The Football Hotbed High School ExposureShowcase Series features the nation’s best high school quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, defensive backs, linebackers and offensive and defensive lineman. All are set to compete on Football Hotbed’s national stage to measure their growth during the off-season and to compete against the best in the country. With the loss of spring football in most areas due to Covid-19, this year series is important because it gives athletes an opportunity to display their ability on film for colleges and package on their Hudl accounts. The date is August 8, 2020 at Austin Tindell Regional Park in Kissimmee, Florida.

WHATS DIFFERENT ABOUT US?
The National High School Exposure and Future 4 is an off season showcase designed to help get high school athletes to college. Increasingly, these off season evaluations and camps are being weighed heavier in the recruiting process. It’s like taking a standardized academic test. While they aren’t the true measure of ability, they are a good indication and colleges, recruiting services and scouts are using them to draw conclusions about your athlete. During our first ever Future 4, 2019 QB Spencer Rattler (AZ) and 2019 QB Brian Mauer (FL) both finished in the top 5 in Middle School. Last summer during THE OPENING, the nation’s premier High School Event, Rattler and Mauer both made the finals and Rattler walked away as the Elite 11 winner and overall MVP. Both kickstarted their careers at the National Middle School Invitational Showcase.
The biggest difference is having actually college coaches on the field at our showcase. We are inviting Division II coaches from across the country and they will be on hand to watch workouts. It’s a chance to get ahead in the recruiting process and improve your standing with schools who may not even know who you are.
Secondly, the opportunity to compete with some of the best athletes in your high school graduation class and earn the title of best at your position is a resume boosting experience that can empower young athletes with confidence. In the past, winners of this event have gone on to receive significant attention from colleges and even offers. Nigel Bethel, II ran a 4.38 40 yard dash time at our first ever showcase and he eventually signed with the University of Miami.

Miami- Defending state champion Cocoa made it three-straight with a 38-27 win Gadsen County (near Tallahassee) Thursday afternoon in FIU’s Pitbull Stadium. The 2A FHSAA final match up featured Cocoa’s air attack against Gadsen County’s power run attack. Texas A&M commit and Cocoa Tiger quarterback Brady Hart led the way through the air to the tune of 259 yards passing and 1 TD on 22 of 31 passing. His leading wideout was Florida State commit, Jayvan Boggs. He caught 6 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. The ground game was really the back breaker for Gadsen County, ironically, as the Cocoa Tigers racked up 100 yards on the ground as both Hart and Latrison Lane both rushed for 64 yards a piece. Hart took sacks that took away 28 team rushing yards but was clutch picking up first downs on scrambles downfield to keep key drives alive.Cocoa began the scoring with a dart from Hart to Boggs, scoring off a Gadsen County turnover. But the Jaguars from Gadsen County would march right back down the field and tie the game on a Kemarrion Battles rushing touchdown. Battles scored twice, racking up 96 yards on the ground for the Jaguars from the Tallahassee metro area. The game would go back and forth for the duration until Cocoa broke it wide open on a play in the fourth quarter. On fouth down, leading by only four, with under two minutes to play, the Coca Tigers tried to draw the Jags off-sides. It didn’t work. After a time out, they went for it and got not only the two yards needed for a first down, but they also completely iced the game as Lane scored from 42 yards out. It’s the school’s seventh championship, third consecutive and for head coach Ryan Schneider, it cements a legacy.
PLAY CALL OF THE YEAR!!!Cocoa goes for it on 4th and 2 and Latrison Lane scores. That gives the Tigers a 38-27 lead with 1:04 remaining @CocoaFootball @Cocoa_Schneider @LaTrisonLane20 @321preps pic.twitter.com/tdqwPQkgMm— Jon Santucci (@JonSantucci) December 12, 2024

Miami– Chaminade Madonna ran away with their fourth consecutive FHSAA state football title Wednesday night behind a strong ground game and a stingy defense. Head coach Dameon Jones notched his seventh titles in nine years as he added to the nine titles the school has to date.He’s built quite a legacy at Chaminade, due in part to attracting some of the nation’s best players. This years crop had to replace legends like Jeremiah Smith and Joshia Trader who are now Division I football players at the Power four level.They did not disappoint. After two early season losses, Chaminade rolled the remainder of the season. They even knocked off nationally rated, St. Thomas Aquinas along the way. A team they had not played in over 40 years. The star this year for coach Jones? It was undoubtedly Derreck Cooper, a top-rated athlete in the class of 2026. Cooper finished the game with 92 yards rushing on just ten carries and a touchdown. He also had a tackled on defense, where he played predominately in the two years prior to transferring to Chaminade. The passing game was led by Tyler Chance (15 for 20 196, 3 TDs) and paced by junior Denairius Gray who hauled in five catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. Senior Kyle Washington, the only player on the team with four consecutive state title medals as he played as a freshman, also contributed with 4 catches for 34 yards. He’ll head to Atlanta, GA to play for Georgia State next fall.

Orlando- The UCF Knights unfortunately fell short in their quest for an upset victory at home against the Big 12 conference-leading Brigham Young Cougars this past Saturday, with a final score of 37-24. Despite their best efforts and a strong performance throughout the game, the Knights were unable to secure the win they were hoping for in front of their home crowd. The team displayed resilience and determination, but ultimately, it was not enough to overcome their formidable opponents.Starting quarterback Jaccuri Brown, the Miami transfer, was ineffective in his first start, throwing two interceptions before he was benched for former Football Hotbed National Middle School Invitational Showcase finalist, Dylan Rizk. The freshman quarterback came in during the fourth quarter and went 6 for 10 for 102 yards passing and tossed a touchdown. RJ Harvey rushed for 127 yards on 16 carries but it wasn’t enough for the Knights to overcome BYU’s offense led by quarterback Jake Retzlaff was too much for the Knights. Retzlaff finished the game 16 for 24 with 228 yards passing and two touchdowns and added 38 yards on the ground and a score. Next up, UCF hosts Arizona at home. The Bearcats lost to West Virginia 31-26 earlier today.
