Continue ReadingAs high school’s around the state wrap up the final days of the spring session, Prep Redzone Scout Drew Johnson will highlight a few of the notable prospects that shined bright for their respective schools. We have listed some of the recruits in the Polk County area and will be noting kids from across Florida. This period is a window to execute what you’ve worked on through the weeks and prepare for summer camps while transitioning to the fall. Let’s get into some of the names that college coaches need to get eyes on.
Justin Rosado Jr. | WR | Class of 2024 | Sanford Seminole | @Jr_GotHandz
Very productive on spring game night, catching four passes for 145 yards and two scores in the Seminole’s win over Wekiva.
Zack Pillow | WR | Class of 2025 | Viera | @zackpillow03
Pillow had one of the crazier stat lines of the spring game period. 11 catches for 5 TDs!
Charles Oldham | RB | Class of | Kathleen | @Charles667809
Despite taking a loss to the Bartow YellowJackets, Oldham had himself an all-around game that landed his name on the list. He finished with 3 TD, 1 INT, and 6 total tackles with 2 for loss.
Jamar Taylor Jr Jamar Taylor Jr 6'1" | 205 lbs | WR Lakeland | 2024 FL | Class of 2024 | @JamarTaylorJr1
6’2, 190
Recorded the longest TD catch of the day when he broke along the sideline after catching a screen pass. Taylor is one of the most interesting wide receiver products in the class of 2024. Has all the tools to excel at the college level and will surely turn things up a notch this season.
5’10, 160
Glover is primed for a breakout season for the Santa Fe Hawks as he looks to have a huge impact on both sides of the ball. He finished the spring game with 120+ yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, and 1 FR. That’s simply production from Glover who can be one of the more coveted ATH prospects in Polk County with more in-game reps and weight added to his frame.

Traveon Hymes | RB | Class of 2026 | Bartow | @TraveonHymes
Rushing touchdown to help bring Bartow back down 14
Tavares Murray Jr | DB | Class of 2025 | Bartow | @Oneway_T3
Antonio Gaffney | LB | Class of 2024 | Kathleen | @prolly_tonio
Joshua Porter | WR | Class of 2024 | @PorterJoshuaWR2
6’0, 171
Stamp this right now. Joshua Porter is one of the top wide receiver products in the state of Florida. He scored a TD last night to show everyone that the hype he’s gained during 7v7 can transition with the pads on. Porter has seen an uptick in offers but expect his recruitment to skyrocket with more national/state attention.

Jordan Henderson Jordan Henderson 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Lake Wales | 2025 FL | RB | Class of 2025 | Lakeland | @CutbackHat
My standout RB of the spring was Jordan Henderson Jordan Henderson 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Lake Wales | 2025 FL who looked really good with the ball through light drills but looks as if he could excel in all three phases of the position: running, catching, and blocking.
Keon Young Keon Young 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Lakeland | 2025 State FL | Class of 2025 | Lakeland | @KeonYoung55
Recorded an interception in the Dreadnaght’s spring game vs. Lake Minneola
Jameson Young Jameson Young 6'2" | 155 lbs | DB Lakeland | 2024 FL | Class of 2024 | Lakeland | @jamesonyoung12

Simply one of the best defensive backs in the state.
Corion Abram | DB | Class of 2024 | Kathleen | @AbramCorion
Mikeyon Bruce | Class of 2024 | Bartow | @MoneyMike_96
Vernell “Trey” Brown | Class of 2025 | Wildwood | @VB3_9
This kid is going to be special. Has everything you want in a developing wide receiver: good speed and soft hands combined with excellent football IQ and a great family to push and motivate his progression on and off the football field.

D’Nari Adams | WR | Class of 2024 | Lake Minneola | @DNariAdams
A scat back in the slot receiver role that explodes off the line and understands how to get open. Scored a nice double move TD against an impressive Lakeland Dreadnaught defense.
