Read more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/hssports/2011/06/florida-summer-class-of-2013-top-100.html#storylink=cpy
Over the next 18 month, you will see a number of prospects for the Class of 2013 in the state of Florida. 

Because there are as many as 375 Division 1 players in this class, there are a number of athletes who will be listed by different sources as a top prospect to watch. If you've followed recruiting in this state for any length of time, you will continue to find prospects right up until February 2013.

This listing is a starting point as we head into summer. With camps, combines, practices, 7-on-7 tournaments and games, many of these players will either play their way up - or down the list. Remember, if there are names not listed, this is the first of many updates the Miami Herald will make as we continue to cover the state with player evaluation and promotion of all players at every class! 

Thank you for making us one of the most valuable information sources for high school football in the state of Florida. It's something we've done for over 4 decades - when there was no internet or video to reference.

2012 Spring Football Report, April 30, 2012

Leesburg High School Head Football Coach Randy Trivers.
By Gerald Lacey
Staff Writer
Carver Heights Quarterback Club
April 30, 2012

LEESBURG - Tomorrow is the official first day of FHSAA Spring Football practice for High Schools in the state of Florida. The Fightin' Yellow Jackets of  Leesburg High School will begin their spring football practice under second year head coach Randy Trivers in the next few days.


The Jackets will have to deal with the loss of D'Mauri Jones (Left 2012 University of Miami, FL signee) and (Right Noor Davis 2012 Under Armour High School All-American, 2012 Stanford University signee) this season. Davis and Jones led Leesburg to a 8-2 (2-2) in 2011 barely missing the playoffs.
Key Returnees: Jermaine Gasden, Jeremy Jones, Austin Walker, Lee Bennett, Anthony Miller, Bryant Benton, Demitric Blue, James Eldridge, Jordan Tucker, Chris Smith, Adriel Handsborough, Devonte Williams, Undra Mitchem Jr, Estader Maurepas, Cameron Jackson and Tyler Reed.

The Yellow Jackets return 30 lettermen off a squad that went 8-2 (2-2) in its first year of Class 7A football competition. Even with the loss of  Davis and Jones the Jackets are expected to make a strong push at its first District title since 2007 and its third since 1969.

Leesburg High School #31 LB/TE Jordan Tucker
Leesburg's defense will be led by LB/TE Jordan Tucker who is being coveted by the University of Florida, University of Central Florida, University of Miami (FL), University of South Florida, Florida State University, and University of South Florida too name a few. Tucker is a big play linebacker that will find his way to the end zone on the defensive side of the football. With a strong spring game performance, Tucker will see his list of choices of schools expand rapidly. Don't be surprised if you see him slip into the ESPNU150 list before seasons end.

The offense will be led by Undra Mitchem, Jr. who along with Tucker is listed on the Orlando Sentinel Super 60 watchlist. Mitchem will enter this season with two years of starting experience at quarterback on the varsity level under his belt.

Leesburg High School #23 DB Bryant "Mr. No" Benton
Demitric Blue, Bryant Benton, Lee Bennett and James Eldridge all sophomores last season saw extensive playing time in the 2011 campaign and will benefit from that in the upcoming season. Look for all four of these youngsters to have breakout seasons in 2012.

The offense will miss Jones big play ability and someone will have to step up to replace him and Roberts at wide receiver. Anthony Miller will be looked upon to lead the running game with the loss of Emanuel Nelson to graduation. When healthy he has shown the ability to be a big time playmaker in Trivers I formation offense.

Estader Maurepas and Chris Smith will help anchor a solid offensive line unit.

Leesburg High School #5 DB Jermaine Gasden, Jr.
DB Jermaine Gasden is becoming one of the best defensive backs in Central Florida. Look for him to have a outstanding spring and have a big impact in the 2012 season.

Tyler Reed will be bigger and stronger this spring and will anchor the defensive line for the Jackets with a strong spring and summer this guy will no longer fly up under the radar of college recruiters this upcoming season.

Austin Walker was a big factor in the 2011 campaign with his punting, special teams play and big play ability on defense. He should have no problem taking his game to the next level this season. Walker and James Eldrigde will keep the Yellow Jackets kicking game strong again this season.


Leesburg High School #9 P/LB Austin Walker
Although Leesburg is a undersized Class 7A team and the smallest school in their district they proved last year that they can play with the big boys going 3-2 against Class 7A opponents with both losses coming on the road to Orlando Maynard Evans and Clermont East Ridge. Both teams were district opponents and ranked in the Associated Press Class 7A Top Ten poll most of the season. The size of his team doesn't concern Trivers and his coaching philosophy.

"We need to step it up." said Trivers in a interview with Frank Jolley on the Daily Commercial Friday Nights Lights. "We are the smallest school in our district that might apply a little bit but there are only eleven guys playing on the field at the same time. So regardless of how many thousands of kids that you got or hundreds of kids you have, all that stuff. I mean you only field eleven so they are going to have eleven and we are going to have eleven."

"So the whole 6A, 7A, 8A all of that stuff, we really don't think about all that stuff," said Trivers. We just need to go out there and execute the plan that we put in place. Hopefully our coaches will coach well and our kids will play well" 

The Jackets had no problem handling its Lake and Sumter County opponents going 5-1 in 2011. The Jackets have had the past two seasons to learn Trivers college style system and he is hopeful that the Jacket Nation will see the results on the field this upcoming season.

Danny Trevathan: Little-known facts about the 2012 NFL Draft







The Denver Broncos won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes last month, which, not surprisingly, made Tim Tebow expendable, resulting in his trade to the New York Jets for fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2012 NFL Draft.


So who'd the Broncos use those two picks on? Baylor center Philip Blake (fourth) and Kentucky linebacker Danny Trevathan (Leesburg High School, Leesburg Florida), (sixth).

Winston Guy and Danny Trevathan (Leesburg High School, Leesburg Florida) spent their entire senior seasons as Kentucky Wildcats alongside one another, flying to the football and leading the Southeastern Conference in tackles.

Fittingly, the two heard their names called just a few minutes apart in the 2012 NFL Draft. Guy and Trevathan were each selected in the sixth round of the draft, with Guy going to the Seattle Seahawks at 181st overall and Trevathan seven picks later to the Denver Broncos.

A year ago at this time, Guy was making the transition from safety to a hybrid role in Rick Minter's new Kentucky defense. He wasn't sure what implications the move would have on his professional future and whether it would prove beneficial to him and the team.

After an extremely productive senior season and now a selection in the NFL Draft, it's safe to say the change paid off. The 6-foot-1, 218-pounder made 120 tackles in 2011 and was the 14th safety selected in the draft. The Seahawks currently have four safeties on their roster, including Pro Bowler Earl Thomas. He will head to the Pacific Northwest looking to sustain the productivity of his final UK season, during which he made 120 tackles.

"He's very big and athletic," ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said. "They moved him around a lot. He was not a true safety. He was basically a hybrid linebacker/safety combo...For a kid his size, runs pretty well, can cover the field, very long arms." READ MORE CLICK BELOW
