As we get set for another high school football season, we will be revealing our Top 100 players to watch for in their respective classes. We will start with the senior class, followed by juniors, and then sophomores. The following players are ranked by their collegiate potential and the impact they made during the 2023 season.
#70 Jett White– Miami Edison
Position: Cornerback
Commitment: Maryland
The 6-2 170-pound defensive back is long-armed and can battle with any receiver in any position at any given time. White also has a ton of speed in his game where he can cover a lot of ground and catch receivers off balance. As a junior last season, White was credited for 10 pass breakups and had an interception.
#69 Brandon Brown– Eau Gallie
Position: Defensive End/Defensive Tackle
Commitment: LSU
2023 Stats: 65 total tackles (24 tackles for loss), 4.0 sacks
#68 Koby Howard– Chaminade-Madonna
Position: Wide Receiver
Commitment: Penn State
Howard is often viewed at times as the best receiver in the state as he is coming off an impressive junior season where he capitalized on so many catch-and-run opportunities. Howard isn’t a perennial deep-ball threat but has a quick first-step where he finds ways to explode into the open field on short routes.
As a junior last season at Western, Howard got snaps at QB, RB, and WR where he had 1397 total yards from passing, rushing, and receiving. Howard also was a key factor on special teams where he had a punt return for a touchdown with the Wildcats last season.
#67 Taren Hedrick– Community School of Naples
Position: Offensive Tackle
Commitment: Ole Miss
2023 Stats: N/A
#66 Jade Card– Miami Northwestern
Position: Wide Receiver/Safety
Commitment: Florida Atlantic
Last season at South Broward, Card was credited for 38 receptions, 785 yards, and 7 touchdowns helping the Bulldogs finish 8-3.
On defense, Card was credited with just 9 total tackles last season as a junior.
#65 Kamare Williams– Palm Beach Central
Position: Wide Receiver
Commitment: Arkansas
The 6-4 175-pound receiver was credited for 49 receptions for 695 yards and 6 touchdowns last season in his first season at Palm Beach Central after spending the previous two seasons at Delray Beach Atlantic. He was occasionally used as a safety on defense where he picked up an interception last season for the Broncos as well.
#64 Jarquez Carter– Newberry
Position: Defensive Tackle
Commitment: Ohio State
Despite his short frame, Carter is notoriously known for having quick hands and getting to his blockers. As a junior last season, Carter was credited with 67 total tackles (37 tackles for loss) and 9.0 sacks helping lead the Panthers to a 9-3 record and reaching the Class 1R Regional Semifinals.
Carter will be one of the youngest prospects heading into his freshman season at Ohio State as he will turn 18 years old right before the 2025 College Football season.
#63 Tylon Lee– Pace
Position: Defensive End
Commitment: UCF
During his junior season, Lee was credited with 61 total tackles (20 tackles for loss), 5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. Lee helped lead the Patriots to an 8-2 record in 2023.
#62 Darryll Desir- Miami Norland
Position: Defensive End
Commitment: UCF
During his junior season, Desir was credited for 48 tackles (16 tackles for loss), 7 sacks, and a forced fumble helping the Vikings reach the Class 2M Championship Game. The 6-4 225-pound edge rusher will look to become a force again for the second straight season on the Miami Norland defensive line.
#61 Romando Johnson– Monarch
Position: Defensive End/Linebacker
Commitment: West Virginia
Johnson is in his first season back playing in the Sunshine State after transferring from Salem (NJ) during the middle of last season. While playing for Salem High, Johnson was credited for 19 total tackles (6 tackles for loss), 3.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery.
