Thank you to University of Florida cornerbacks coach Brandon Harris for stopping by Rise Preparatory Academy! We appreciate your time and interest in our student-athletes. Go Gators! 🐊🔵🟠

Congratulations to the 20 Rising Stars alumni—16 on defense and four on offense—now rated and ranked by Rivals.com! Previously named to our All-South Florida 8th Grade or Freshman Teams, these sophomores continue to shine nationally. Only four South Florida players recognized by Rivals were outside our selections; they lacked varsity starting experience or sufficient film at the time.

Two cornerbacks making noise early: Jeremiah Polusme (@Jeremiahpolusme) and Nehemiah Floyd (@NehemiahFloyd25). Their film and production have caught my attention as premier Class of 2030 freshmen in South Florida. I’ll review more film over the next three weeks to see who else stands out. That’s the benefit of staying proactive with Rising Stars—sharing film and updates gives me a chance to recognize your performance in real time.

Congratulations to Rising Stars All-South Florida Freshman and Sophomore Team selection Cordell Gibson (@C4Gibson) on joining the 1,000-yard club! Outstanding on the field and in the classroom, with a 3.88 unweighted GPA and dual enrollment at Miami Dade College.

Had a great game vs The First Academy on friday. Unfortunately we only got to play the first half before lightning cancelled the game. Before the delay we were up 17-10! 2/2 PAT 1/1 FG (31yds) 2 tbs

Congratulations to our Rise Preparatory Academy alumni on finding the end zone in college football this week!
