<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>South Florida continues to develop some of the country's top players, and as September wraps up, more than a few are making noise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five to watch as the season progresses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124098"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaddfabb1628"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The talented athlete now at Piper High School bends well off the edge and relentlessly pursues the football. The opportunistic defender also knows how to cause turnovers, as he had a timely punch out of the football against McArthur that led to a score. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis has a quick first step and reacts rapidly to the ball. He is a good form tackler and fills gaps quickly to stop the run. Against McArthur, he finished with 10 tackles, 3 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early Season Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22989180/6a9e4605347e12181b861c2e">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/22989180/6a9e4605347e12181b861c2e</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382240"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aaddfabb1689"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The rising QB has the team off to a 2-1 start, with the one loss to nationally ranked Chaminade-Madonna. Milcent puts a nice touch on the deep ball and keeps his head up when scrambling to find receivers downfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Broward County athlete steps up well in the pocket and makes sharp throws. His decision-making is ahead of schedule for a high school signal-caller, and he has an innate ability to keep plays alive when all looks lost. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early Season Highlights:<a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26051222/6a9ccdd2397e45ca034726b8">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26051222/6a9ccdd2397e45ca034726b8</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Amauri Rogers","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aadf0829b99c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rogers is a productive linebacker who plays well in coverage and is strong against the run. He moves laterally well and can shed blocks to get to ball carriers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The junior backer takes good pursuit angles and can get sideline to sideline if needed. He fills gaps quickly and is reliable to be in position to make a play. In a week three 17-14 loss to Coconut Creek, Rogers tallied 14 tackles, two sacks, and five tackles for loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early Season Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26870419/6a932b5c4e224e9f7b36581e">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/26870419/6a932b5c4e224e9f7b36581e</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["205736"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6aadf0829b9f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The strong-armed quarterback moves well inside and outside the pocket. Spaeder fires the football accurately while keeping his feet set and staying on his back foot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior has shown the ability to look off safeties and throw to open receivers, and he can fire strikes to his playmakers over the middle and to the sideline. Spaeder is also mobile enough to keep linebackers honest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notable Offers: Akron, Arkansas, Georgia State, UAB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early Season Highlights: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18342160/6a972c55362ae6ebef36f1f7">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18342160/6a972c55362ae6ebef36f1f7</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
