South Florida has produced most of the great safeties in Miami history, including Sean Taylor, Bennie Blades, Darryl Williams and Kenny Phillips. This year's class features multiple Miami-caliber safeties along with several other intriguing and versatile prospects.
Daniel Wright- 6’1, 180 pounds (Cardinal Gibbons)- The total package. Track star who excels in the 200 (22.24), 400 (48.6) and the long jump (22’). Dangerous with the ball in his hands and can make explosive plays in all three phases of the game. In addition to his playmaking ability, Wright is a headhunter over the middle and in run support. Star potential.

Amari Carter- 6’2, 188 pounds (Palm Beach Gardens)- Natural born-thumper. Carter easily generates power without having to build up momentum. Similar game to Major Wright. Holds an offer from Notre Dame and should emerge as a national recruit. May grow into LB.

Billy Gibson- 6’1, 175 pounds (Southridge)- Miami commitment who fits perfectly in Manny Diaz’s system. Excellent tackler who can close distance in a hurry. More of a box safety than a centerfielder.

Nadarius F'agan- 6’2, 200 pounds (Southridge)- Gibson’s teammate on a loaded Southridge defense. ***an plays LB in high school but is built more like a box safety. Best fit may be as hybrid LB/S in a 4-2-5 defense like TCU.
Junior Highlights - Nadarius ***an highlights - Hudl
DeWayne Terry- 6’1, 180 pounds (Dade Christian)- One of the biggest sleepers in Dade County. A coaching friend put me up on Terry, who is an unknown on recruiting services but just received his first offer from the Cal Bears. Excellent two-way athlete with an ideal frame and high character (4.0 GPA). Son of a former NFL player who became a successful personal injury lawyer. The hype is just beginning here.

I wanted to make a separate category for the CB/S tweeners. These guys are versatile athletes who can play either position depending on what they are asked to do.
Naytron Culpepper- 6’1, 175 pounds (Carol City via American)- Rangy, aggressive athlete with very good acceleration. Plays mostly corner in high school but has the toughness to play safety. At corner, he lacks ideal fluidity but makes up for it with length. Lots of upside.
Junior season highlights - Naytron Culpepper highlights - Hudl
Brian Edwards- 6’3 190 pounds (Miramar)- Edwards is the opposite of Culpepper: he plays mostly safety but may project as a corner. Rare fluidity and movement skills at his height. Not a physical tackler, which limits his upside at safety.

George Hunter- 6, 170 pounds (Atlantic)- One of my favorite prospects to watch. His tape reminds me of Brandon Meriweather as Apopka. Very aggressive and has the twitch to deliver brutal headshots. His size fits better at corner, and he has the feet and fluidity to play there. Comes from DB factory that produced Mike Rumph, among others.
