From Chicago’s Nazareth to IMG Academy this coming season, here is one of the nation’s best – after showcasing his many skills over the past two seasons. Extremely smart, great decision maker and has a big, accurate arm. Watch him perform, and this University of Michigan commit makes some throws that college players cannot make. He is solid in every way. His arm, leadership and ability to be that stellar dual threat signal caller that colleges are looking for. While nothing is etched in stone, here is someone who certainly is destined for some great things – this year and beyond. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/10003194/JJ-McCarthy">https://www.hudl.com/profile/10003194/JJ-McCarthy</a> <strong>CLASS OF 2021 QUARTERBACKS LOOK TO MAKE A STATEMENT THROUGHOUT THE SUNSHINE STATE </strong> While we know that McCarthy will be one of the elite signal callers, there are also very talented prospects for this class as well: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32770" first="Kiael" last="Kelly"], 6-1, 200, Tampa Gaither.</strong> The son of former University of Miami quarterback, <strong>Kenny Kelly</strong> is indeed following in his father’s footsteps. Headed to Ball State University, here is a very talented football player who has been learning this game since he could walk. An accurate and athletic prospect who has the chance to be very special this coming season. Has made the most of his off season. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/8276496/Kiael-Kelly">https://www.hudl.com/profile/8276496/Kiael-Kelly</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32767" first="Santino" last="Marucci"], 6-1, 215, Jacksonville Bartram Trail.</strong> This one-time Palm Beach Benjamin standout takes his talents north this year to play for a tremendous Bartram Trail program. A very strong, athletic prospect who also wrestled and did quite well. Natural leader on and off the football field. This Wake Forest commit is going to be very special – as he will give any program he plays for an added dimension. His father <strong>Jason</strong> was a running back at the University of Miami. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/8279086/Santino-Marucci">https://www.hudl.com/profile/8279086/Santino-Marucci</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32774" first="Jacobi" last="Myers"], 6-1, 210, Ponte Vedra</strong>. One of the true underrated prospects in Florida this season, here is a talented young man with a big, accurate arm. It’s hard to teach what this prospect brings to the table. While he’s not cat-quick, he can use his legs to advance plays and move the chains. This is a player you will want to follow. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9587202/Jacobi-Myers">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9587202/Jacobi-Myers</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32777" first="Walter" last="Simmons III"], 6-2, 195, Orange Park Oakleaf.</strong> There may not be a harder worker at this position than this young man. What he does in the off season alone has helped him mature and become an all-around better prospect. Accurate, strong arm and someone who uses his legs to make things happen. College coaches need to continue watching everything he does to help his football team win games. Difference maker. <strong>TAPE:</strong> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9494131/Walter-Simmons-III">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9494131/Walter-Simmons-III</a> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="32778" first="Nick" last="Vattiato"], 6-0, 180, Davie University.</strong> Without hesitation, this is the most underrated quarterback in the state of Florida in the Class of 2021. Big time talent who has been playing at this level for 4 years – and all he’s done is win and get the job done. Strong and very accurate arm, leadership and amazing field awareness. Has been turning heads for years, and while he has offers, Power 5 schools need to step up and understand what he doesn’t bring to the game physically, this is a talent that has the intangibles that most do not have. <strong>TAPE: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/9625404/Nick-Vattiato">https://www.hudl.com/profile/9625404/Nick-Vattiato</a> <strong><em>You Can Contact Larry Blustein with prospect or team information at: <a href="mailto:Foridakids1@aol.com">Foridakids1@aol.com</a>.
