Spring Standouts: Notable Performers Making Noise

[player_tooltip player_id='1671660' first='Kamauri' last='Whitfield'] | DB/WR | 2027 | TFA | @Bamwhitfield   Whitfield had his coming out party while racking up 7 catches for 100+ yards and a touchdown on offense while also making impact plays on defense (2 solo tackles, 1 TFL). He's one of the rising two-way talents in the 2027 class and looks ready to lead this fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='400864' first='Landen' last='Holley'] | QB | 2027 | TFA | @LandenHolleyQB   Holley is living up to the hype as a top national QB in his class. He delivered dimes on the run, including a 75-yard TD, and showed full command of the offense. He can run it, throw it, and lead—this fall could be special.   [player_tooltip player_id='1581696' first='Michael' last='Kearney III'] | QB | 2026 | Winter Haven | @BelieveInK3   Kearney showed why he's the guy for the Blue Devils. The athletic rising senior scored 3 touchdowns and kept defenses guessing all night. He's still growing as a pure QB, but the tools are there for Coach White to build around.   Omari Hill | ATH | 2027 | The Villages | @Omari2wavy   Hill had 2 touchdowns in the spring game and kept his squad in it until the end. He's a sure-handed target who consistently finds open grass—expect him to be a go-to weapon this fall.   Nasir Taylor | ATH | 2026 | Specially Fit Academy | @Naz_lifestyle   Taylor exploded for 10 catches, 228 yards, and a score in a huge performance against Calvary Christian. He's a name you'll want to keep an eye on.    [player_tooltip player_id='1266273' first='Kingston' last='Shaw'] | LB | 2026 | TFA | @KingstonShaw15   The Illinois commit showed why he's one of the most feared rising defenders in the state. Shaw caused problems all night off the edge and demanded constant attention. He's in for a monster season.   Vario McBride | ATH | 2028 | @hbk_dmarrr   The 2028 prospect already has a college offer and you can see why. He had a pick-six and a big-time fumble recovery to help Winter Haven seal the win over Davenport. He's a future star.   Karon Palmer Jr | QB | 2027 | East Ridge | @Karonpalmerjr   Palmer looked smooth and confident throwing it around during the spring. You can tell the work's been put in m. A strong arm, good ball placement and he brings some natural athleticism to the table. If the progression continues, he's in line for a breakout year.   BJ Alston | ATH | 2026 | Lake Wales | @alston_bj   Alston was a load to bring down in short-yardage spots, powering in for tough goal-line carries in a win over Fort Myers. At 6-0, 240, he brings toughness and grit to this Highlanders offense.   Raeshaun Pugh | ATH | 2027 | Lake Wales | @daarealduce   Pugh sealed the deal with a pick-six to close out Fort Myers. Already collecting offers, he's physical, versatile, and ready to level up this fall in the secondary.   Jeau Pierre | DL | 2027 | TFA | @PierreJeau   A young defensive lineman with grown-man strength, Pierre flashed throughout the spring game. He's tough to move and brings serious upside in the trenches.   Tratyn Glidewell | QB | 2028 | Milton | @D1Treyski   Hickson Jr. showed breakout ability as a gadget piece. His quick acceleration and ability to break off long runs in the open field give this offense another dimension.   Omari Hill | ATH | 2027 | The Villages | @Omari2wavy   Hill had 2 touchdowns in the spring game and kept his squad in it until the end. He's a sure-handed target who consistently finds open grass—expect him to be a go-to weapon this fall.

He's tough to move and brings serious upside in the trenches.   Tratyn Glidewell | QB | 2028 | Milton | @D1Treyski   Glidewell put on a show Friday night, running for 3 touchdowns and throwing for another. The rising freshman looks like the spark Milton's offense needed.   Bryson Jones | ATH | 2026 | Santa Fe Catholic | @BeastlyB9   Jones played fast and fearless—grabbing an interception and racking up tackles in space. He's setting himself up for a huge senior campaign.   Omyry Hickson Jr | ATH | 2026 | @OmyryH   Hickson Jr. showed breakout ability as a gadget piece. His quick acceleration and ability to break off long runs in the open field give this offense another dimension.
