863Showcase: Notable Top Performers

[player_tooltip player_id='1655458' first='Drew' last='Sapp'] | DE | 2027 | Lakeland | @SappDrew2027   Sapp is really starting to separate himself as a legitimate EDGE prospect. At 6-3, 245 pounds, he already looks the part of a high-level D1 defender. Explodes off the ball with a quick first step and consistently converts speed to power. Lakeland leaned on him across the front, and his versatility shows on film. Constant disruption, strip-sack ability, and even offensive contributions when needed.   Jojo Howard | WR | 2027 | Lakeland | @jokerwondr   Howard is turning into a viral problem with his route-running and big-play ability. Speed kills, and Jojo has plenty of it. Crisp routes, soft hands, and game-breaking speed made him one of the toughest covers at the event.   [player_tooltip player_id='1681626' first='Jaiziah' last='Battle'] | ATH | 2027 | Bartow | @JaiziahBattle   Battle kicked off the offseason with a statement, coming away with four interceptions at Battle Miami and following it up by dominating local competition. Looks more comfortable in his frame and confident in his reads. A true two-way athlete with instincts and ball skills that translate.   Cameron Fuse | WR | 2028 | Lakeland | @D1Cam04   A freak athlete for his age at 6-2, 185. Fuse competes against older players with ease and continues to reshape his frame. One of the nation's top rising 2028 wideouts. Big-time recruiting momentum coming this spring.   Brody Davis | OL | 2027 | Santa Fe | @BrodyDavis08   Davis is putting up grown-man numbers in the weight room and it's translating on the field. Pancake machine with real upside. At 6-2, 285, he's tough, smart, and locked in. One of Polk County's hardest workers in the trenches.   Carmelo Harden | DT | 2028 | Bartow | @Mello_da1_   One of my favorite high-upside linemen in the county. Harden is a nimble, athletic big who moves well for his size and flashes real gap control. As his body continues to develop, he could anchor Bartow's interior for years.   [player_tooltip player_id='1708182' first='Kash' last='Johnson'] | DE | Victory Christian | @KashJohnson29   Johnson has quickly become a reliable varsity contributor. Strength, length, and a nonstop motor allow him to impact both the run and pass game. Development trajectory is strong — real upside here.   Andrew Morrison | WR | 2027 | Victory Christian | @Andrewmorrison0   A hidden gem. Morrison's 6-3 frame and hands give him legitimate upside. Still refining his movement and burst out of breaks, but continued development could unlock a strong long-term ceiling.   Kamari Smith | RB | 2027 | Lake Wales | @D1kamari2   Arguably the most complete running back in Polk County. Burst, vision, second-level acceleration, and pass-catching versatility all stand out. The offense looks different without him. Recent D1 offer confirms the trajectory.   Ahmad Watts | DB | 2027 | Lakeland | @D1mod06   One of my favorite defensive backs at the showcase. Consistently locked receivers down and stacked quality reps. Will be a major piece in Lakeland's secondary this season.   [player_tooltip player_id='2109959' first='Reese' last='Nunez'] | LB | Victory Christian | @Reese_Nunez6   A rising 2028 linebacker with physical tools and football IQ. Explosive, versatile, and locked in this offseason. Can play multiple spots in the front seven and projects as a future defensive leader.   Major McBath | WR | 2027 | Auburndale | @Majormcb   Sticky hands, crisp routes, and big-play potential. McBath is building confidence and positioning himself for a breakout offseason ahead of a crucial senior year.   [player_tooltip player_id='1258720' first='Takeo' last='Edwards'] | ATH | 2027 | Auburndale | @edwards_takeo   Big-play threat every time he touches the ball. Straight-line speed, acceleration, and instincts jump out. Younger prospect who already flashes college-level traits with a strong long-term projection.   Jayden Wall | WR | 2029 | LCS | @JaydenW__14   One of the top underclassmen wide receivers I've tracked this offseason. Strong hands, large catch radius, and excellent ball tracking. True go-up-and-get-it target.   Ricky Berto | WR | 2028 | Auburndale | @Ricky_Berto1   My top route-running riser of the day. Berto was cooking defenders and consistently creating separation. Left the event firmly on my watch list.   Donmari Earby | ATH | 2028 | Victory Christian | @earbydonmari   An ace card for the VCA offense. Versatile athlete who can line up in the slot, outside, or take carries out of the backfield. Creative usage potential is high.   Ben Hall | DB | 2029 | Auburndale | @Ben544054837561   Lockdown 2029 DB and JV Player of the Year. Hall stacked valuable reps against older competition and held his own consistently.   [player_tooltip player_id='2079467' first='Tyson' last='Anderson'] | ATH | 2028 | Haines City | @Tysanderson863   This kid is going to be special. Third time seeing him, and the frame plus athleticism are undeniable. With the right development steps, he has high-level potential.   Jayden Freeman | DB | 2029 | LCS | @_getlikej2   Made me a believer. Reliable presence in coverage who isn't afraid to come downhill and tackle. Strong foundation for a young DB.   [player_tooltip player_id='689616' first='Frankie' last='Lastinger'] | DL/OL | 2027 | Fort Meade | @frankiethegoat2   One of the county's most improved trench players. At 6-1, 250, flashes powerful hands and a quick get-off. Trending toward meaningful snaps this fall.
