Central Florida Midseason Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1779029' first='Damian' last='Moore'] | RB | 2026 | Edgewater | @Damian_Moore7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 634 rushing yards, 11 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore continues to be the engine for Edgewater's offense. The 6-0, 200-pound back runs with power and balance, wearing down defenses as the game goes on. He went off against Winter Park — rushing for over 240 yards and 4 total touchdowns. A tough, physical back who's producing like a Power Five-caliber prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1263710' first='Makael' last='Williams'] | RB | 2027 | Pace | @MakaelWilliams2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams currently leads the state in rushing and shows no signs of slowing down. His blend of size, burst, and patience allows him to attack open lanes with purpose. He's been consistent all season long and looks like one of the premier young backs in Florida right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kamari Smith | RB | 2027 | Lake Wales | @D1kamari2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a downhill bruiser for Lake Wales, a one-cut back who punishes defenders at the point of contact. He's carried the load for the Highlanders and continues to rise among Polk County's best young talents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Curtis “CJ” Dewberry | ATH | 2026 | Lake Brantley | @C4Dew</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Originally known for his defensive play, Dewberry has emerged as a weapon on offense. He rushed for 63 yards and 3 TDs and caught 3 passes for 30 yards in a 43–7 win over Tohopekaliga. He's become the do-it-all type every team wants in their locker room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zi'rieck Roberts | LB | 2026 | Evans | @zirieckroberts_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With 80 total tackles, 11 TFLs, and 2 sacks through six games, Roberts has been a defensive nightmare for opposing offenses. His ability to diagnose plays and explode into the backfield sets him apart. One of the most productive defenders in the state right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kyle Olson | LB | 2026 | Oviedo | @KyleO_2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Olson leads the Lions with 53 tackles and 6 TFLs, including a 14-tackle performance in a win over Hagerty. He's a consistent presence and plays with great anticipation and toughness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sebastian Johnson | QB | 2026 | Mainland | @Cbas_Johnson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson's arm talent is undeniable. The 6-2, 185-pound junior has thrown for nearly 1,400 yards and 10 TDs while leading Mainland to a 4-2 record. He's got a live arm, strong frame, and high IQ — just another overlooked signal-caller making noise in Central Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
