Without Spring Football, several High School Football athletes around Northeast Florida were unable to showcase their talents and abilities on the field for their teams. With the Covid-19 pandemic affecting the travel for college recruiters, and team’s ability to assemble, some of the top players in Northeast Florida have been unable to be seen. So for the next couple of weeks, Duval Sports will list the Top Players on each team in Northeast Florida.
Westside
The Wolverines had one of their best statistical output teams in a very long time as Coach Rodney Debose led Westside to a district runner-up and the playoffs. Several of these key players are returning and we highlight them below in our Northeast Florida Top Prospects.
*Denotes a former Duval Sports Middle School Top 50 Athlete
(Annual Top Middle School Football Player List)
Ditannon DJ. Otis– 2021 QB 6’3, 175lbs Key Offers: Chadron State
A 3rd Team All-state quarterback who can push the ball down field. He’s very athletic and elusive in the pocket. He’s a play maker who was the key component to their offense last year, and will be even more so this year.
Ray Bolden– 2021 C/DT 5’10, 230lbs , Key Offers: None
All- Gateway Conference and Honorable Mention All -State, Bolden achieved major accolades at NT. A very quick first step allowed him to disrupt the backfield. He wrestles so he is very good with his hands as well. It shows up on tape.
Darrell Williams Jr– DB 2021 5’9, 150lbs Key Offers: None
All District honors, Williams was a key component to the Wolverines secondary. Always around the ball with great instincts and closing speed.
Chadwick Martin– DE/OLB 2021 , 6’1, 205lbs, Key Offers: None
All-State Honorable Mention, Martin was one of the area leaders statistically in sacks. Athletic for his position and his size gives him an advantage with raw speed at off the edge.
Jordan Hall -OT/DT 6’4, 270lbs, 2023 Key Offers: None
Extremely raw and young player but wow what great size he has. He dwarfs opponents on the line. He’s going to be problems for offensive lines in the years to come as he continues to get stronger and the game slows down.
*Keloun Walker– RB , 5’10, 185lbs 2022 Key Offers: None
Walker has been a hard nosed aggressive runningback since his middle school days. He’s got all the tools to be the next big time running-back in the area, and hopefully he’ll get an opportunity to show his skills.
*Justin Bradley– FS , 5’9 , 175lbs 2022 , Key Offers: None
Bradley is fun to watch. A swiss army knife who is able to accomplish any task on the football field. Plays QB, return man, and secondary. His main position is FS where he racks the ball well in the air and plays physical for his size.
Jonatan Salvador- Cano – K, P 5’8, 175lbs. 2021 Key Offers None
Top Prospect on the Radar: Ditannon DJ. Otis
Top Prospect Under the Radar: Chadwick Martin
