Drew’s Prospect Watch: Fast-Risers Coaches Should Track 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QBs | 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Elijah Nickerson | QB | Lake Nona</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Winter Park transfer who has been steady all offseason while leading Lake Nona to the team title. Played within the offense, made the right reads, and showed consistency throughout the event. A 2028 name worth tracking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Noah Patton | QB | Venice |</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recent move to Venice puts Patton in a strong situation. Physically checks early boxes with clean mechanics, good touch, and the ability to throw off-platform. This offense should test his timing and command moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ATH / WR | 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='499514' first='Jordan' last='Donahoo'] | WR | Oviedo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reliable target all offseason. Really not sure how this kid doesn't have more national attention but that's Florida for you. Uses his 6-4 frame well, wins in space, and consistently came down with contested reps. Key piece in Prime8's 18U championship run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='476396' first='Sebastian' last='Lora'] | WR | Lake Nona</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quickly adjusted to the sunshine state, Lora is the real deal. Dynamic athlete with speed and sharp route movement. Is really starting to pick up national recruitment steam as he gears up for the spring. Productive at multiple events and continues to build momentum heading into the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Defense / Trenches / 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1655458' first='Drew' last='Sapp'] | EDGE | Lakeland&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Legit EDGE frame at 6-3, 245. This has to be the fastest rising prospect in the state. Quick first step, strong power conversion, and disruptive off the edge. Shows versatility and impact on both sides of the ball. Could likely finish as a four star prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1671176' first='Charles' last='Woodson Jr.'] | DB | Lake Nona&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When you read the last name it generates expectations and this kid has it. Equipped with confidence and strong instincts. Good ball tracking, reliable tackler, and already showing the IQ of a next-level defensive back. Offers are coming for a reason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
