Having the opportunity to watch many of the athletes in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties when they begin playing football at the youth football level, the Miami Herald will continue to shine the spotlight on many athletes during the pre-spring, spring and summer.
With the chance to see the athletes away from the football field as well, we can bring you up close and personal with some of the top prospects in the nation - right here in our own backyard.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Since first having the pleasure of watching this impressive football talent as a sophomore, there was no denying that he had everything you were looking for in a quality defensive secondary performer.
His quickness, knowledge of the game and impressive work ethic have paid off as he takes his talents from Miami Edison, where he made a name for himself, and has move north to play his senior season for the defending 6A state champion Central Rockets.
The many college coaches we have talked to are impressed by his cover skills. They also love the way he breaks on balls, uses his vision to scan the entire field and ends up making plays.
