Did you ever wonder what class rankings do for student/athletes?   In the recent Prep Redzone Florida Class of 2028 junior players rankings, the prospects that were listed – and added – were recognized by fans, teammates, opponents and most importantly colleges and universities across the country.   With the exposure that we have continued to provide in this state, prospects are not only being discovered by coaches, but also having the opportunity to get ranked and added to the watch list.   Because we update and move players up on performance, we provide the opportunity for ALL football players – in every class – to get the attention that they deserve.   While many are still not on the radar, we have the chance to reward those prospects on performance – no matter the success of the team. This is individual recognition.   Today, our final update of the August update cycle includes [player_tooltip player_id='2222280' first='Tori' last='Turner'] (RB/LB, Belleview), [player_tooltip player_id='2225115' first='Travarous' last='Bain'] (DB, Miami Northwestern), [player_tooltip player_id='2324959' first='Travion' last='Henry'] (EDGE/LB, Orlando Oak Ridge), [player_tooltip player_id='2237243' first='Treiy' last='Crenshaw'] (WR/DB, Santa Rosa Beach South Walton), [player_tooltip player_id='1673959' first='Trevor' last='Thomas'] (OL/DL, Zephyrhills Christian), Tristan Carriel (OL, Pembroke Pines West Broward), [player_tooltip player_id='2228606' first='Tyler' last='Pierre-Louis'] (OL, North Miami Beach), [player_tooltip player_id='2325831' first='Tyler' last='Tindal'] (LB, Miami Christopher Columbus), [player_tooltip player_id='2209547' first='Tyreek' last='Harris'] (WR, Pembroke Pines West Broward), [player_tooltip player_id='2237231' first='Tyson' last='Abdullah'] (EDGE, Jacksonville Bolles) and [player_tooltip player_id='2324955' first='Tyson' last='Hammond'] (LB, Lakeland Christian).   The 2028 additions also feature [player_tooltip player_id='2241282' first='Tyson' last='Henley'] (Athlete, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons), [player_tooltip player_id='2237265' first='Tyson' last='Lacour'] (QB, Pensacola Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='2220393' first='Walengson' last='Jean'] (LB/LS, Boynton Beach), [player_tooltip player_id='2324958' first='Xavier' last='Henderson'] (WR/Athlete, Land O'Lakes), Xzavion “Zay” Holley Ortiz (WR/DB, Tavares), Zacchaeus “ZK” Kyler (DB, Orlando Dr. Phillips), [player_tooltip player_id='2241277' first='Zackiel' last='De Andrade'] (RB/LB, Ocala Trinity Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='890132' first='Zakhari' last='Greene'] (DB/WR, Jacksonville Trinity Christian), [player_tooltip player_id='2241301' first='Zayden' last='“Chase” Thomas'] (DL, Gulfport Boca Ciega), [player_tooltip player_id='2237278' first='Damarion' last='Phillips'] (DL/OL, Avon Park), [player_tooltip player_id='2222272' first='Damien' last='Darling'] (WR/TE, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons), [player_tooltip player_id='1635794' first='Darrin' last='Jackson'] (DB, Tampa Hillsborough) and [player_tooltip player_id='2324916' first='Darvante' last='Brown'] (LB/EDGE, Orlando Edgewater).   College coaches are now watching prospects that were added like [player_tooltip player_id='2241287' first='Dash' last='Morado'] (TE, Pensacola Booker T. Washington), [player_tooltip player_id='2237309' first='David' last='“Deuce” Wimberley'] (DB, Apopka), [player_tooltip player_id='2225118' first='David' last='Cesar'] (DB/WR, Miami Norland), [player_tooltip player_id='2220392' first='Davion' last='Jackson'] (WR, St. Petersburg Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='984586' first='De'Jay' last='Davenport'] (WR/DB, Panama City Bay), [player_tooltip player_id='2228607' first='Deagan' last='McCoy'] (QB, Niceville), [player_tooltip player_id='2325017' first='Deshawn' last='Thompson'] (WR/DB, Davie Nova), [player_tooltip player_id='1926025' first='Dontavious' last='Kinchens'] (QB/Athlete, Miami Northwestern), [player_tooltip player_id='2222275' first='Dwyane' last='Garcia'] (DL, Miami Lakes Barbara Goleman), [player_tooltip player_id='2237234' first='Eastyn' last='Billingsley'] (WR/DB, Tampa Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='2324949' first='Edrick' last='“C.J.” Hall'] (QB, Melbourne) and [player_tooltip player_id='2237267' first='Eli' last='Llanes'] (WR/DB, Lake Butler Union County).   While he was injured much of 2025, [player_tooltip player_id='2225131' first='Eli' last='Rauls'] (EDGE, Miami Northwestern) is certainly someone that everyone will be watching this year.  They will also be checking in on prospects [player_tooltip player_id='2267967' first='Elijah' last='Adams'] (DL, Apopka), [player_tooltip player_id='2220400' first='Elijah' last='Martin'] (DL, Jacksonville North Florida Educational Institute), [player_tooltip player_id='2325019' first='Elijah' last='Thomas'] (DL, Altamonte Springs Lake Brantley), [player_tooltip player_id='2267970' first='Gabriel' last='Brinson Jr.'] (LB, Merritt Island), [player_tooltip player_id='2237308' first='Gage' last='Wilson'] (WR/DB, Jensen Beach), [player_tooltip player_id='2237249' first='Gavin' last='Ganter'] (WR, Fort Lauderdale Calvary Christian), [player_tooltip player_id='2228657' first='Giovanno' last='Clayton'] (TE/LB, Holiday Anclote), [player_tooltip player_id='2324946' first='Graeson' last='Garcia'] (LB, Pensacola Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='2324994' first='Grayson' last='Miller'] (OL, Parrish Community), [player_tooltip player_id='2225123' first='Iran' last='Hollis'] (EDGE/TE, Davie Western) and [player_tooltip player_id='2324956' first='Isaiah' last='Harper'] (OL, Lakeland Victory Christian).   When Prep Redzone Florida covers the state, we do it from top to bottom. The Panhandle, which rarely gets the attention it deserves has players like Pensacola West Florida Edge/linebacker [player_tooltip player_id='2220402' first='Caydein' last='McNeil'], who is an underclassman that is fast rising.   While Pensacola and that region of the state has numerous 2028 players, other areas are also showcasing plenty of talent – such as [player_tooltip player_id='2237235' first='Cayden' last='Burnside'] (Athlete, St. Augustine Tocoi Creek), Cocoa transfer [player_tooltip player_id='1258687' first='Cayman' last='Varis'] (Athlete, Melbourne Central Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='2237248' first='Chace' last='Gaertner'] (DB/RB, Key West), [player_tooltip player_id='2241285' first='Chris' last='Jacobs'] (Athlete, Tampa Catholic), [player_tooltip player_id='2237261' first='Christian' last='Jackson'] (EDGE/LB, Clearwater), [player_tooltip player_id='2237268' first='Christian' last='McGowan'] (EDGE/DL, Jacksonville Mandarin), [player_tooltip player_id='2241280' first='Clarence' last='(Gil) Gillis Jr.'] (LB, Hollywood McArthur) and [player_tooltip player_id='2220412' first='Colin' last='McClure'] (WR/DB, Palm Harbor University).
