There you have it, the Top 40 players at each position in NE Florida. This year was unique in that several players played both ways, especially in the trenches.
Some players listed as offensive linemen on the list, currently play offense and defensive lines for their teams.
Also, some players are listed via their secondary positions and not their primary positions in order to ensure the Top athletes made the list.
On the offensive line we have a versatile piece in Alex Citrullo, the most technically sound in Miami signee JJ Sparks. The big championship bookend in 6’5 Araundai Mitchell. Then 2-way stars Anson Bivins and Adrian Williams.
At Quarterback, we have a state champion in TJ Cole, a state runner-up in Jaden Weatherly, the ultimate dual threat in Jaiden Delaune, the ultimate commander in King Boylston, and the 6’5 phenom in Brenton James.
At Running back we have the record breaker Xander Edwards. The consistent chain mover in Caleb Mattison. The break-out baller in Shaunqueze Foster Jr. “Flash” Fareed Coleman, and the ultimate athlete Tony Kennedy.
Wide Receiver is clearer the strongest unit with 5 star Brysen Wright, Naeem ” The Dream” Burroughs, Sensational Somourian Wingo, The technician Trace Burney, the route God Julio Santiago, and the champion Ziyon Butler .
Defensively, the line will have the most athletic tackles since we started doing the list with 5-star Asher Ghioto sliding inside with the quick Troy Butler. While the Monmouth Reece Beck anchors the strong side, and quick step Jacob Curry patrolling the edges. Both had double digit sacks last year.
Outside backers might be the most athletic in the history of the list with Simeon Caldwell, and Jacob Curry.
Defensive backs have the ability to interchange at nickel and corner, while the safeties are a mixture of size, athleticism, and play making ability.
Congratulations to all the First Team selections!
