<p><strong><em>Kadin Flores – WR, Mainland High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'0”, 185 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 35 receptions for 744 yards (21.2 avg), 65 YAC, 8 TD (12 GP)</em></strong><br><strong><em>Offers: West Virginia, Connecticut, UNLV, Florida Atlantic, Middle Tennessee State, Bethune-Cookman</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Flores is a polished receiver with strong vertical ability and consistent production. Averaging over 21 yards per catch, he stretches the field naturally and tracks the ball well downfield. His build allows him to handle contact, and he shows the ability to separate on intermediate and deep routes while generating chunk plays.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Flores projects as a reliable outside receiver with explosive-play upside. His yards-per-catch average highlights his big-play capability, and continued development in route nuance and physicality at the catch point could elevate him further at the next level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Cameron Fuse – WR, Lakeland High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'2”, 185 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 30 receptions for 587 yards (19.5 avg), 54 YAC, 6 TD (14 GP)</em></strong><br><strong><em>Offers: Notre Dame, Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Tennessee, Miami (FL), Florida State, South Florida, Pittsburgh, SMU, FIU, Auburn, Missouri, Kansas State, FAU, East Carolina, Liberty, UMass</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Fuse possesses ideal size and length for the perimeter and shows strong ball-tracking ability down the field. His nearly 20-yard average per reception reflects his vertical threat capability. He runs with smooth stride length and has the frame to continue adding strength without sacrificing speed.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Fuse projects as a high-ceiling outside receiver who can develop into a true difference-maker. With refinement in route detail and release technique against press coverage, his physical tools and production suggest significant long-term upside.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Mario Agnant – ATH/WR, Hollywood Hills High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'0”, 165 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 30 receptions for 496 yards (16.5 avg), 45 YAC, 5 TD (10 GP)</em></strong><br><strong><em>Recognition: Broward 7A-5A Football Offense Honorable Mention (South Florida Sun Sentinel, December 2025)</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Agnant is an athletic playmaker who brings versatility to the offense. He shows quick acceleration and fluid movement skills, allowing him to create separation in space. His athletic profile suggests flexibility to line up in multiple spots and contribute beyond just traditional wide receiver duties.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Agnant projects as a dynamic offensive weapon with positional versatility. Adding strength and continuing to refine his route tree will help maximize his athletic traits, but his recognition and production already highlight his impact ability.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Levi Thomas – WR, St. Thomas Aquinas High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 5'10”, 170 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 25 receptions for 391 yards (15.6 avg), 62 YAC, 5 TD (9 GP)</em></strong><br><strong><em>Offers: Minnesota, California, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Purdue, Western Kentucky, Western Michigan, Georgia State, Middle Tennessee, Florida Atlantic</em></strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Thomas is a quick, efficient receiver who thrives in space. His film shows his vision and elusiveness once the ball is secured. He shows sharp route breaks and dependable hands, making him effective on timing concepts and underneath routes.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Thomas projects as a slot-capable receiver who can move the chains consistently. Continued growth in play strength and vertical route consistency will expand his role, but his polish and ability after the catch already stand out.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Jaden Parks – WR, Mainland High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'4”, 185 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 22 receptions for 366 yards (16.6 avg), 59 YAC, 2 TD (9 GP)</em></strong><br><strong><em>Offers: Pitt, Bethune-Cookman, FAU, Western Kentucky, UNLV</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Parks brings rare size to the receiver position with a long, athletic frame. He presents a large catch radius and can win above the rim in contested situations. His stride length allows him to cover ground quickly, making him a matchup challenge for defensive backs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Parks projects as an outside receiver with strong upside due to his frame and physical traits. Increased consistency in finishing plays and expanding his route detail could unlock significant production as he continues to mature physically.</p>

<p><strong><em>Scouting Report:</em></strong><br>Rhoden is a two-way athlete with good length and fluid movement skills. Offensively, he shows solid body control and awareness in space. His ability to contribute on both sides of the ball speaks to his athleticism and football IQ.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Analysis:</em></strong><br>Rhoden projects as a versatile athlete who could develop on either side of the ball. Continued refinement as a route runner and added strength will enhance his receiver profile, but his all-around skill set provides flexibility moving forward.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><em>Elijah Christian – WR, Manatee High</em></strong><br><strong><em>Height/Weight: 6'1”, 195 lbs</em></strong><br><strong><em>Season Stats: 20 receptions for 312 yards (15.6 avg), 2 TD (12 GP)</em></strong><br><strong><em>Offers: Wagner, Toledo</em></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><strong>Scouting Report:</strong></em><br>Christian is a physically built receiver who uses his size effectively at the catch point. He shows the ability to shield defenders and secure contested passes. His frame suggests strength through contact and the potential to develop into an all-around top target.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em><strong>Analysis:</strong></em><br>Christian projects as an outside receiver with physical upside. Improving separation quickness and creating more yards after the catch will elevate his impact, but his size and catch-point ability already provide a strong foundation.</p>
