21. OT Trevor Darling | 6’5 | 330 | Miami Central |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Miami (FL) |
Darling size and the ability to open holes is why he is one of the top offensive tackles in the state and why Joseph Yearby and Dalvin Cook are two of the best running backs in the state as well. |
22. WR Corey Holmes | 6’2 | 172 | St. Thomas Aquinas |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Undecided |
Being the top receiver for St. Thomas Aquinas and now-graduated quarterback John O’Korn, Holmes has the abilities that a wide receiver needs at the next level including speed and size. Look for Holmes to have some great showings this season. |
23. QB Quinton Flowers | 6’0 | 203 | Miami Jackson |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Undecided |
Flowers was highly instruramental with his playing calling and decision making skills last season as helped lead Miami Jackson to the final four for the first time ever. With most of the team back again this season Flowers could help push Miami Jackson into the 5A state title game. |
24. S Kyle Gibson | 6’0 | 170 | Armwood |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Undecided |
Gibson is a player who loves to hit people no matter which way they coming from. With his size, stregnth and athletic abilties, these things are what puts him towards the top of our top 150. Look for him to be the leader on the Armwood defense this season. |
25. DT Khairi Clark | 6’3 | 325 | Chaminade-Madonna |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Florida |
Clark’s size and abilties make one of the toughest tackles to get around in the state. If 17 sacks in two seasons are not enough to sell you about him, then his commitment to Florida should. |
26. CB Kendall Randolph | 5’11 | 170 | Lincoln |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Undecided |
Randolph is an aggressive cornerback who shows the attributes need to play man-to-man and keep opposing receivers from doing what they have to do. Randolph’s stock has risen considerbly during the offseason and has alread been invited to play in the U.S. Army All-American game. |
27. QB Sean White | 6’2 | 205 | University School |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Auburn |
when Sean White was named the MVP of the Elite 11 competition at The Opening back in early July, White saw his stock took off nationally. Back here in Florida we already knew that White had the talents to be a major Division I prospect after playing last season at Chaminade-Madonna. Now White steps in at University School and will lead the team through a very tough, but well planned schedule. |
28. WR Travis Rudolph | 6’1 | 186 | Cardinal Newman |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Undecided |
Rudolph was all over the field last season for Cardinal Newman and they are expecting the same thing out of him. His speed and hands are the biggest assest he has plus his size also helps him as well. |
29. DT Demarcus Christmas | 6’3 | 287 | Manatee |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Florida State |
Christmas was part of one of the best defensive fronts in the last season and will now have to carry a little bit more weight on the shoulders this season as the defense loses a few of the guys that have since graduated. Christmas was an early 2014 commitment for Florida State, committing during the 2012 season. |
30. ATH Chris Lammons | 5’10 | 170 | Plantation |
COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Undecided |
Lammons is one of the most talented athletes in the state. While he uses his speed at the quarterback position, he can also kick return and catch passes as well. Look for him to keep Plantation at the top of its district once again this season. |
