South Florida always produces receivers. What makes this class is exceptional is the overall size and length. Even the small guys aren’t small. There are multiple high-level, P5 prospects in this group and some interesting sleepers.
Jacorey Brooks, Booker T (6’3, 180)- Brand-name prospect who has been making plays against top competition for years. Rare ability to adjust to the ball before the defender can react. Timed only 4.83 as a sophomore but projects much faster with a 22.21 in the 200M. Well-rounded athlete who plays basketball, WR, S and PR. Quick feet for a bigger receiver and can make defenders miss. Physically similar to CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma. Put up 1,167 yards and 16 TDs as a junior. Offers from everyone.
Jaden Alexis, Monarch (6’1, 175)- Emerging athlete who is relatively new to organized football. Son of Washington Huskies and NFL RB Rich Alexis. First-Team All Broward with 920 receiving yards and 9 TDs. Elite speed with an early PR of 10.75 in the 100M. Hawked down Jaylan Knighton while playing CB. Strong build and breaks a lot of tackles. Does much of his damage after the catch, where he runs like a RB with lateral quickness and balance. Lines up all over the field, including in the backfield. Excellent student. More upside than any WR in this class. Miami and Georgia are battling.
Romello Brinson, Northwestern (6’2, 180)- Long receiver with excellent acceleration and turnover at his size. Similar to Dee Wiggins, but more polished and a better overall prospect. Has the ability to go up and over defenders. Skinny legs but a broad upper-body that will put on weight. Surprisingly tough after the catch. Dominated top DBs from Louisiana and California as a member of the Miami Immortals 7-on-7 team. Texas A&M and Miami are highly involved.
Troy Stellato, Cardinal Gibbons (6’, 180)- Strong-bodied WR with legit 4.4 speed. Does most of his damage on crossers where he can use his speed to turn the corner. More Andy Isabella than Wes Welker. Faster in the 40 (4.42) than the shuttle (4.47). Needs to improve his lateral quickness and ability to beat press coverage. Ohio State and Clemson have offered.
Jacolby George, Plantation (5’11, 160)- Breakout junior year with 1,030 yards and 12 TDs. Formed a deadly downfield combination with underrated UT-Martin signee QB Gerard Nesbitt (22.4 yards per catch). Smooth and explosive with the ability to change speeds as a route runner. Hands-catcher with big mitts. Dazzled at camp with one-handed catches and earned invite to UA All-American game. Excels deep where he can track the ball. Consistently gets behind secondaries. Utilized on jet sweeps and screens and can make people miss in space.
Yulkeith Brown, Central (5’10, 174)- Versatile playmaker who has P5 potential at WR, RB or CB. Ran for 1,430 yards as a sophomore at Gulliver before transferring to Central and playing more of a WR/CB role. Plays with flair and has a knack for the acrobatic catch. 11.04 100M as a sophomore. Good balance at RB and can flip his hips at CB. Long-arms to catch outside the frame.

Bralon Brown, Chaminade (6’1, 190)- Son of former NFL defensive back Donald Brown. Battled injuries as a junior but excelled on 7-on-7 and camp circuit. Lean and sudden. Capable of making spectacular catches in traffic but also fights the ball at times. Speed is a concern (12.25 PR as a junior).

Fred Eaford, Deerfield Beach (5’11, 165)- Hialeah transfer coming off a productive year with QB Jaylon Tolbert. Excels at tracking the ball and has upside as a sharp route runner. Similar profile to Miami signee Daz Worsham. Not a burner (4.72 as a sophomore) but plays faster. Offers from South Carolina and Louisville.
https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13234398/5d88fdc7c124310efc16a69f
Quincy Skinner, St. Thomas Aquinas (6’1, 185)- Tooled-up prospect who waited his turn and is poised for a big year. College-ready body. 11.10 PR in the 100M. Needs to become more consistent as a pass-catcher but showed the suddenness and the strength to create separation on the camp circuit. Offers from Kentucky and Maryland.
https://www.hudl.com/video/3/9478967/5e2adc192ab0b60500889712
TJ Huggins, Killian (6’2, 175)- Physical possession receiver who can high-point and pluck the ball. Tough player who competes after the catch and plays special teams.

Oronde Gadsden II, American Heritage (6’4, 190)- Son of Miami Dolphins standout and plays a similar game. High-cut body with room to grow. Adjusts to the ball and high points like his father. Physical attitude and devastating on crack backs. Has deceptive speed and outran the Northwestern defense for a long TD. Savvy with feel for zone. Offers from BC, Kentucky and Iowa State.

Brandon Schabert, AMH Delray (6’1, 185)- Deep sleeper with impressive physical tools. Transfer from small-school Loxahatchee Seminole Ridge who should excel with ’23 star QB Dylan Rizk. Outstanding testing as a sophomore (4.57 forty, 4.35 shuttle, 36.7 VJ) and coaches claim he is now down to 4.4 in the forty with 39 inch VJ. Strong body with ability to elevate and high-point. Also plays Wildcat and KR. Functional quickness will be tested at higher level of football. Butch Davis has offered.
Malik Rutherford, Champagnat (5’9, 165)- Small, feisty competitor with exceptional quickness. Used all over the field and at QB. Has the ability to make people miss in tight spaces. True receiver with feel for passing game. Some similarities to the Browns (Antonio, John and Marquise) early in their development. His quickness can translate into route-running with work and reps. Long speed is a question (11.63 PR as a junior). QB friendly. 1,057 all-purpose yards and 10 TDs. Underrated. Georgia Tech commit.

Michael Jordan, Deerfield Beach (6’1, 195) Coconut Creek transfer who joins a loaded Deerfield receiving corps. Strong-bodied with a knack for big plays.

Has an opportunity to polish his receiving skill with ’22 Pete Zamora and increased competition level. 538 yards and 6 TDs as a junior. Toledo offer.
https://www.hudl.com/video/3/10664682/5d8124eb2aa81f0ea03bebd9
Jahmal Edrine, Fort Lauderdale (6’3, 190)- Big receiver who looks the part. Limited by high school offense that struggled to throw downfield. Has some elusiveness in screen game for a bigger athlete. Upside prospect. Offers from Wake Forest, FIU and FAU.
