– Nobody opened more eyes than DT Floyd Boucard (Miami Central). We started tweeting about him when he was just running through movement drills, and he went on to dominate one-on-ones and win MVP. He won every rep with lateral quicks and has a stout frame. Originally an ice hockey player from Canada, he played the last couple years in Mobile, AL and just transferred to Central. He was by far the quickest and best DT on the day.

– Cortez Mills (Homestead) was the best WR out there and is a blue-chipper in any class. He looked like a legit 6’1 and uses his oversized hands to easily pluck the ball. His route-running was smooth and he showed the ability to highpoint over defenders in the rare event when he didn’t have separation. He’s a big-time Miami target.

– WR Josh Moore (West Broward) wasn’t far behind Mills. He doesn’t separate as easily, but his catch radius is even larger and he has a strong body. One time, he beat the DB on an in-breaking route, ran through the end zone and effortlessly hurdled a nearby fence. Miami likes him more than the recruiting sites and I can see why.

– CB Ben Hanks (Booker T) was the top cover corner to my eyes. He’s very skinny, but long, patient and always in phase. There were several times where he reached out and plucked the ball as if he were running the route for the WR. He’s a priority at CB.

– DT Randy Adirika (Central) has a pretty simple moveset but won his reps with his length and strength. I like his serious demeanor. DT Myron Charles (Port Charlotte) is more of a gamer than a tester. His body type and athleticism looked average in drills, but he had no problem beating his man. On the flip side, nobody looks better on the hoof than identical twin EDGEs Mandrell and Darryll Desir (Norland). I thought Mandrell was the more impressive of the two. Both should be easy P5 players despite some tightness issues.

– The DB group was the most impressive of the day. CB Chris Ewald (Chaminade) is bigger than I thought and carries more weight than Hanks. His length causes problems at the catch point. CB Gregory “Zae” Thomas (American Heritage) is as big as any CB I’ve ever seen at this level. He is tall and heavy. While he’s not the bendiest mover, he does a nice job finishing the play with strong hands. Several times he got beat initially but ended up snatching the ball away from the receiver. S Amari Wallace (Central) lined up in the nickel and moved like a corner. He puts up Kam Kinchens-type ball production in high school but has added value in man coverage. S Bryce Fitzgerald oozes athleticism even in a setting that doesn’t favor his game. CB Tae Harris (Cedartown, GA) has a well put-together frame and ripped off a 4.38 40.

– The offensive line group looked pretty average. One name that jumped out with his athleticism- Monarch OT Bryan Auguste. His movement skills popped in person, and when I went home and watched his HUDL it looked even better. Kentucky has offered.

– The 2026 LB group impressed me with their length and acceleration. Miami commit Jordan Campbell (Carol City), Demetris Mincey, Jr. (Dillard) and group MVP Adam Alogouin-Al (Benjamin) all had impressive moments, even if they were occasionally raw in coverage. Ezekiel Marcelin (Central) is the top 2025 kid. He started slow but began to find his timing late and broke up several passes. His pure LB game is more suited for Friday nights.

– Some 2026 kids that caught our attention with their physical traits- Chaminade RB/ATH Derek Cooper and Northwestern WR Calvin Russell. My favorite QB was 2026 prospect Dia Bell (American Heritage), son of longtime NBA player Raja Bell. He makes everything look smooth and easy and the ball jumped off his hands during one-on-ones.

We have a ton of interviews and recruiting scoop from the camp on the way, so stay locked on CanesInSight.
