40. John Jones, LB, 6-2, 205, Sarasota (Booker)
He was the team's second leading receiver behind Sam Shields last year and also had 14 sacks while playing defensive end. A tremendous athlete, he projects as a college linebacker.

39. Akeem Auguste, CB, 5-11, 175, Hollywood (Chaminade)
One of the top cover guys in the entire state, Auguste just knows how to make plays at the right time.

38. Tyler McDermott, OL, 6-1, 270, Palm Beach Central
He's the best center prospect in the state this year, by far. He turned in an outstanding performance at the Scout.com All-American Combine in South Florida back in May.

37. Chris Lett, S, 6-1, 210, Pensacola
A big safety prospect, Lett has some impressive physical tools to work with. He's dominated competition in the Pensacola area the last couple years. Alabama's getting a good one.

36. Jermaine McKenzie, WR, 6-1, 170, Bradenton (Academy)
Another Alabama commitment, McKenzie has a lot of raw tools. He had a big year last season and was arguably the top receiver at the Scout.com All-American Combine in South Florida.

35. James Scott, CB, 5-10, 170, Daytona Beach (Seabreeze)
He hits and tackles like a safety and runs and covers like a cornerback. It's easy to see why so many schools are actively recruiting him. His brother, Kenny, played at Louisville.

34. James Pouncey, OL, 6-4, 290, Lakeland
He and twin, LaShawn, are two major reasons why Lakeland is 2-time defending champs in Class 5A. He's a versatile lineman who can block inside, play in space, and set his feet and protect the quarterback.

33. LaShawn Pouncey, OL, 6-4, 290, Lakeland
See James Pouncey. They're very similar in the way they play and they grade out pretty evenly when evaluating them both.

32. Dion Lecorn, WR, 5-11, 195, Ocala (Trinity Catholic)
John Brantley's favorite target, Lecorn had a huge junior season. He also went to states in track this year. He's got a lot of tools you look for in a receiver.

31. Stephen Garcia, QB, 6-3, 215, Tampa (Jefferson)
He plays the quarterback with an aggressive mentality. He has some of that Brett Favre in him. As a passer, he's very talented and has the offers to prove it. He led his team to the state game as a sophomore and had a big junior season as well.
