Freshman are clearly the most overlooked in high school. It’s all about the seniors as it rightfully should be. Freshman on the high school and college levels are making impacts more so now than ever before. The following 2021 freshman have already put many on notice and all of us who follow the sport will be excited to see these young lads grow into men over the next three years.
Troy Stellato, WR Cardinal Gibbons (Fort Lauderdale) South Florida Air Raid is getting great production from the budding star. His size (6’1” 150 pounds) and speed (4.95 40) made him a tough cover at last weekend’s seven on seven tournament.

Corey Collier, CB Miami Palmetto You might want to think twice before throwing to his side of the field. He baits quarterbacks to throw his way and if he is anywhere near he will gobble up an interception or break up the pass more often than not.
