Matthew Ford

Ford looks like the next name up out of Brevard County. At 6-2 with a long frame, he brings natural ball skills and high-end athleticism for a rising freshman. He consistently made plays down the field and showed the ability to win above the rim. His highlight moment — going over the top for a contested grab — matched the confidence he played with all weekend. The tools and playmaking ability point to a very high ceiling early on.

His consistency and feel for the position make him one to keep tracking.

Noah Patton

QB · 2028 · Venice

Recent move to Venice puts Patton in a strong situation. Physically checks early boxes with clean mechanics, good touch, and the ability to throw off-platform. This offense should test his timing and command moving forward.

ATH / WR · 2027

Jordan Donahoo

WR · 2027 · Oviedo

6-4

Has to be one of the top reliable targets in the state. Uses his 6-4 frame well, wins in space, and consistently comes down with contested reps. Key piece in Prime8's recent 7v7Elite 18U championship run.

Sebastian Lora

7v7Elite: Space Coast Top Performers

Even outside of a game environment, the progression is noticeable as he prepares to take the next step.

Joey Sonnenberg

OL · 2027 · Merritt Island

@JoeySonnenberg

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. Watching him work in space with the DoughBoyz showed his conditioning and mobility, but on Friday nights he's a powerful interior presence. Strong base, natural strength, and good footwork make him effective in multiple run schemes.

Elijah "Tank" Harvey

ATH · 2027 · Titusville

@Elijahharvey0

First in-person look, and he stood out right away. Harvey was the best overall athlete at the event and consistently showed two-way ability. He can win above the rim as a receiver or compete at DB against top targets. Physical, versatile, and still developing — college coaches need to get eyes on him sooner rather than later.

Jayden McKenzie

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.

Mik Zades

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.

Tykese Rivers

ATH · Cocoa

IG: tykeeseee

Rivers was productive out of the slot all weekend. Consistently open, caught everything thrown his way, and finished with two tough touchdowns. Reliable target who made the most of his opportunities.

South Florida Regional: Top Weekend Performers

Drew Johnson's top performers from South Florida at the 2026 South Beach Showcase.

Phillip Michely

WR · 2027 · Somerset Academy · Palm Beach Elite

@PhillipMichely1

Michely was the most complete wideout I saw all weekend. Consistently open, dependable hands, and comfortable winning at multiple levels of the field. Runs clean routes, finishes through contact, and flashes real vertical upside. A prospect whose offseason development should be closely tracked.

Nick Lennear

WR · 2027 · MotionBoyz

@_youngshiner_n1

Lennear looked every bit like a national-level prospect. Explosive off the line, advanced release package, and effortless separation. Attacks the football with confidence and plays with a polished rhythm that's hard to disrupt. Long-term ceiling remains very high.

Ryan Ferdinand

WR · 2027 · Palm Beach Elite

@6ixtimesss

A fast-rising 2027 who made his presence felt early. Showed good burst and aggressiveness working into coverage. Made enough plays in pool play to stand out, making him a name worth monitoring before the camp circuit ramps up.

David Forster

WR · 2028 · Prolific

@davidforsterr· 6'4"

One of the top-ranked 2028 receivers out of New Jersey, and the physical profile immediately stands out. Long, lean, and difficult to defend in space, Forster consistently won on contested throws. At 6'4" with verified speed, he moves unusually well for his size and understands how to high-point the football. His offer list reflects it — and it's only growing.

Keith Smith

ATH · 2027 · Manatee · Manatee 7v7

@2Keithsmitty

Smith was the driving force behind Manatee's 18U championship run. Dominated from the slot, absorbed a heavy workload, and stayed productive deep into the weekend. Reliable target with toughness and consistency snap to snap.

Ja'kobi Williams

WR · 2027 · McCarthy · WARCON

@youngin_kobi

Played with visible confidence and backed it up with tough catches and downfield production. Has good size and is starting to gain traction on the recruiting trail, recently picking up offers from UConn and Liberty. Trending in the right direction.

Keyondre McClover

WR · 2027 · JackBoyz

@15gumpp· 6'2"

McClover put together a strong two-day showing. At 6'2", he brings a physical presence and showed the ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Flashed strong hands and vertical playmaking ability. The tools are there — now it's about stacking consistent performances heading into a pivotal season.

Jah'ki Williams

WR · Prolific

@jahkisthatyu

Williams was a steady chain-mover and constant outlet for his quarterbacks. Routinely found space, stayed available, and delivered in key moments. His reliability and ability to consistently win reps were crucial to his team's success.

Darius Smith

WR · 2029 · Let'sWork

Made the most of his opportunities and competed at a high level throughout the weekend. Continued exposure in events like this should help elevate his profile.

Robert Outler

TE/WR · 2028 · WARCON

@9INE________· 6'6"

A 6'6" matchup problem who's hard to account for in a 7v7 setting. Uses his frame well and flashes strong receiving upside. As his role expands, production should follow. High-upside long-term prospect.

Bryan Bynes

WR · 2027 · Monarch · WARCON

@bryanbynes1

An underrated receiver who quietly put together a strong day. Runs disciplined routes, catches the ball cleanly, and showed enough speed to stress coverage. Did the details right and consistently moved the chains.

Connor Rickle

WR · 2029 · Wall · Prolific

@ConnorRick87419

The freshman made the trip count. Routinely won reps, created highlight moments, and earned respect from coaches and evaluators. Early-stage prospect who needs to keep stacking reps, but the confidence and competitiveness stood out.

Jaden Torres

WR · 2027 · FLEX SPEED

@JadenTorres27

One of the hardest-working route runners at the event. Plays fast, attacks his breaks, and finishes with strong hands. Brings energy and a clear big-play element to the position.

Best of the Rest

Randy Dorvilus

WR · 2029 · West Boca

@RandyDorvilus29

Versatile young athlete who worked on both sides of the ball. His frame and athleticism made him a problem at receiver, especially in space.

Syncer Toussaint

ATH · 2026 · Prolific

@SynceirTou· 6'3", 196

A well-built athlete at 6'3", 196 pounds who moved fluidly throughout the weekend. Shows potential as a boundary receiver but also has the frame to project defensively long-term at linebacker or safety with added weight.

Tristan Bester

WR · 2027 · Prolific

@TristanB2111

Left South Florida with quality reps and multiple highlight-level plays. A confidence-building weekend heading into his senior season.

Mikey Jean

WR · 2028 · Gulf Coast · IMI KINGZ

@MikeyJean404

Played a key role in his team's success. Competitive, driven, and clearly motivated to elevate his profile. A 2028 worth continued tracking.

Drew's Prospect Watch · January 27, 2026

South Florida Regional: Top QB Performers

The top quarterbacks from the 2026 South Florida Regional.

Marcus Stracke

QB · 2028 · American Heritage

@Marcus_Stracke

A quarterback I've tracked for a while and now confirmed in a live 7v7 setting. Stracke looks the part with good size, calm poise, and a strong understanding of timing and touch. Processes reads early and stays composed when the field speeds up. One of the more promising passers in the 2028 class and a name that continues to trend in the right direction.

Malik Leonard

QB · 2029 · Carol City

@Malik7Leonard

First in-person look at the fast-rising lefty, and the hype checked out. Solidly built freshman with confidence in his arm and approach. Mechanics are clean for his age, accuracy was consistent, and he wasn't shy about attacking downfield. Fresh off earning MaxPreps Freshman All-American and Freshman Player of the Year honors. High-upside quarterback with a bright trajectory.

Jaden Hernandez

15U Champion · MVP

QB · 2028 · Checkmate

· 6-2

Hernandez was lights out all weekend, capping it off with a 15U championship and MVP honors. Good-sized lefty at 6-foot-2 who consistently delivered accurate throws and strong ball placement. Showed command of the offense and operated with confidence throughout the event. Officially added to the 2028 QB watch list.

Gustavo Minguez

14U Champion · Offensive MVP

QB · 2029 · Miramar · YNS Elite

@GustavoMinguez8

Led YNS Elite to a strong Championship Sunday, finishing with a 14U title in a competitive bracket. Played with confidence and flair, but backed it up with production and control. Efficient, composed, and productive en route to earning Offensive MVP honors for the weekend.

Ryan Johnson

QB · 2028 · WhySoSerious

One of the more impressive developmental performances of the weekend. Johnson improved with every rep, showing growth, confidence, and consistency as the event went on. The 2028 QB class continues to impress, and Johnson is a great example of a prospect with real upside still waiting for broader recognition.

Deangelo Plese

QB · 2029 · Nova

One of the more confident and accurate young quarterbacks in pool play. Showed strong command, decisiveness, and consistent ball placement. Even while playing up an age group, Plese stayed composed and comfortable. A 2029 quarterback worth tracking closely moving forward.

Mason Summer

QB · 2027 · Manatee

@masonsummer08

Summer stood out for his football IQ and accuracy. Competed alongside his high school teammates and showed leadership and chemistry throughout the weekend. Smart, efficient quarterback who plays within structure and understands how to manage an offense. Reliable presence in the 2027 class.

Nick Dyer

QB · 2027 · Cooper City

@NickDyer_QB

First live evaluation, and Dyer made a strong impression. Smooth footwork, clean release, and excellent touch on the move. Consistent from rep to rep — not just a flash player. Steady performer whose name could gain serious momentum with a few breakout games.

Anthony Caratelli

QB · 2027 · Staten Island, NY

@Antcaratelli

Made the trip down from New York and held his own against strong South Florida competition. Showed poise after travel and delivered several quality throws during pool play. One of the better 2027 quarterbacks from his state and a solid showing in a tough environment.

Brady Basis

QB · 2027 · Oxbridge Academy

@bradybasis1

Really impressive weekend and could contend for one of the top QB risers in attendance after looking over his body of work from the South Florida Regional weekend. Set up for a crucial offseason to help boost his recruiting stock.
