<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's an 82-mile stretch of road that cuts right through the southern part of Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Small businesses and plenty of farmland that have long served as a haven for truckers who carry everything from citrus to sugar and all sorts of fruits and vegetables.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are no sprawling malls or major destinations – other than fishing and other mom and pop stores and businesses that have long been a lifeline to so many communities. It is indeed small town living at its very finest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clewiston, Moore Haven, Lake Placid, Sebring and Avon Park have always been hotbeds of talent and today we will bring you some of the football players who have these schools special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 - Garique Allen, LB, 5'11, 200, Clewiston – 4.2 GPA. </strong>This gifted junior was among the leading tacklers this season for the Tigers.

As a receiver at tight end or defensive lineman, he put up big numbers and gave the Terriers someone who led by example.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17639763/Aaryn-Askew">https://www.hudl.com/profile/17639763/Aaryn-Askew</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 – Damarcus Brown, Athlete, 5'7, 170, Lake Placid. </strong>As a runner who had over 900 yards and five touchdowns or on the defensive side of the ball with 35 tackles and two sacks, he wall definitely a force.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22955083/Damarcus-Brown">https://www.hudl.com/profile/22955083/Damarcus-Brown</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 – Laquest Brown, QB/DB, 5'11, 175, Sebring. </strong>Another major impact on both sides of the ball that helped the Blue Streaks once again advance to the state playoffs. Over 1,300 yards of total offense and 12 touchdowns certainly gave this team a huge spark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/23623989/Laquest-Brown">https://www.hudl.com/profile/23623989/Laquest-Brown</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 - Zhaire Davis, RB, 5'7, 170, Clewiston. </strong>Finished with nearly 1,000 yards this past season including a 311-yard performance against West Palm Beach Oxbridge Academy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/26799789/Zhaire-Davis">https://www.hudl.com/profile/26799789/Zhaire-Davis</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 – Tayvion Jones, RB/S, 5'9, 150, Avon Park – 3.2 GPA. </strong>Nearly 800 yards rushing, six touchdowns and several key plays as a running back on offense – and his leadership throughout the year was truly huge in the Red Devils winning six games and taking home the district title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18760885/Tayvion-Jones">https://www.hudl.com/profile/18760885/Tayvion-Jones</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 - Tykeem Paseler, QB, 6'4, 150, Moore Haven – 3.0 GPA. </strong>This was a true producer on the offensive side of the ball with 20 touchdowns and over 1,200 yards of total offense. Just a junior, this is a prospect that we will keep an eye on during the off-season and into the 2026 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/27043965/Tykeem-Paseler">https://www.hudl.com/profile/27043965/Tykeem-Paseler</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 – Tyler Slate, LB/TE, 6'2, 225, Avon Park – 3.8 GPA. </strong>Talk about a defensive force, this is indeed someone who stepped up all season for the Red Devils. Nearly 90 tackles and several plays that helped to turn games around. His leadership was also valuable during the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TAPE: <strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19404452/Tyler-Slate?">https://www.hudl.com/profile/19404452/Tyler-Slate?</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 – Zechariah Taylor, LB, 5'10, 195, Sebring. </strong>While there we some impressive and gifted seniors on the team this year, the underclassmen were also quality and made plays. Whether it was causing and recovering fumbles, making tackles and coming up with quarterback sacks, this is a player that more than stepped up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/20306671/Zechariah-Taylor">https://www.hudl.com/profile/20306671/Zechariah-Taylor</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2026 - [player_tooltip player_id='1372066' first='Monterrius' last='Williams'], WR/CB, 5'10, 175, Lake Placid – 3.1 GPA. </strong>One of the most productive players this program has had over the past three years.
