<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='419128' first='Brysen' last='Wright'] | WR | 2028 | Mandarin | @BrysenWright</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The OT7 Offensive MVP showed why he's one of the most electric young receivers in the country. Wright dominated every matchup, making acrobatic grabs and crisp routes look routine at his age. Power 4 interest is rolling in. His freshman campaign was elite, and the ceiling is sky-high after this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368296' first='Larry' last='Miles'] | WR | 2026 | Jones | @Larry1miles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the most polished and college-ready receivers still available in the 2026 class. Miles continues to show he's the real deal—tight routes, soft hands, and a knack for sitting down in zones. He made multiple tough grabs at OT7 and is clearly trending toward more offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>A'mir Sears | ATH | 2028 | West Broward | @Amirsears2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-1, 175, Sears is one of the more dynamic two-way athletes in Florida's 2028 class. His tip-drill interception was one of the weekend's best highlights. Whether it's locking down receivers or snagging contested catches on offense, this kid continues to flash star-level traits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Julis Jones Jr | WR | 2027 | St. Thomas Aquinas | @JulisJonesJR</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones Jr. showed out at UA Next Future 50, including a jaw-dropping end-zone snag to force OT which grabbed everyone's attention. The 4-star receiver got open consistently against top competition and made his case as one of the premier 2027 wideouts nationally.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='283720' first='Julio' last='Santiago'] | WR | 2027 | [player_tooltip player_id='1640270' first='St.' last='Augustine'] | @JulioSanti7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Santiago has made a strong case for a breakout junior year. Santiago's quicks and suddenness stands out as he beats defenders clean off the line. Whether it's underneath or downfield, he's proving to be a tough cover.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sergarion Gunsby | ATH | 2027 | Vanguard | @sergarionGunsby</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gunsby plays with a rare mix of size and twitch at 6-1, 198 pounds. Dominated reps at DB and earned buzz with his technique and physicality. With more polish, he could blossom into a true nickel/LB hybrid—already one of Florida's more intriguing defensive chess pieces in ‘27.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Robert Ortega Jr | ATH | 2026 | McArthur | @robortegajr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No flash—just production. Ortega Jr. continues to show why he's a go-to guy for quarterbacks on the 7v7 circuit. Quick, savvy, and always in the right spot. A natural slot receiver with high IQ and sure hands, he's one of the more underappreciated weapons in South Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
