ATH Steve Ishmael | North Miami Beach | 6’2 | 180 | 2014
Miami-Dade County produces arguably the most Division I talent than any other county in the state and possibly any other area of the state. Steve Ishmael is a coach’s best friend because of the fact that you can simply tell your quarterback “throw it deep” and you know 9 times out of 10, Ishmael is coming down with it. He has a good sense of where he is on the field and his nifty footwork allow him to keep his body and feet in play in certain tight situations. What makes Ishamel entertaining is watching him just glide down the field as he looks so smooth. With that I see him playing Division I FBS football in the near future.
