The Main Event Camp — Notable Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Main Event Camp took place at Lakeland Christian High on Saturday with more than 100 prospects from various schools in Polk, Hillsborough, and beyond in attendance. Participants had the chance to undergo test drills, including the 40-yard, and be coached by local position coaches before the highly anticipated 1v1 session. Redzone Scout Drew Johnson identified several DOG standouts which made for a fun end period. Let's see who made a name for themselves at this year's Main Event Camp.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MVP</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Daionte Hicks | ATH | 2026 | Buchholz | @DJ_Hicks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The most elite wide receiver at the Main Event camp was Hicks who made his way down to represent Buchholz High. This kid was electric and went nearly unguarded in the 1v1 period. Hicks showed off great twitch and solid hands to take home the WR MVP award.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581905' first='Jadarius' last='Dobie'] | RB | 2026 | Lakeland | @dobie_jadarius</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure if there is a more legit running back prospect in the area in the 2026 class than [player_tooltip player_id='1581905' first='Jadarius' last='Dobie']. Every time I see this kid he looks even better in his frame and overall play when going through drills or 1v1 sessions. Fresh off a dominant spring period, look out for Dobie to bring in some offers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1368321' first='Elijah' last='Dias'] | LB | 2026 | Auburndale | @twin_frmpolk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top linebackers in the class made an appearance at the Main Event camp where he once again locked down running backs in the 1v1 period and looked solid going through his drills. If this kid can put on 15 pounds, he can be a P4 backer though he is a USF commit. Keep an eye on Dias.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Robbie Gaskin | LB | 2025 | Auburndale | @Robbie2goated</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gaskin can do anything on the football field. He competed at linebacker this weekend at the Main Event camp which is the position where I think he can play college football at. He's a headhunter on the gridiron with a good IQ he uses from also being able to play the QB position which he did for years. Smart kid who's ready to put it on the line this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Klein Giles | DB | 2025 | Ridge | @k1eing</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talk about a confident lockdown defensive back with technique to back it up. Giles has been on the rise for some time now and the upcoming senior is ready to lock in some legit college interest. He took home the DB MVP award at the Main Event camp with an important senior season this fall.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1788614' first='Zatorien' last='Vilsaint'] | OL | 2026 | Lakeland | @ZATORIENV54</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vilsaint took home the offensive line MVP after competing against a solid group at the Main Event camp. He's a solid guard prospect with two seasons for growth and development.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best of the Rest:&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='869381' first='Zyuan' last='Dukes'] | WR | 2026 | Lakeland | @ZDhumble3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top WR prospects in the class is dangerous in the 1v1 setting because of his slick route running and sticky hands. Dukes has been on the rise this offseason with various D1 offers. Had potential for the WR MVP award at the Main Event camp but stay tuned as he continues to develop.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1628903' first='Omari' last='Russell'] | DB | 2026 | Fort Meade | @omari_russell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not sure who has more potential to play DB at the college level in the area than this kid who still has two seasons of work as a rising 2026 prospect. Russell is a lockdown DB with long arms and great technique. Just know I told you before it happened. College coaches, get eye on this kid.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cassidy Ervin | WR | 2026 | Lake Wales | @CassidyErvinn</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ervin is nearly unstoppable when it comes to staying in front of him with no backside help. He makes it look easy in the 1v1 session and will now add to a talented Lake Wales wide receiver room. Look out folks.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1141192' first='Cason' last='Dash'] | DB | 2026 | Lake Gibson | @CasonDash3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dash is a pure athlete who competed on both sides of the ball at the Main Event camp. He has a solid frame and decent athleticism to build on as a 2026 prospect. I like him at the defensive back position where I think he can develop and play college football.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cedarius Christian | DB | 2026 | Lake Wales | @12kBino</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jordan Tarver | WR | 2026 | Lake Wales | @Jordantarver100</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Najeh Miller | WR | 2026 | Winter Haven | @najeh_miller</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Xavier Clemente | WR | 2026 | Land o Lakes | @XClemente76475</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Best of the Rest:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1230899' first='Melik' last='Murray'] | DE | 2025 | George Jenkins | @itsmeekman</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Devon Mccue | OL | 2025 | Lakeland | @DevonMcCue51936</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zaire Smith | WR | 2026 | @ZaireSmith08</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaidon Furman | ATH | 2026 | Tenoroc | @jaidon_f09</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
