Here it is
1. 2014 WR Ermon Lane (Homestead)
Lane has it all. The size, speed, hands, quickness, and football IQ is all there. He seemingly toys with defenders. He can go deep, across the middle, fades at the goal-line, everything. He has breakaway speed that you can see in his highlights, where he runs away from multiple defenders with angles. He is college-ready right now, 2 years away from his graduation. He would start at Miami right now and I truly believe that. He would be a stud safety or a lockdown corner. I think he is the best player to come out of Dade in years. Miami is the early leader, but Alabama and FSU are high on his list as well.

2. 2013 LB Matthew Thomas (Booker T)
The top player on Miamis board, Thomas is a special talent. He can dominate the game in so many different ways. His pass-rushing is elite off the edge. His 64 205 lb wiry frame and 4.5 speed gives tackles fits. When he drops back into coverage, he disrupts the middle of the field. Thomas is big and fast enough to cover elite tight ends. Landing him would solidify these last two defensive classes with elite talent all over. He is a complete player. FSU, Alabama, and Miami are his top three and the Canes have some work to do, but I would be surprised if he doesnt wind up at Miami by NSD.

3. 2013 WR Stacy Coley (Northeast)
Coley has been compared to a young Randy Moss, just to give you an idea of the type of talent he is. A very smooth player, he has elite speed and runs by safeties with ease. He is a long-strider and is very fun to watch with his highlight-reel catches. Extremely quick in-and-out of his breaks, almost un-coverable. Coley has been a weird case as far as his recruitment and I dont see him winding up in Coral Gables.

4. 2014 OL Trevor Darling (Central)
A Miami commitment, Darling looks like an NFL lineman right now (65, 300). He doesnt have much bad weight, and the little that he does have, he carries well. He is a mauler and very technically sound for somebody his age. Has the potential to start from day 1 at Miami. Quick on his feet and has good strength. Has played a lot on the right side in his first two years of high school, it will be interesting to see how he performs at left tackle eventually.

5. 2014 RB Joseph Yearby (Central)
Yearby is the best pure runner in South Florida. He has great vision and he sees the whole field. He also has great patience. He cuts as well as any running back Ive seen at this level. Does not have breakaway speed, but I feel like he will have the most productive college career out of anybody on this list. Ran for 2,160 yards and 24 TDs last season. This may be the one selection that I will get the most criticism for, but I stand by my belief that Yearby is better than Sony Michel.

6. 2013 ATH Will Likely (Glades Central)
Likely is arguably the best football player on this list. He isnt big (57, 170) or extremely fast, but he is a PLAYMAKER. He is all over the field on defense, is great in the return game, and is a huge threat offensively. He reminds me of Tyrann Mathieu and I think a lot of schools are making a mistake by overlooking him because of his size. Would be the ideal nickel corner at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOfo37oSAAs
7. 2013 DL Joey Bosa (St. Thomas Aquinas)
The Ohio State commit is a monster. At 66 270, he has the speed to rush from the edge and the power to play inside. He has a relentless motor and great pursuit. Miami strangely never offered, but he never showed genuine interest either. Will be a stud in college.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0QoyHehe_4
8. 2014 RB Sony Michel (American Heritage Plantation)
Im bracing myself for the backlash I will receive for putting Michel here. Maybe the most hyped recruit in South Florida in recent memory, Sony will be entering his junior year coming off of a knee injury, which he sustained early in his sophomore year. Reports are that he has recovered nicely and is ready to go for the season. On the field, he is a special talent. His speed is what separates him as well as his prototypical size (511, 190) and great power. He doesnt dance around in the backfield and hits the hole hard. Miami leads, but he is not a lock to the Canes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x50oY6Car2w
9. 2013 DT Keith Bryant (Atlantic Delray)
This Cane commit plays with an attitude that is unmatched. His pursuit of the QB showed last year, as he recorded 13.5 sacks, 17 TFL, and led his team in tackles, which is absolutely crazy for his position. He isnt the biggest (61.5, 290), but is incredibly quick off the ball and has a very powerful lower body. He will be an impact player from day 1 on campus. Bryant is a solid Cane commit, but has continues to take visits. Canes fans shouldnt worry.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irW-szX4qBI
10. 2014 DT Khairi Clark (Chamminade-Madonna)
Clark has great size (63, 285) and is very athletic. He moves well for his size and gets into the backfield with ease. He powers through opposing linemen and is only getting stronger. His long arms cause problems for centers and guards as well. Has a very high ceiling. Clark is an early Miami lean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojwoRSHTdSo
11. 2013 RB Alex Collins (South Plantation)
The most balanced back in South Florida, Collins shows a great mixture of speed and power. He has the ideal size at 5’11 185 and can carry the load with 20-25 touches a game. Has a nose for the end zone, scoring 27 times last year, while leading Broward County in rushing. He doesn’t play in a pro-style offense, so that may be an adjustment for him, but a combination of him and Duke Johnson at Miami could be special. The Canes commit had some grade issues early in high school, but those are reportedly cleared up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6TUXHOFZEk
12. 2014 RB Dalvin Cook (Central)
One of two Central Rocket running backs on this list, Cook has breakaway speed. He is dangerous in the return game and doesn’t need a large amount of touches to impact the game. He can break tackles and is elusive. His ceiling is very high.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QAe8...layer_embedded
13. 2013 S Jamal Carter (Southridge)
Carter has it all athletically. A physical safety (6’2 190), he is a hard hitter and is very good near the line of scrimmage. Carter is great with the ball in his hands as well, showing off his speed and elusiveness in the return game. He is the type of athlete that Coach D’Onofrio has been looking for on the back line of the defense, reminiscent of Ricardo Louis from last year’s class. Carter will be committing next week, and Miami fans should feel very confident.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMLtIFL6SKY
14. 2014 ATH Treon Harris (Booker T)
This selection may cause some debate, but Harris is one of my favorite players in the country. While he plays QB at Booker T, many see him playing slot in college. He says he wants to play QB only, but we will see how things progress over the next two years. On the field, Harris is a baller. He makes plays in and out of the pocket and is a handful for defenses to contain. He is very similar to his brother Thearon Collier in that he isn’t the fastest or biggest, but he just goes out there and makes plays. You like him the more you watch him. Led Booker T to the state title game last year. He likes the Canes a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RooFtSn_-MA
15. 2013 LB Jermaine Grace (Miramar)
Grace is another prospect in this group who Canes fans should feel good about their chances. Grace is a great athlete, showing great speed and coverage skills from the linebacker spot. While he is a little undersized right now (6’1 200), he has a frame to add a lot of weight. He has a great motor and is a big-time tackler. Miami is in great shape and I would be stunned if he doesn’t wind up as a Cane.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot_RrJTLaaA
16. 2013 DB Artie Burns (MNW)
The former Alabama commit, Burns is arguably the best athlete in South Florida. He is the nation’s best hurdler and has great size at 6’1 180. He plays both corner and safety at Northwestern, but I think he is better suited at safety in college. Seems to disappear at times, but I feel like he will be much more consistent this year. He is announcing on July 23rd and Miami is in great shape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gftY-...layer_embedded
17. 2013 OL Denver Kirkland (Booker T)
Kirkland is a high priority for Miami. He wants to play tackle in college, but projects better at guard, where he could be absolutely special. He has great feet for a 6’4 300 pound lineman and recently won MVP at The Opening in Oregon, competing against the top linemen in the country. Miami is right in the game with FSU making a push recently.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RgO7ayN67Y
18. 2013 S/LB Isaac McDonald (Champagnat Catholic)
One of the most unique prospects in the country, McDonald has freakish athleticism at 6’6 with long arms and surprising physicality. He can be scary as an edge rusher and also drop back into coverage and be disruptive. He has incredible range and should be a perfect fight in the West Virginia defense.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIZclmVygvo
19. 2015 ATH JaQuan Johnson (Killian)
The highest rated 2015 prospect on this list, Johnson plays DB and RB for the cougars. He exploded onto the scene last year as a freshman and was awarded 1st team All-Dade Honors for 8A, which is extremely impressive for a freshman. On defense, he is a ballhawk and a good tackler. He has good speed and is a very smart player. He is a playmaker on offense, but I think his future is on the defensive side of the ball. FSU and UF have both offered early on, and Miami should be offering during the season. He likes the Canes a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOn5T...eature=related
20. 2014 WR Jacob McCrary (Coral Reef)
McCrary is a game-breaker with great speed. He can turn a short reception into a touchdown. Has great hands and ball skills, can go into a crowd and come up with the tough catch. Good size (6’1 190) and will continue to put up big numbers with the quality QB play of Nico Pierre. Has a chance to move as high as the top 5 on this list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-gRZIliM6w
21. 2014 OL KC McDermott (Palm Beach Central)
The brother of current Hurricane junior Shane McDermott, KC has been a name on the radar since freshman year. At 66 280, he has the length, flexibility, and technique to play tackle. He has played a lot of guard and center in his first two years of high school, so it will be interesting to see how he progresses over the next two years. Canes are the early favorite and will be tough to beat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldIoRUHexLc
22. 2013 DT Maquedius Bain (University)
Bain is one of the most intriguing prospects in the country. He is raw on the field, but has the physical makeup to develop into a monster. He is about 63 280 and moves very well for somebody his size. He plays basketball as well and you can see that athleticism that makes him such an exciting prospect. Bain shows a nice quickness off the ball. He needs work with technique, but has one of the highest ceilings on this list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMO-r...eature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5mwczTmTq0
23. 2013 RB Kelvin Taylor (Glades Day)
The son of Fred Taylor, Kelvin has been on the scene since an eighth grader. The UF commit is only about 58 and isnt a burner, but his production is literally unmatched, as he holds the all-time state of Florida rushing record with still a season left to add to it. The competition is not good, but his accomplishments cant be ignored. Taylor shows good vision and patience. He will be a good player at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU3XX_VaBVI
24. 2013 WR Jordan Cunningham (University)
Cunningham is a prospect that Miami fans know about because he is one of the top receivers on the board, and has the Canes leading along with Stanford. He isnt as big as his listed 63 (closer to 61), but has been very productive entering his senior year. He isnt a speedster, but has great ball skills. He shows very good ball control and is sure-handed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0diS7F7oQ30
25. 2014 WR Tyre Brady (South Dade)
Brady is one of the most explosive athletes in South Florida. He has impressive size (63 180) and speed. Has long arms and is very fluid. His ceiling is extremely high and he has torn up the 7-on-7 scene. He camped at Miami and won MVP for receivers. He likes the Canes and Ohio State early on.
26. 2014 DB Quincy Wilson (University)
Wilson has been one of the most talked about prospects by Miami fans due to the fact that he hasnt been offered, despite him being a legacy (son of Chad Wilson) and him being highly-regarded. He is a CB/S tweener at 62, is physical, and likes to hit. Camped at Miami, but still was not offered. He will get his Miami offer, but the Canes better hope its not too late once they do. He has expressed some frustration with not receiving it yet. Miami is still in good position.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6_vx1LRzTU
27. 2014 ATH Quinton Flowers (Jackson)
The dual-threat QB is fun to watch. He is an elusive runner and has a live arm. Flowers makes plays inside and outside of the pocket. Has been very productive at the high school level and could put up huge numbers in the right system in college if he stays at QB. I think is a good enough athlete to play receiver in college, time will tell.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOJCTC9YXpU
28. 2014 DE Chad Thomas (Booker T)
The lesser-known Thomas on the Booker T defense, Chad emerged as a force last year. His 64 200 frame with long arms make him a scary threat as a pass-rusher. He will continue to grow into his body and develop. An aggressive tackler with a great motor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkXscP95qSA
29. 2014 WR Adly Enoicy (Atlantic Delray)
Enoicy plays receiver in high school, but I project him at tight end in college. At 64 210, he uses his body incredibly well and boxes out to get jump balls. He is a mismatch problem for smaller defenders. Needs to refine route running, but again, I think he is better suited as a pass-catching tight end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysv5l74QKRo
30. 2013 RB Greg Bryant (American Heritage Delray)
An Oklahoma commit, Bryant shows a good balance of power and speed. He has prototypical running back size at 511 195. Bryant runs compactly and powerfully, as well as showing good elusiveness for his size. North-South runner who projects well in college.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc1OtWGs6cY&feature=related
31. 2013 WR Jesus "Bobo" Wilson (Columbus)
An FSU commit, Wilson scored 11 touchdowns last year with limited touches offensively. He is an explosive athlete who excels in the slot. He can be used in a multitude of ways including the return game. Liked Miami early on, but the Canes didn't show mutual interest. He should be a solid player at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHz04...e_gdata_player
32. 2014 DL Anthony Moten (St. Thomas Aquinas)
The rising junior is already 6'3, 240 with a lot of room to grow. Needs some work technically, but has all the physical tools to be special. I think he is an end in college, but has the frame to play inside. Has the Canes out in front early and he holds an offer.
33. 2014 WR Corey Holmes (St. Thomas Aquinas)
At 6'1, Holmes is a good sized prospect with long arms. He has good hands and body control. He isn't afraid to go up an get the ball. He will be the primary target for STA this year. Holmes holds early offers from Michigan and Florida.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYUjQ...eature=related
34. 2013 ATH Charles "Chucky" Williams (Champagnat Catholic)
The QB at upstart program Champagnat Catholic, Williams defines the word "playmaker". He is great with the ball in his hands and has great size (6'2, 185). He could be a special safety at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ic8T...e_gdata_player
35. 2014 S Marquese Dudley-Gordon (Cypress Bay)
Dudley-Gordon is a prospect who you will hear a lot about during this season. An instinctive player, MDG seems to always be around the ball and isn't afraid to mix it up in the run game. Very good tackler.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6GkH...e_gdata_player
36. 2013 CB Sojourn Shelton (Plantation)
The FSU commit is undersized, but has good cover skills. Doesn't have great speed, but his technique makes up for it. Could have trouble with bigger, more physical receivers at the next level, but he will probably be asked to cover the slot more often than not. He has very good hips and ball skills.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw15D...e_gdata_player
37. 2014 QB Nicodem Pierre (Coral Reef)
Pierre has prototypical size at 6'3, 220. He moves well in the pocket and has good arm strength. Another kid who could be really productive in college in the right system.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efA6w...e_gdata_player
38. 2013 LB Michael Deeb (American Heritage Plantation)
The ND commitment was a favorite of Canes fans for a while. He was on the radar and camped to try to earn the offer, but did not get it. He is very good in the run game and is a very instinctive player. Good size at 6'2, 220.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4AhF...e_gdata_player
39. 2015 RB Johnnie Hankins (Homestead)
One of my personal favorites on the list, Hankins played at South Miami last year and scored 12 touchdowns as a freshman. He isn't the biggest (5'9, 185), but is very shifty and tough to bring down. I expect him to have another great season production-wise. He likes Miami a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUwMV...e_gdata_player
40. 2013 LB George "Debo" Williams (Hialeah)
Williams was a name that was on the radar early in the process. His highlight tape shows why fans love him, as he is an aggressive hitter and very good athlete. Can play both sides of the ball, but his future is probably at linebacker. Would make a good fullback in my opinion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JVISEhAcSY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
41. 2014 ATH Travis Rudolph (Cardinal Newman)
The Miami commit has put up great numbers in his first 2 years of high school. He isn't the most explosive athlete, but he makes plays. Can play both sides of the ball, most likely a corner at Miami.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL5Gw...e_gdata_player
42. 2013 RB Daryl Chestnut (Columbus)
Chestnut is an explosive, quick athlete. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, run between the tackles, and bust it outside. I think he will be a very productive player in college. Grows on you the more you watch him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4RXG...e_gdata_player
43. 2014 CB Al Harris, Jr. (St. Thomas Aquinas)
The bloodlines are here, as well as the cover skills. He has to bulk up some, but he is very technically sound. We will hear his name a lot this year.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3xGi...e_gdata_player
44. 2013 QB Akeem Jones (Carol City)
Jones has good arm strength and athleticism, I think he will be very good at the next level in the right system.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPaE8...e_gdata_player
45. 2013 RB Lorenzo Woodley (Columbus)
One of four Columbus players on this list, Woodley has elite size (6'1, 215) and good athleticism. Has a high ceiling when he works on the nuances of the position. USF and South Carolina are on his trail.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtPdP...e_gdata_player
46. 2015 QB Tucker Beirne (Columbus)
The Colorado transfer has not played a game in South Florida yet, but has all the goods to belong on this list. He has linebacker size (6'2, 215) along with good athleticism and arm strength. Playing at Columbus, we will hear his name a lot over the next 3 years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo5NF...e_gdata_player
47. 2014 CB Trumaine Washington (Killian)
The 5'9 corner is a playmaker. He has good athleticism and is always around the ball. Started at Columbus last year and performed very well at the Al Golden Football camp. He is already on the staff's radar and a big season gives him a good chance at an offer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KNcp...e_gdata_player
48. 2014 LB Frank Newman (Southridge)
Newman is a hard hitter with good size and a good frame (6'1, 210). He holds an FSU offer early on. He likes Miami a lot. I could see the Canes offering. Aggressive player.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY-dU...e_gdata_player
49. 2013 LB/S Wendell Dunn (Palmetto)
Dunn is a versatile prospect who is big enough to play linebacker and has just enough athleticism to slide back to safety. He will probably play some type of hybrid role at the next level. You will hear his name more during the season.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QEv0...e_gdata_player
50. 2013 CB Xavier Hines (Belen)
The CB from Belen has good size (6'0, 175) and long arms. He has had good production at the high school level and will be a good get for somebody. FIU is a possible destination.

Miami is the early leader, but Alabama and FSU are high on his list as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N9D4VIH02k
2. 2013 LB Matthew Thomas (Booker T)
The top player on Miamis board, Thomas is a special talent. He can dominate the game in so many different ways. His pass-rushing is elite off the edge. His 64 205 lb wiry frame and 4.5 speed gives tackles fits. When he drops back into coverage, he disrupts the middle of the field. Thomas is big and fast enough to cover elite tight ends. Landing him would solidify these last two defensive classes with elite talent all over. He is a complete player. FSU, Alabama, and Miami are his top three and the Canes have some work to do, but I would be surprised if he doesnt wind up at Miami by NSD.

3. 2013 WR Stacy Coley (Northeast)
Coley has been compared to a young Randy Moss, just to give you an idea of the type of talent he is. A very smooth player, he has elite speed and runs by safeties with ease. He is a long-strider and is very fun to watch with his highlight-reel catches. Extremely quick in-and-out of his breaks, almost un-coverable. Coley has been a weird case as far as his recruitment and I dont see him winding up in Coral Gables.

Has played a lot on the right side in his first two years of high school, it will be interesting to see how he performs at left tackle eventually.

8. 2014 RB Sony Michel (American Heritage Plantation)
Im bracing myself for the backlash I will receive for putting Michel here. Maybe the most hyped recruit in South Florida in recent memory, Sony will be entering his junior year coming off of a knee injury, which he sustained early in his sophomore year. Reports are that he has recovered nicely and is ready to go for the season. On the field, he is a special talent. His speed is what separates him as well as his prototypical size (511, 190) and great power. He doesnt dance around in the backfield and hits the hole hard. Miami leads, but he is not a lock to the Canes.

10. 2014 DT Khairi Clark (Chamminade-Madonna)
Clark has great size (63, 285) and is very athletic. He moves well for his size and gets into the backfield with ease. He powers through opposing linemen and is only getting stronger. His long arms cause problems for centers and guards as well. Has a very high ceiling. Clark is an early Miami lean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojwoRSHTdSo
11. 2013 RB Alex Collins (South Plantation)
The most balanced back in South Florida, Collins shows a great mixture of speed and power. He has the ideal size at 5’11 185 and can carry the load with 20-25 touches a game. Has a nose for the end zone, scoring 27 times last year, while leading Broward County in rushing. He doesn’t play in a pro-style offense, so that may be an adjustment for him, but a combination of him and Duke Johnson at Miami could be special. The Canes commit had some grade issues early in high school, but those are reportedly cleared up.

12. 2014 RB Dalvin Cook (Central)
One of two Central Rocket running backs on this list, Cook has breakaway speed. He is dangerous in the return game and doesn’t need a large amount of touches to impact the game. He can break tackles and is elusive. His ceiling is very high.

13. 2013 S Jamal Carter (Southridge)
Carter has it all athletically. A physical safety (6’2 190), he is a hard hitter and is very good near the line of scrimmage. Carter is great with the ball in his hands as well, showing off his speed and elusiveness in the return game. He is the type of athlete that Coach D’Onofrio has been looking for on the back line of the defense, reminiscent of Ricardo Louis from last year’s class. Carter will be committing next week, and Miami fans should feel very confident.

14. 2014 ATH Treon Harris (Booker T)
This selection may cause some debate, but Harris is one of my favorite players in the country. While he plays QB at Booker T, many see him playing slot in college. He says he wants to play QB only, but we will see how things progress over the next two years. On the field, Harris is a baller. He makes plays in and out of the pocket and is a handful for defenses to contain. He is very similar to his brother Thearon Collier in that he isn’t the fastest or biggest, but he just goes out there and makes plays. You like him the more you watch him. Led Booker T to the state title game last year. He likes the Canes a lot.

15. 2013 LB Jermaine Grace (Miramar)
Grace is another prospect in this group who Canes fans should feel good about their chances. Grace is a great athlete, showing great speed and coverage skills from the linebacker spot. While he is a little undersized right now (6’1 200), he has a frame to add a lot of weight. He has a great motor and is a big-time tackler. Miami is in great shape and I would be stunned if he doesn’t wind up as a Cane.

16. 2013 DB Artie Burns (MNW)
The former Alabama commit, Burns is arguably the best athlete in South Florida. He is the nation’s best hurdler and has great size at 6’1 180. He plays both corner and safety at Northwestern, but I think he is better suited at safety in college. Seems to disappear at times, but I feel like he will be much more consistent this year. He is announcing on July 23rd and Miami is in great shape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gftY-...layer_embedded
17. 2013 OL Denver Kirkland (Booker T)
Kirkland is a high priority for Miami. He wants to play tackle in college, but projects better at guard, where he could be absolutely special. He has great feet for a 6’4 300 pound lineman and recently won MVP at The Opening in Oregon, competing against the top linemen in the country. Miami is right in the game with FSU making a push recently.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RgO7ayN67Y
18. 2013 S/LB Isaac McDonald (Champagnat Catholic)
One of the most unique prospects in the country, McDonald has freakish athleticism at 6’6 with long arms and surprising physicality. He can be scary as an edge rusher and also drop back into coverage and be disruptive. He has incredible range and should be a perfect fight in the West Virginia defense.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIZclmVygvo
19. 2015 ATH JaQuan Johnson (Killian)
The highest rated 2015 prospect on this list, Johnson plays DB and RB for the cougars. He exploded onto the scene last year as a freshman and was awarded 1st team All-Dade Honors for 8A, which is extremely impressive for a freshman. On defense, he is a ballhawk and a good tackler. He has good speed and is a very smart player. He is a playmaker on offense, but I think his future is on the defensive side of the ball. FSU and UF have both offered early on, and Miami should be offering during the season. He likes the Canes a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOn5T...eature=related
20. 2014 WR Jacob McCrary (Coral Reef)
McCrary is a game-breaker with great speed. He can turn a short reception into a touchdown. Has great hands and ball skills, can go into a crowd and come up with the tough catch. Good size (6’1 190) and will continue to put up big numbers with the quality QB play of Nico Pierre. Has a chance to move as high as the top 5 on this list.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-gRZIliM6w
21. 2014 OL KC McDermott (Palm Beach Central)
The brother of current Hurricane junior Shane McDermott, KC has been a name on the radar since freshman year. At 66 280, he has the length, flexibility, and technique to play tackle. He has played a lot of guard and center in his first two years of high school, so it will be interesting to see how he progresses over the next two years. Canes are the early favorite and will be tough to beat.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldIoRUHexLc
22. 2013 DT Maquedius Bain (University)
Bain is one of the most intriguing prospects in the country. He is raw on the field, but has the physical makeup to develop into a monster. He is about 63 280 and moves very well for somebody his size. He plays basketball as well and you can see that athleticism that makes him such an exciting prospect. Bain shows a nice quickness off the ball. He needs work with technique, but has one of the highest ceilings on this list.

23. 2013 RB Kelvin Taylor (Glades Day)
The son of Fred Taylor, Kelvin has been on the scene since an eighth grader. The UF commit is only about 58 and isnt a burner, but his production is literally unmatched, as he holds the all-time state of Florida rushing record with still a season left to add to it. The competition is not good, but his accomplishments cant be ignored. Taylor shows good vision and patience. He will be a good player at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU3XX_VaBVI
24. 2013 WR Jordan Cunningham (University)
Cunningham is a prospect that Miami fans know about because he is one of the top receivers on the board, and has the Canes leading along with Stanford. He isnt as big as his listed 63 (closer to 61), but has been very productive entering his senior year. He isnt a speedster, but has great ball skills. He shows very good ball control and is sure-handed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0diS7F7oQ30
25. 2014 WR Tyre Brady (South Dade)
Brady is one of the most explosive athletes in South Florida. He has impressive size (63 180) and speed. Has long arms and is very fluid. His ceiling is extremely high and he has torn up the 7-on-7 scene. He camped at Miami and won MVP for receivers. He likes the Canes and Ohio State early on.
26. 2014 DB Quincy Wilson (University)
Wilson has been one of the most talked about prospects by Miami fans due to the fact that he hasnt been offered, despite him being a legacy (son of Chad Wilson) and him being highly-regarded. He is a CB/S tweener at 62, is physical, and likes to hit. Camped at Miami, but still was not offered. He will get his Miami offer, but the Canes better hope its not too late once they do. He has expressed some frustration with not receiving it yet. Miami is still in good position.

27. 2014 ATH Quinton Flowers (Jackson)
The dual-threat QB is fun to watch. He is an elusive runner and has a live arm. Flowers makes plays inside and outside of the pocket. Has been very productive at the high school level and could put up huge numbers in the right system in college if he stays at QB. I think is a good enough athlete to play receiver in college, time will tell.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOJCTC9YXpU
28. 2014 DE Chad Thomas (Booker T)
The lesser-known Thomas on the Booker T defense, Chad emerged as a force last year. His 64 200 frame with long arms make him a scary threat as a pass-rusher. He will continue to grow into his body and develop. An aggressive tackler with a great motor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkXscP95qSA
29. 2014 WR Adly Enoicy (Atlantic Delray)
Enoicy plays receiver in high school, but I project him at tight end in college. At 64 210, he uses his body incredibly well and boxes out to get jump balls. He is a mismatch problem for smaller defenders. Needs to refine route running, but again, I think he is better suited as a pass-catching tight end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysv5l74QKRo
30. 2013 RB Greg Bryant (American Heritage Delray)
An Oklahoma commit, Bryant shows a good balance of power and speed. He has prototypical running back size at 511 195. Bryant runs compactly and powerfully, as well as showing good elusiveness for his size. North-South runner who projects well in college.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc1OtWGs6cY&feature=related
31. 2013 WR Jesus "Bobo" Wilson (Columbus)
An FSU commit, Wilson scored 11 touchdowns last year with limited touches offensively. He is an explosive athlete who excels in the slot. He can be used in a multitude of ways including the return game. Liked Miami early on, but the Canes didn't show mutual interest. He should be a solid player at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHz04...e_gdata_player
32. 2014 DL Anthony Moten (St. Thomas Aquinas)
The rising junior is already 6'3, 240 with a lot of room to grow. Needs some work technically, but has all the physical tools to be special. I think he is an end in college, but has the frame to play inside. Has the Canes out in front early and he holds an offer.
33. 2014 WR Corey Holmes (St. Thomas Aquinas)
At 6'1, Holmes is a good sized prospect with long arms. He has good hands and body control. He isn't afraid to go up an get the ball. He will be the primary target for STA this year. Holmes holds early offers from Michigan and Florida.

34. 2013 ATH Charles "Chucky" Williams (Champagnat Catholic)
The QB at upstart program Champagnat Catholic, Williams defines the word "playmaker". He is great with the ball in his hands and has great size (6'2, 185). He could be a special safety at the next level.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ic8T...e_gdata_player
35. 2014 S Marquese Dudley-Gordon (Cypress Bay)
Dudley-Gordon is a prospect who you will hear a lot about during this season. An instinctive player, MDG seems to always be around the ball and isn't afraid to mix it up in the run game. Very good tackler.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6GkH...e_gdata_player
36. 2013 CB Sojourn Shelton (Plantation)
The FSU commit is undersized, but has good cover skills. Doesn't have great speed, but his technique makes up for it. Could have trouble with bigger, more physical receivers at the next level, but he will probably be asked to cover the slot more often than not. He has very good hips and ball skills.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw15D...e_gdata_player
37. 2014 QB Nicodem Pierre (Coral Reef)
Pierre has prototypical size at 6'3, 220. He moves well in the pocket and has good arm strength. Another kid who could be really productive in college in the right system.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efA6w...e_gdata_player
38. 2013 LB Michael Deeb (American Heritage Plantation)
The ND commitment was a favorite of Canes fans for a while. He was on the radar and camped to try to earn the offer, but did not get it. He is very good in the run game and is a very instinctive player. Good size at 6'2, 220.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4AhF...e_gdata_player
39. 2015 RB Johnnie Hankins (Homestead)
One of my personal favorites on the list, Hankins played at South Miami last year and scored 12 touchdowns as a freshman. He isn't the biggest (5'9, 185), but is very shifty and tough to bring down. I expect him to have another great season production-wise. He likes Miami a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUwMV...e_gdata_player
40. 2013 LB George "Debo" Williams (Hialeah)
Williams was a name that was on the radar early in the process. His highlight tape shows why fans love him, as he is an aggressive hitter and very good athlete. Can play both sides of the ball, but his future is probably at linebacker. Would make a good fullback in my opinion.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JVISEhAcSY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
41. 2014 ATH Travis Rudolph (Cardinal Newman)
The Miami commit has put up great numbers in his first 2 years of high school. He isn't the most explosive athlete, but he makes plays. Can play both sides of the ball, most likely a corner at Miami.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL5Gw...e_gdata_player
42. 2013 RB Daryl Chestnut (Columbus)
Chestnut is an explosive, quick athlete. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, run between the tackles, and bust it outside. I think he will be a very productive player in college. Grows on you the more you watch him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4RXG...e_gdata_player
43. 2014 CB Al Harris, Jr. (St. Thomas Aquinas)
The bloodlines are here, as well as the cover skills. He has to bulk up some, but he is very technically sound. We will hear his name a lot this year.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3xGi...e_gdata_player
44. 2013 QB Akeem Jones (Carol City)
Jones has good arm strength and athleticism, I think he will be very good at the next level in the right system.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPaE8...e_gdata_player
45. 2013 RB Lorenzo Woodley (Columbus)
One of four Columbus players on this list, Woodley has elite size (6'1, 215) and good athleticism. Has a high ceiling when he works on the nuances of the position. USF and South Carolina are on his trail.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtPdP...e_gdata_player
46. 2015 QB Tucker Beirne (Columbus)
The Colorado transfer has not played a game in South Florida yet, but has all the goods to belong on this list. He has linebacker size (6'2, 215) along with good athleticism and arm strength. Playing at Columbus, we will hear his name a lot over the next 3 years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo5NF...e_gdata_player
47. 2014 CB Trumaine Washington (Killian)
The 5'9 corner is a playmaker. He has good athleticism and is always around the ball. Started at Columbus last year and performed very well at the Al Golden Football camp. He is already on the staff's radar and a big season gives him a good chance at an offer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KNcp...e_gdata_player
48. 2014 LB Frank Newman (Southridge)
Newman is a hard hitter with good size and a good frame (6'1, 210). He holds an FSU offer early on. He likes Miami a lot. I could see the Canes offering. Aggressive player.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY-dU...e_gdata_player
49. 2013 LB/S Wendell Dunn (Palmetto)
Dunn is a versatile prospect who is big enough to play linebacker and has just enough athleticism to slide back to safety. He will probably play some type of hybrid role at the next level. You will hear his name more during the season.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QEv0...e_gdata_player
50. 2013 CB Xavier Hines (Belen)
The CB from Belen has good size (6'0, 175) and long arms. He has had good production at the high school level and will be a good get for somebody. FIU is a possible destination.
