With another National Signing Day in the books, the attention is now on the next wave of talent – the Class of 2021.
As we did late last year, taking a look at some of the prospects who make up this impressive class –we will do once again throughout the course of the year –paying full attention and spotlighting a number of these amazing football players who are already receiving plenty of attention.
As the off season continues to unfold, we will add more and more prospects for you to watch and keep an eye on.
Just so you understand, these are NOT rankings are prospects who are getting recruited more than the others. They are just pieces of information for the fans and college coaches to check out and watch their film.
Many of these young men are already on plenty of radar screens, so this is just a chance for additional exposure and promotion of the types of athletes we produce yearly.
If you follow what we do, you already understand how many profiles and spotlights we do over the course of a year, so nobody is ever left out.
With that in mind, there are once again several Class of 2021 prospects who continue to receive attention all over the country – months and months before they ever start their final season.
Here is a look at 15 more players in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties to keep an eye on:
Jaden Alexis, WR, Coconut Creek Monarch. One of the premier players in south Florida, who started to make some noise last spring and followed through during the season. Great size, tremendous athleticism and a knack to get the ball no matter where it is. Coached by Dante Lombardi.

Bralon Brown, WR. Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna. While we have profiled him during the off season, watching him play a year ago, when very few people knew who he was, you could see why he will be very special and is one of the elite and rising stars in this class. Every college is after this young man who is 6-2, 180 and growing all the time. Coached by Dameon Jones.

Rance Conner, CB, Miami Booker T. Washington. Yet another prospect very few people knew about before the Tornadoes’ run at a 4A state title. The transformation between his sophomore and junior season was truly impressive. He grew, became ore confident and used the fact that this program had one of the top group of receivers in the state to his full advantage. Coached by Earl Tillman and Ben Hanks.

Fred Eaford, WR, Hialeah. Yet another football talent who really lived up to all of his hype – and like so many – was promoted and evaluated by many people before they ever watched him play live. Originally committed to attend the University of Miami, he remains as one of the gifted and most athletic prospects in south Florida. His ability to also play in he secondary makes him extremely versatile and dependable. Coached by Gary Sanchez.

Oronde Gadsden II, WR, Plantation American Heritage. Following in the footsteps of his father, a one time Miami Dolphins’ standout, he showed plenty of promise this past season – and as he heads toward his final year – this is one of those young men who is ready to step up and be a leader. One that this program will need in 2020. Coached by Pat Surtain.

Katravis Geter, RB, Miami Carol City. When you add everything up and combine each thing that this soon to be four-year varsity performer brings to the table, this is one of Florida’s premier backs. Watch him on film and try to evaluate all that he does, and your assessment will fall short. His size and experience give him a major advantage over plenty of runners. A big game back who got it done as far back as his freshman season when he helped his then Miramar team upset St. Thomas Aquinas. Coached by Josh Taylor.

Jabari Ishmael, DE, Miami Christopher Columbus. Hidden by all the talent that the Explorers have had over the past two seasons, this is someone who certainly has an opportunity to have a breakout year for a program that captured its first ever 8A state title. He is long and athletic, and ever out of position, can still make plays. His best years are ahead of him. Coached by Dave Dunn.

Kevin Knowles, CB, Hollywood McArthur. One of the true athletic defensive backs who has shown what he can do since his freshman season. A very athletic and quick defensive back who has amazing cover skills as well as being able to be physical. Watch him play this past season and you will someone who showed tremendous improvement. Coached by Pierre Senatus.

Michael McLaughlin, OL, Parkland Douglas. From the time this quality prospects moved south from Indiana, there was no question that he was very special. Even when nobody had heard of him and he blew up at a University of Miami camp, this was already someone who had everything it takes – including being 6-foot-7. No doubt that he will emerge into one of the best this state has. Coached by Quentin Short.
TAPE: https://www.hudl.com/profile/11118521/Michael-McLaughlin
Gabriel Nealy, DB/WR, Miami Gulliver Prep. From the time he played receiver and defensive back at South Miami, there was never a doubt how impressive this young man would be. One of those under-the-radar players who has the chance to be very special this coming season – and with several offers on the table and more on the way – this 6-4 standout is perfect for any program. Big time potential who will certainly shine for the Raiders this coming season. Coached by Earl Sims.

Ryan Rodriguez, OT, Miami Christopher Columbus. One of the most technically-sound big men in south Florida, this is truly a prospect that every coach is now well aware of. Was a huge reason why the Explorers were able to run the ball so well and capture the school’s first ever state football title. A big, strong, athletic and smart young man who continues to leave a lasting impression on his teammates and the coaches who are making a push to get him on their campus. Coached by Dave Dunn.

Tyson Russell, CB, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas. Having the opportunity to watch this impressive athlete since he arrived on campus, this is someone who has everything going for him – including amazing knowledge of the game. A former offensive player who understands what it takes to succeed in this game – and that is a huge part of recruiting that many tend to overlook. Brings a lot to the table for the defending 7A state champions. Coached by Roger Harriott. He is the son of former St. Thomas Aquinas, University of Miami and NFL standout Twan Russell.

Nick Vattiato, QB, Fort Lauderdale University School. For the past three years, there have been very few quarterbacks who have brought more to the table than this quality prospect. Nobody has been more respected than Nick has been. Great arm, tremendous leadership and a command for the position that very few have. Should be one of the most heavily recruited players in Florida. College coaches need to wake up. You do not get the total package like this very often.
