Lake Wales ATH

USA TODAY Florida Top 100 rank: No. 32 overall, No. 2 athlete

Purdy was the marquee weapon in a potent Lake Wales offense last year, leading the team in receiving yards after pulling down 54 passes for 1,045 yards and 11 scores. He is also a supremely talented defensive back, and he often picks up the other teams best receiver in 1-on-1 situations. Rarely tested, he tallied a pair of pass breakups and no interceptions while two other teammates combined for 20 pass breakups and five picks. Purdy is also a dangerous return man, and tallied 337 yards on special teams.

Cardinal Gibbons TE

USA TODAY Florida Top 100 rank: No. 20 overall, No. 1 tight end

DeRoche is a hard-nosed tight end that moves the needle all over the field for Cardinal Gibbons. A gifted athlete, the 6-foot-5, 215 pounder is a willing and able blocker that hits his assignments with force. He's also a talented pass catcher, and tallied seven touchdowns on 12 catches through nine games. The Chiefs also use the Miami commit in money down situations on defense, putting him on the edge and letting him loose. He tallied 13 tackles and a sack in key situations for Cardinal Gibbons last year. DeRoche was also an important piece of a strong Cardinal Gibbons basketball team that went 22-7.

The speedster led the team in receptions (52) and receiving yards (776) while being the go-to return man on special teams (304 yards on kick returns). He has the same nose for the ball at safety, and tallied 26 total tackles and an interception. Crumitie registered a blocked field goal as well.

Brian Dillard

The First Academy ATH

USA TODAY Florida Top 100 rank: No. 65 overall, No. 5 athlete

The Royals leaned on Dillard a lot in his junior campaign, including a long stint at QB1 that saw him toss for 839 yards and 11 touchdowns with five interceptions. He added 508 rushing yards and four scores on 84 carries, and caught 13 passes for 183 more yards and a pair of touchdowns when he moved away from signal caller. He also has impressive instincts at defensive back, and stepped in to support The First Academy's star-studded secondary when called upon.
