Drew's Prospect Watch · February 23, 2026

QB · 2028 · Venice
Patton checked plenty of boxes seeing him live for the first time. At a legit 6-3, he brings good size, and the ball jumps off his hand with noticeable velocity.

The recent Venice transfer looks positioned for a strong developmental climb heading toward spring practices.
QB · 2028 · Alonso · Honeybun Elite
Pyne continues reinforcing his status as one of Florida's top 2028 quarterbacks. Playing with Honeybun Elite, he displayed arm strength, accuracy, and strong command of the offense.

Even outside of a game environment, the progression is noticeable as he prepares to take the next step.
OL · 2027 · Merritt Island
Hard to understand why Sonnenberg isn't talked about more. For his size, he's a very good athlete and clearly respected by his teammates.

ATH · 2026 · Bayside
Another athlete who feels under-recruited. At 6-3, McKenzie has a solid frame and functional athleticism. This was my second time seeing him compete, and the upside is there. Late to the recruiting cycle, but he can help a college roster if he finds the right fit and gets to camps this offseason.
QB · 2028 · Palm Bay
Rising sophomore who came out to compete and get reps. Looked comfortable throwing throughout the day and handled red-zone and fade-ball situations well during 1-on-1s. Development-stage prospect with tools worth monitoring heading into spring.
DB · 2027 · Titusville
One of the top defensive backs at the event. Dunlap wasn't afraid to take on any matchup during 1-on-1s and held his own consistently. Physical, competitive, and technically sound despite being undersized. Plays with confidence and good hands.
DB · 2026 · Steinbrenner
Grant made several positive plays in coverage and shows a workable frame. Continued speed development and added strength will be important this offseason. A late bloomer who needs camp exposure to find the right college fit.
