Coral Gables, FL – The University of Miami continues to make their imprint in the South Florida Community under the helm of Head Coach Mark Richt.  At the 2018 Mark Richt Football Camp, schools from throughout South Florida gathered to participate in Offensive and Defensive Lineman Drills as well as a seven on seven tournament.  The two day event gives the University of Miami coaching staff a close look at some of the area talent. Southridge emerged as tournament champions defeating Hialeah 25-16 in the final Saturday.  

 

“I felt like we played pretty well,” said four star defensive back and Miami target Tyrique Stevenson.  “It’s great to get the win out here with my teammates.”  

Stevenson is currently recruited by the top schools in the nation and is expected to graduate in December.  He is aiming to make a decision then during the early signing period and likes his relationship with the Hurricane coaching staff.  

“My relationship with them is great.  If I ever need to talk to any of them for any advice I can easily pick up the phone and talk to them.”

Stevenson is looking to narrow his college choice to a top five during the summer.  

The Hurricanes offered two defensive lineman on another scorching day in South Florida.  Jason Munoz of St. Thomas Aquinas and Savion Collins of Southwest Miami.  Both were standouts in one on one drills and earned their offers on this day.  Collins was honored to receive his very first offer from The U.

 

“I’m just excited,” said Collins.  “I’m really happy to get things flowing.  My goal now is to just get better everyday.”

 

Miami is an ideal choice for Collins and his mother, but his father is a fan of the Seminoles and may want to persuade the young talent to take his talents to Tallahassee.

Others performing at a high level at today’s camp were Doral receiver Baron Grant and Hialeah defensive end Sha’mar Sparks.  Grant, the 2020 seven on seven receiver from South Florida Express, seem to catch every ball that came his way in heavy traffic.  

 

While Sparks, the 2020 defender who stands at 6’3” 255 pounds, just overpowered his opponents in one on one drills.  

Current Miami Hurricanes Jaquan Johnson, Shaquille Quarterman, DJ Ivey, Sheldrick Redwine and Brian Hightower participated as referees during the seven on seven matches.  Camp continues Sunday with new participants and other potential offers may be waiting.

JV Championship Series: Homestead Outlasts North Miami 26-22

Follow Miami Gardens, FL- The Homestead Broncos Junior Varsity Team earned a birth in the inaugural Football Hotbed JV Championship Series Final this week outlasting the North Miami Pioneers 26-22.  It was a thrilling match that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle. The Broncos showcased their resilience and teamwork, coming from behind to secure the victory. The game was marked by impressive plays, with standout performances from both teams.  The game’s overall MVP was 2027 quarterback Jahmir McCall of Homestead High.  The Broncos’ quarterback delivered a stellar performance, throwing two touchdown passes and maintaining composure under pressure. Freshman running back Jermaine Green caught the first touchdown reception out of the backfield and the go-ahead touchdown was secured by 2028 wide receiver Gemani Smith. Meanwhile, the defense held strong during critical moments, thwarting the Pioneers’ advances with key tackles and interceptions.  The game sealing pass deflection was made by 2028 defensive back Leone Leonidas. The Pioneers played an excellent game, especially offensively led by their sophomore quarterback, Chammbrayy Campbell.  He hooked up with North Miami 2027 wide out Michael Cabre to open the game’s scoring.  The post-corner pass was perfect and Cabre made a great adjustment to the ball for the touchdown reception. Overall, the Pioneers couldn’t overcome playing sloppy toward the end of the game as turnovers and penalties killed drives.  They turned the ball over with a fumble into the endzone and had an interception on the 1-yard line on drives that would have probably ended up as scores. On the final drive of the game, the Pioneers were thwarted by the Homestead defense that had bended but not broken all game.  As the Broncos celebrated their hard-fought win, they set their sights on the upcoming final, determined to bring home the championship trophy. The team’s coaches praised the players’ dedication and spirit, acknowledging their hard work and commitment throughout the season.
