Fun-N-Gun: Rising Stars' All-South Florida Freshman 1st Team
By Jerry Williamson
Methodology: South Florida student, Age 15U, Coachable, Starter, Participated (in at least 3-games) and consisted of 7v7 All-Star action ONLY.
As the No.1 source of South Florida stars of tomorrow -- This past off-season, was yet another exciting ride. As I witnessed, the next wave of talent, as young as eighth-grade, take South Florida 7v7 All-Star football by storm.
I decided to create a traditional 11-man first team offense and defense, despite the 7v7 criteria. I always believe in maximizing exposure and giving my audience the "exclusive" platform for the next wave of talent in South Florida. This list wasn't expanded to make people happy, the names you'll see below -- are football subdivision prospects in waiting.
After years of varsity action: Florida Fire, South Florida Express, Nghmr, Struggle Nation and others, established 15-and-under football teams -- to give the underclassmen their own stage to shine, instead of waiting behind upperclassmen with a plethora of verbal offers. Which was an amazing idea. These 15-and-under teams still challenged varsity teams in tournaments, so it was no walk in the park.
