Some high school football recruiting sites promote star-rated athletes very well, but when it comes to shining a light on every prospect, they fall short.
Because we could watch more football players and teams live than any other source, new talent that many would never find out about is appearing each and every Wednesday – as well as throughout the entire year.
With five weeks of the high school football season in the books, we once again shine the light on five more football players in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties:
2026 – Andre Bailey, QB, 5-9, 165, Miami Palmetto. When he came over this season from Miami Palmer, the objective was to help the Panthers in any way possible. No matter what position head coach Mike Manasco and the team needed him to play, this athletic prospect was ready to go. But since arriving, he has moved into the quarterback position and has done an outstanding job, leading the team toward a state playoff appearance.

2026 – Brandon Bennett, WR, 6-1, 180, Plantation American Heritage. Talk about world class speed, here is one of Florida’s fastest football players who opens up so much for a program that is loaded with offensive weapons. The last time that head coach Mike Smith and the Patriots had a player with this kind speed, it was Anthony Schwartz, a world-class sprinter who went on to play at Auburn and into the NFL. This is a game-changer who is still learning more about the game – with a season and a half left.

2026 – Jason Dunkley, WR/DB, 5-9 140, Davie Nova. While the Titans haven’t been in the spotlight for a few years, here is the kind of prospect who will get them in a position, under head coach Tyrus McCloud, to compete in the district and make a push toward the state playoffs. Playing multiple positions, there are so many ways that he can make a contribution.

2026 – Otis Guyton, DE/OLB, 6-0, 200, Miami Central. To hear Rockets’ head coach Jube Joseph talk about this quality underclassmen, he won’t hide the fact that this is indeed the ultimate team player who will do anything and everything to get this program back in the state title game. Watching him perform, he is relentless, getting after the quarterback as well as stopping the run. On a team loaded with high profile talent, this is someone who continues to fill up the stat sheet. He also happens to hold down a 3.8 GPA in the classroom.

2025 – Jerrard Smith, DB, 5-10, 165, Miami Norland. Want to talk about someone who is a blueprint and perfect example for never giving up – no matter how the odds are stacked against you. A junior varsity performer and role player in his first two seasons with the Vikings, he left for Miami Dr. Krop as a junior, only to return this season for head coach Darryl Heidelberg and his defending state runner up team. All he’s done in the first four games is post seven interceptions, returning a few for scores. He also gets it done in the classroom with a 3.1 GPA.
