Grady Paxton, RB- Out-of-Door Academy
5’10 170lbs
Paxton had a very productive season last year for Out-of-Door Academy, he rushed for 525 yards and six touchdowns and averaged 5.6 yards per carry, he is a nice athlete with abilityto play on both sides of the ball. As a running back he has speed (4.68 40) instincts and patience through the hole and doesn’t waste any motion getting up field. Runs with good pad level and is a north-south style runner.
Aiden Bourque, QB- Father Lopez
5’10 165lbs
Bourque stepped in for Acebal after 2 games when he was injured and lost for the season, Bourque played well he passed for 667 yards, seven touchdowns, and completed over 61% of his passes. He shows good accuracy, gets the ball out quick. He has pretty good mobility and can throw on the run, reads defenses well and distributes the ball where only his receivers can catch it.

Carson Newkirk DE- Hilliard
6’5 200lbs
Newkirk is a prospect that I spotlighted earlier in the season, he was a big part of a defense that helped Niceville go 8-1 this season, he finished with 35 tackles and 6.5 sacks, he has a lot of length being 6’5 in a big wingspan, he shows speed rush abilities to turn the corner and has a high motor, good awareness and closing burst. He’s an intriguing prospect that I think will double his production this season easily.

Ryan Longman, DE/TE- Seffner Christian Academy
6’3 235lbs
Longman is one of the most versatile athletes in the Tampa Bay area, he can play tight end at the next level or defensive end, as a tight end he had 13 catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns, and on the defensive side of the ball he finished with 60 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 5 sacks. He’s an all-around tight end prospect that shows physicality and can block out in space and does a good job using his feet to create movement, has soft hands, and is a savvy route runner. Coaches need to take notice of this athlete quickly.
