Broward County's Top 25 for Class of 2013

Here's a look at Miami Herald Recruiting Analyst Larry Blustein's Top 25 list of seniors for Broward County:

1. Joey Bosa, DE, 6-5, 270, St. Thomas Aquinas: This Ohio State-bound standout has become one of the nation’s best defensive prospects with a solid junior year and a productive off season. Teams will have to know where he is on every snap.

2. Stacy Coley, WR, 6-2, 190, Northeast: After two solid years, it took an outstanding off season for this quality football player to be regarded as one of the best in the nation. Speed and the ability to find the endzone have been his calling card.

3. Alex Collins, RB, 5-11, 195, South Plantation: This University of Miami commitment has really impressed this off season – showcasing his overall game. One of the best line from scrimmage runners in the state, who can also catch the ball out of the backfield.

4. Alvonte Bell, DE, 6-5, 230, Everglades: Even though he is on his way to the University of Kentucky, many who have followed his career, believe that this could be one of the best defensive line prospects in the state.

5. Michael Deeb, LB, 6-2, 240, American Heritage: One of the most talked about and promoted linebackers in Florida has done everything expected of him after a solid junior season. This Notre Dame-bound standout is expected to have a huge season for the Patriots.

6. Rashard Robinson, DB, 6-1, 175, Blanche Ely: Is there anyone who has come out of nowhere like this and has emerged as one of the best in the state? The answer is no. This is a solid defensive back prospect who will head to LSU next season.

7. Sandley Jean Felix, OL, 6-5, 300, Boyd Anderson: Another of the big men who has been on the radar screen for the past two years, his size, quickness and athletic ability continue to open doors and attract collegiate attention.

8. Kyle Schaffenacker, OL, 6-4, 280, St. Thomas Aquinas: It’s no surprise that the No. 1 offensive line unit in the state would have a big time prospect like this. Here is a prospect who has done everything right over the past year.

9. Jermaine Grace, LB, 6-2, 195, Miramar: This three-year varsity standout is one of the best at his position because of his work ethic, ability to pick things up quickly and lead by example. Dozens of offers continue to pour in.

10. Jordan Cunningham, WR, 6-1, 180, University School: Nothing has changed since he dominated the state’s best two years ago in the then 2B title game. Now, as he heads toward his final season, this quality student/athlete is among the best nationally.

11. Skai Moore, LB, 6-2, 205, University School: Easily one of the most underrated football prospects around. His ability to make plays all over the field has schools from all over the country watching and offering.

12. Jeremy Benjamin, LB, 6-2, 215, McArthur: Another player who has watched his stock rise over the past year, following a solid junior season and productive spring and summer, which further put him out there.

13. Monty Nelson, DT, 6-2, 290, Plantation: While many have overlooked this big, strong and agile football prospect, colleges across the country haven’t missed a thing. Offers continue to pour in for this two-sport (wrestling) standout.

14. Maquedius Bain, DT, 6-4, 280, University School: Here is a prospect who began playing this sport just over a year ago – getting the attention of colleges across the country. A one-time FSU commit, this quality two-sport (basketball) athlete continues to impress.

15. Nick Internicola, OLB, 6-3, 210, University School: Whether it’s as a tight end, defensive end or outside linebacker, this Rutgers University commitment has turned heads and gotten the job done. Quality football talent.

16. Lemond Johnson, WR/S, 6-0, 190, Cooper City: There are football players who can make a difference and lift a team. This University of Auburn-bound standout has done it all for the Cowboys. Can play quarterback, receiver and safety.

17. John Franklin, QB, 6-1, 190, South Plantation: Even though many schools are looking at this gifted and quick athlete at other positions – such as defensive back and receiver – there are dozens of schools who would like to see him play quarterback at the next level.

18. Matt Dayes, RB, 5-8, 215, Cypress Bay: One of the most complete backs around, this tough, hard runner will enter his third season as a varsity performer. Headed to North Carolina State in 2013, winning a state title has to be a priority.

19. Sojourn Shelton, DB, 5-9, 165, Plantation: This one-time FSU commit has certainly proven to be one of the best in the state, being invited to several showcase events that continued to keep him in the spotlight.

20. Tyler Cogswell, QB, 6-5, 230, American Heritage: A year ago, there were very few people who knew much about this exceptional prospect. Today, as he gets ready for his senior season, this University of Arkansas commit is regarded as one of the best.

21. Adrian Baker, DB, 6-1, 165, Chaminade-Madonna: Having watched this quality secondary performer the past two seasons, this is certainly a player who can make a difference. Committed to FSU, this is an athlete who makes plays. He is only going to get better!

22. Robert Miller, S, 6-1, 195, Taravella One of the prospects who used a solid off season to attract all kinds of collegiate attention. A solid athlete who not only played well as a safety, but also helped spark the Trojans on offense as well.

23. Jordan Budwig, OL, 6-4, 315, University School: Yet another player from a school that is loaded with major college talent. Here is a quality big man who has already shown that he can compete against the best, proving it over the past three years.

24. Bryant Gross, S, 6-0, 190, American Heritage: One of the fastest football players in South Florida this season, this is yet another elite prospect with the ability to make plays all over the field. Is expected to have a huge final season.

25. Alex Montgomery, WR, 6-1, 210, Cypress Bay: This Wake Forest commit has more than proven what he can do on the football field – after two solid seasons for the Lightning. One of the more physical and athletic pass-catchers around.
