When it comes to recruiting, college coaches follow nearly everything when it comes to showcasing high school talent.   Because Prep Redzone Florida promotes more prospects than any other source – in every class – colleges and universities have made this website and the social media, where we post thousands of student/athletes with their film and other information, a priority.   When we promote prospects, it isn't only with a name, position and school. With Drew Johnson and Marcus Benjamin giving you evaluations on prospects along with the team profiles and ranking updates every two months, we give those coaches a chance to discover talent that they may never knew existed.   The service that we provide goes way beyond the high star-rated talent. We have currently listed over 2,000 players in our database – with the 2029 sophomores getting ready for their first statewide exposure in late winter.   In the meantime we will continue to bring you talent every day – in some form.   While our subscribers already know the work we out in year-round in a state that has many recruiting and media sites, our objective is to get those fans to see what we do to provide exposure and information.   Two weeks ago, we updated our 2028 rankings and we continue to add to that list.   Today, we have several more Florida players added to this junior list – such as [player_tooltip player_id='2222268' first='Kevin' last='“K.J.” Anderson'] (EDGE/LB, Oviedo), [player_tooltip player_id='2220372' first='Kevin' last='Diaz'] (K/P, Naples), [player_tooltip player_id='2237279' first='Kylan' last='Philpot'] (OL/DL, Tampa Berkeley Prep), [player_tooltip player_id='2237257' first='Laadan' last='Hodge'] (LB, Orlando Boone), [player_tooltip player_id='2326222' first='Lashan' last='Romer'] (DB, Miami Lakes Barbara Goleman), [player_tooltip player_id='2324943' first='Malachi' last='Fuller'] (RB, Lake Worth Park Vista), [player_tooltip player_id='2220421' first='Marcus' last='“Mari” Saintil'] (DB, St. Cloud), [player_tooltip player_id='2237245' first='Markel' last='Etienne'] (DB/WR, North Palm Beach Benjamin), [player_tooltip player_id='2220367' first='Marquel' last='Brooks Jr.'] (WR/DB, Miami Carol City), [player_tooltip player_id='2220395' first='Mason' last='Kennedy'] (OL, Tampa Catholic) and [player_tooltip player_id='2324998' first='Mason' last='Newton'] (EDGE/LB, Plant City Durant).
