We nearly had an All-South Florida final at the OT7 seven-on-seven league tournament in Las Vegas, NV.  C1N (Cam Newton’s seven-on-seven team based out of Georgia) needed overtime to beat Defcon in the semifinal before taking on South Florida Express (SFE) in the championship game.  South Florida is known for producing high-level talent and the tradition continues in 2022.  Miami Immortals, the third South Florida team in Vegas, uncharacteristically was eliminated early on championship Sunday.  


See players who play their high school ball in South Florida that performed at a high level in 100-degree plus heat in sin city.  

Quarterbacks

Collin Hurst, 2023, Western (Davie) – South Florida Express


The tournament MVP was clutch in the big moments.  He led SFE to the go-head score in the waning moments of the championship game.  Hurst also led his team to a victory in the FAU seven-on-seven tournament this week.  

Keyone Jenkins, 2023, Miami Central – Defcon

The senior quarterback nearly willed his team to the championship game with his left arm.  Down late to C1N, Jenkins found Cataurus Hicks for the touchdown, then found Gemari Sands in the corner of the end zone.  

Running Backs

Jamari Ford, 2023, Miami Northwestern – Miami Immortals


Perhaps the most exciting player to watch during the entire tournament.  Every time he touched the ball the over/under was set at making at least one defender miss.  Ford is an exceptional all-purpose back catching the football out of the backfield.

Gemari Sands, 2023, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale) – Defcon

Another top-level athlete catching the football.  Sands can come out of the backfield and line up in the slot and be just as dangerous.  His clutch catch in the semifinal took the game against C1N to overtime.

Wide Receivers

Brandon Inniss, 2023, American Heritage (Plantation) – South Florida Express


Every bit of a five-star.  Inniss is dangerous anywhere, on any field, even in dry heat.  His highlight reel from the weekend in Vegas was on par with any other receiver.  Short, immediate, and deep routes, this kid does it all with the tenacity that spectators and coaches love.

Lamar Seymore, 2023, Miami Central – South Florida Express


The Miami Hurricanes commit was productive and reliable throughout.  The senior scored twice in the championship game (touchdown and extra point) and was open on most occasions. He had a couple of “You Got Mossed” moments including this one:


Robbie Washington, 2023, Miami Palmetto – Miami Immortals 


Washington was another Miami Hurricanes commit that made big plays in tight coverage.  Once he got the football he made plays, but for the Miami Immortals, he seemed to not get the ball enough. In their last game, he made two defenders miss in the open field for a touchdown. 

Isaiah Hardge, 2023, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale) – Defcon

The Colorado commit did not drop a pass the entire tournament.  The senior has elite hands and is a smooth route runner.  

Cataurus Hicks, 2023, Miami Central – Defcon

Scored in nearly every game for Defcon.  The senior has elite speed and is able to find open spaces to help move the chains and put points on the board.  Certainly is a player to watch in the fall.  

Defensive Backs

Conrad Hussey, 2023, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale) – Defcon


An ideal ball-hawking safety that hovers around the defensive backfield tracking the football in flight.  The Penn State commit can also play solid man defense as he denied several scores throughout the weekend.  Hussey picked up an offer from Oklahoma this week.  

Antonio Robinson, 2023, Florida Christian, (Westchester) – C1N

Robinson was matched up with some of the best wide receivers in the nation and held his own.  He understands the angles to pursue and how to use his body to deny the football.  


Kimari Robinson, 2023, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale) – Defcon

Also, an underrated player who understands positioning and has the recovery speed to break up passes.  

Daemon Fagan, 2023 American Heritage (Plantation) –  South Florida Express

A threat to intercept the football every time the ball flew over the middle or deep into the corner of the end zone.  Top-tier safety that can cover tons of ground is rarely out of place.  

Athlete 

Zaquan Patterson, 2024, Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood) – Defcon

An overall difference-maker for Defcon.  The junior defended well and caught long and short passes to help his team score.  Patterson is one of the best overall athletes for the 2024 class. 

Honorable Mention

Jalen Brown, 2023, Gulliver (Miami) – Miami Immortals

Jeremiah Smith, 2024, Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood) – South Florida Express

Joshisa Trader, 2024, Miami Central – South Florida Express

LaWayne McCoy, 2024, Avante Garde, (Hollywood) – Defcon

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. Fans and community members eagerly anticipate the final match, ready to support their team with unwavering enthusiasm.The historic Football Hotbed event for Junior Varsity teams is full-sanctioned by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) who is enthusiastic about the events promise in years to come.  Homestead will play Miami Central in the championship held this coming week.   Jahmir McCall with the Portal 305 and Olin Cushion, III JV Championship Series Highlights: Check out this amazing pass and catch from @NMPioneer_FB junior varsity standouts 2027 QB CHAMMBRAYY CAMPBELL to WR MICHAEL CABRE #hotbedworld vid by @ChrisFodde @FHSAA pic.twitter.com/aFXfa8zLf6— Football Hotbed (@FootballHotbed) October 26, 2024 Photos: JV Championship Series @HSHBroncos and @NMPioneer_FB made history. #hotbedworld https://t.co/VWfp1x7Npw— Football Hotbed (@FootballHotbed) October 26, 2024 Arties Knight, head JV Football Coach, Homestead High

Spring Football Excitement Across South Florida

Follow There has been a tremendous amount of excitement across South Florida the past several weeks as teams have begun wrapping up spring practices and having inter-squad scrimmages and spring games. These scrimmages and games are an early indicator of the skill and talent level each school will look to display come the fall.  Once again, South Florida took the majority of the state’s football championships at the Metro Division level that is now defunct. Columbus, St. Thomas Aquinas and Chaminade won the 4M, 3M and 1M titles respectively.  Miami Norland finished as the runner up to Tampa’s Berkley Catholic High School.  This spring, established coaches like Southridge’s Pierre Senatus are upbeat about their program’s potential after having a few seasons under his belt.  In juxtaposition, Miami Northwestern’s first year head coach, NFL Veteran Teddy Bridgewater, is working out the kinks after his first intersquad scrimmage and spring game.  Stay with Footballhotbed.com for the developments of this off season across the Southeast.
