#47 Alex Graham– IMG Academy
Position: Safety
Commitment: Colorado
The Detroit native transferred to national-powerhouse IMG Academy before the start of his junior season.
The 6-1 rising senior safety is quick and shifty regarding covering the open field as he can get to any pass in any given time. Graham could make an impact right away at the next level, but has had some tough luck staying on the field as he had his sophomore and junior seasons end with an injury.
He is also a decorated track athlete where he ran the 100-meter dash in 11.48 seconds as well as the 200-meter in 22.40 seconds.
#46 Raiden Vines-Bright– IMG Academy

The 6-0 190-pound wide receiver added 15 pounds of muscle during the off-season where he will look faster and stronger when he steps onto the field this season.
The Tempe native made the move to IMG Academy before the start of his senior season.
Vines-Bright ran the 100-meter dash in 10.82 seconds, and the 200-meter in 22.55 seconds as a junior in 2023.
#45 Tyler Williams– Armwood
Position: Wide Receiver
Commitment: Georgia
The 6-1 205-pound wide receiver has great speed and hands where he catches nearly everything thrown in his general direction. He makes big plays happen whether they’re on short or long routes and can create separation from the defenses with his length and athleticism.

#44 Joshua Moore– West Broward
Position: Wide Receiver
Commitment: Florida
The 6-4 205-pound wide receiver has a nice stride to his game where he was catching over-the-shoulder type passes. He is a one-speed type of receiver which can make it a challenge for him to create separation from the defenses, but using his size and length allow him to win the 50-50 ball.
During the 2023 season, Moore was credited with 50 catches for 835 yards and 9 touchdowns.
#43 Nicolas Clayton– Buchholz (Gainesville)
Position: Defensive End
Commitment: Wisconsin

#42 Justin Thurman– Jesuit (Tampa)
Position: Running Back
Commitment: Notre Dame
Thurman has a quick first step where he can be very explosive coming out of the backfield and knows how to change his speed when needed. Thurman also can go catch passes as a wide receiver where he is shifty and has great hands.
During the 2023 season, Thurman was credited with 169 carries for 812 yards and 14 touchdowns.
#41 Jayvan Boggs– Cocoa
