. His 6'2” frame allows him to cover tight ends and backs effectively, and his lone interception shows he can hold his own in coverage. Sharp's blend of size and lateral quickness makes him a versatile defender, whether it's plugging gaps or rushing the passer. He's a sideline-to-sideline player with the tools to make an immediate impact at the next level.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>3. Tyrell Snelling – Miami High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'10", 205 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 112 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 3 sacks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Snelling is a true playmaker with a nose for the football. He's fearless in attacking gaps and making plays behind the line of scrimmage. His 21 tackles for loss are a reflection of his explosiveness and instincts. Tyrell's quick first step and high football IQ allow him to maximize his skill set. He's the heart and soul of any defense he's a part of.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>4. [player_tooltip player_id='1263705' first='Rasheem' last='Turner Jr.'] – Seminole High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'11", 205 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 101 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 7 sacks.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Turner Jr. is a high-energy defender who plays with exceptional pad level and leverage. He consistently disrupts plays in the backfield and brings an impressive combination of speed and physicality. His ability to close on ball carriers and finish tackles is second to none. With 17 TFLs and 7 sacks, Turner has proven to be a dynamic presence both in run support and as a pass rusher.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>5. Mason Moore – University High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'1", 200 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 97 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 5 sacks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Moore is a consistent, dependable linebacker who does the little things right. He's fundamentally sound and rarely out of position. His 6'1” frame allows him to maintain leverage against bigger blockers, and his closing speed is solid. While his stats don't jump off the page, his discipline and leadership make him the glue of any defensive unit.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>6. Cole Wetherington – Venice High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'2", 220 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 92 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 3 sacks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Wetherington is a physical linebacker who thrives in downhill situations. At 6'2”, 220 lbs, he's built to control the box and disrupt the line of scrimmage. His 92 tackles reflect his reliability as a tackler, and his strength allows him to shed blocks effectively. Cole is a player who brings toughness and consistency to every snap.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>7. Kane Judson – Venice High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'1", 200 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 87 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Judson is a versatile linebacker who plays with excellent effort and awareness. His ability to dissect the play and position himself correctly stands out. He's a coach's dream in terms of effort and dependability, and his high motor ensures he's always around the football.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>8. [player_tooltip player_id='1209059' first='Zaiden' last='Greene'] – Flagler Palm Coast High</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'8", 195 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Stats Summary: 85 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 3 sacks</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluation: Greene is an undersized linebacker with a big chip on his shoulder. His quickness and low center of gravity allow him to evade blockers and make plays in the backfield. With 11 TFLs, he's proven to be disruptive despite his stature. Zaiden's work ethic and determination make him a leader on and off the field.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
