Manatee Has Some Stellar Line Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When the 2025 season came to an end with a tough state playoff loss to Fort Myers Riverdale, Bradenton Manatee head coach <strong>Jacquez Green</strong>, his staff and players knew that the 6-7 record was certainly not what this program expected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even with a challenging schedule that included state and national teams, the Hurricanes believed that they had enough talent to compete and get back to the state semifinals – a place where they ended 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the off-season began and this program looked at some of the returnees, it was the line of scrimmage and tight ends that stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While <strong><em>Prep Redzone Florida</em></strong> will continue to follow this program, adding more players on both sides of the ball, today we bring you some of the big men to keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--
