Booker T. Washington:
1 Brandon Harris, CB, 5-10, 175, Sr. -- The best player on the field in the 4A game, Harris does it all for his team. In addition to being a lockdown cover guy, he's also a talented receiver, and even went into the game at quarterback when his team's starter went down. He'll play corner in college and he'll be a real good one. He has excellent speed and cover skills and while he doesn't have the size of some other top corner prospects, his ball skills are incredible. He can shut down his side of the field and be a playmaker back there at the same time. He could make a claim at being one of the top 5 players in the state and he showed why on Saturday. * * * *
2 Davon Johnson, WR, 5-11, 165, Sr. -- (Miami commitment) Explosive. That's the best way to describe Johnson's game. Any time he touches the ball, no matter where on the field he is, he's capable of taking it all the way. He was the game's leading receiver, again averaging about 25 yards per catch -- which is about what he averaged during the season. While he still needs to work on some of the finer points (running routes, coming off the line, attacking the ball, etc) his speed and playmaking ability make him a major prospect. * * *
3 Thearon Collier, WR, 5-9, 165, Sr. -- (Miami commitment) He and Johnson compliment each other so well. While he's a couple inches shorter than his talented teammate and doesn't have that type of explosiveness, Collier is the more polished of the two receivers. He runs better routes, probably has better ball skills, and seems to have an overall better understanding of how to play the position. He's a proven playmaker who isn't as dangerous as Johnson but still plenty good. * * *
10 Tarvis Pullins, MLB, 6-0, 180, Sr. -- The most active player on Booker T's defense throughout this season, Pullins is undersized at linebacker but has decent speed and quickness and always seems to be around the ball. He'll need to put on some weight to play linebacker at the next level but he has enough athletic ability and play-making ability to be considered a legit Division 1 prospect. *
11 Franklin Brown, SS, 6-0, 175, Sr. -- Brown has a nice build for a safety prospect and while he's not the biggest strong safety out there, he's very athletic. There can't be many tight ends anywhere in the state that he can't run with in coverage. He seems to always come up with big plays too. He finished this game with six tackles, 2 for loss, a pass breakup, and an interception. He looks like a legit Division 1 kid as well. *
21 Eduardo Clements, RB, 5-10, 180, So. -- The best running back in either game Saturday, Clements looks like a future star. Only a sophomore, he already has good size and speed/quickness. He got most of his 100+ yards in between the tackles so there's no question he can get the tough yards. He's dangerous in the open field and is also a talented pass-catcher. He had over 20 catches this season, including 3 more in this game. He's already one of the best backs in Miami-Dade County and should be one of the best in the state by the time he's a senior.
32 Winston Fraser, OLB, 6-0, 210, Sr. -- The most active player on Booker T's defense in this game, Fraser was all over the place. He has decent size and speed but just knows how to make plays. He's an up-field player, making a lot of plays at or behind the line of scrimmage. He finished this game with 13 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 1/2 a sack. He doesn't have the speed or change of direction skills as some other top linebackers in South Florida but he's a baller and he showed Saturday why he's a Division 1 prospect. * *
48 Jonathan Jackson, DE, 6-3, 225, Sr. -- The best pass rusher on the field in the 4A game, Jackson knows how to get after the quarterback. He has decent size and will only get bigger once his lower body fills out. He wins with a good first step, a non-stop motor, and just having good football skills. He finished this game with 8 tackles, 6 for loss, 3.5 sacks, one breakup, and a few hurries. While he doesn't have the speed or explosiveness as some other top defensive end prospects in South Florida, he proved Saturday why he's considered a legit Division 1 prospect. * * *
50 Kambriel Willis, 5-11, 210, Sr. -- An undersized defensive end, Willis just flat out runs circles around opposing offensive tackles because he's so quick off the line. He's tiny for a defensive end, however, and will have to play linebacker in college. He seems to have enough speed and quickness to play there but there's no telling how we'll he'll adjust to playing in space. He's very active though and finished this game with 6 tackles, 3 for loss, and 2.5 quarterback sacks. *
Nease:
3 Riley Haynes, LB, 6-0, 200, Sr. -- (Wake Forest commitment) Haynes isn't the biggest or fastest kid out there, but he's well-schooled and seems to have a real good understanding of the defense. He's always around the ball from his middle linebacker spot. He finished with 8 tackles, 1 for loss, 1 sack, and a hurry. He'll only get better at the next level as he adds more size and speed. * *
4 Graham Bates, CB, 6-0, 180, Sr. -- The son of former NFL special teams gem Bill Bates, Graham is an athletic defensive back prospect who plays corner at the high school level. He didn't quite have the speed to match up with Booker T's receivers but looks like he could grow into a very good safety. He's a good athlete, plays hard, and seems to have very good instincts. * *
7 Hunter Bates, S, 5-10, 175, Sr. -- (Northwestern commitment) The smaller of the two brothers, Hunter plays safety now. He doesn't have the size/speed combination as his brother but he, too, always seems to be around the ball. He's also a star on special teams for Nease (not surprising considering how good his dad was on those units for the Cowboys for so many years). It's always fun watching guys like Hunter play as hard as he does. * *
16 Ted Stachitas, QB, 6-0, 180, Sr. -- (Wake Forest commitment) After an incredible junior season when he made a lot of people around Nease quickly forget about Tim Tebow from the year before, Stachitas just wasn't the same player this year thanks to an ankle injury that bothered him most of the season. He just didn't have the foot quickness, which was needed against a tough Booker T. pass rush. While he's a bit small, has an above average arm, and seems to hold onto the ball a little too long (as seen by his 8 sacks, including one for a safety), Stachitas brings a lot to the table that you like. He's a competitor, a leader, and just knows how to manage a football game and that's something a lot of people overlook in quarterbacks it seems like. He's very smart and should continue developing into a very good quarterback prospect. * * *
73 Dalton Faulds, OG, 6-3, 265. Sr. -- (East Carolina commitment) Playing right guard, Faulds isn't a huge guy and doesn't maul people at the point of attack as a result. He does have very good athletic ability for his size and gets to the 2nd level and downfield very well. If he can maintain most of that as he starts getting bigger and stronger at the next level, he'll be one to keep an eye on because he should develop into a very solid guard at the college level. * *
90 John Gallagher, DE, 6-4, 245, Jr. -- Playing right defensive end, Gallagher looks like an impressive young defensive lineman. He has a good build already and will be even bigger as a senior next season. While he doesn't have blazing quickness, he's strong at the point of attack and has a motor that allows him to chase down a lot of plays. At one point, he was 40 yards downfield making a play. He finished with four tackles, including two for loss. He'll definitely be a Division 1 kid next season.
99 Ramon Booi, DT, 6-5, 330, Sr. -- (Wake Forest commitment) A massive defensive tackle prospect, Booi is built the right way for a two-gap run-stuffing defensive tackle. However, he doesn't play every down (rotates in and out with much smaller and younger players) and isn't real active inside. He finished the game with just one tackle, which is a reason why a lot of people see him becoming an offensive guard at the next level. You can't coach his frame and he does have some athletic ability, especially for a player his size. He has a lot to work with -- just has to become more active and have a better motor that allows him to be on the field more. * *
