Back in the not too distant past all the Brevard County Talent was always going to the Gators. Recent Palm Bay High School stars such as Reggie Nelson and Joe Cohen have taken the path to Gainesville. Other notable past NFL Greats like Wilbur Marshal and Chris Collinsworth played for Florida via Astronaut High School in Titusville.
Well I am proud to say things are changing. Most recently was Neefy Moffet who had a solid career at FSU from Palm Bay High School to one of the newest WR and current incoming freshman Willie Haulstead from Titusville High School. In addition current 2010 commitment Darious Cummings (DE) from Astronaut High School doesn't appear to be wavering from becoming a future Seminole.
Brevard County is rich with talent and winners. Since 2000 several Brevard County Teams have won State Championships:
2008 Cocoa 3A
2002 Palm Bay 4A
2002 Rockledge 3A
2001 Rockledge 3A
2000 Palm Bay 6A
The pipeline to FSU for Brevard's finest I hope continues.
One player that I feel is way under the Radar is Cocoa's #10 EJ Johnson who had 3 interceptions during the State Title game.
Mike Smith a Running Back from Astronaut High school is also highly talented but a little undersized for what Jimbo seems to prefer (UCF has offered him).
One of EJ Johnson's teammates OG Ronald Patrick 6-2 255lbs has talent and the size, a little smaller......no fat that Coach Trickett may like and he is interested in FSU but I haven't heard of any interest in him. We will have to keep track of that.
Currently the top prospect from Brevard County is Mr. Darious Cummings who is currently the 10th ranked DE in the Nation according to Rivals.com and he is currently committed to FSU.
Whether or not these hometown players go to FSU or not and most likely they all will not, I wish em all the best. Keep your nose clean and be successful boys!
