In addition to talented teams, the jamboree will feature several of the top recruits in the state.

Here’s a look at some of the recruits to watch during Saturday’s jamboree.

Miami Palmetto 2024 ATH Jacory Barney Jr.

The speedy Barney is a tremendous athlete who Palmetto coaches favorably compare to former Panthers stars Jason Marshall (Florida) and Corey Collier (Florida). Georgia Tech, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska and Utah are among the schools to offer the 6-foot, 160-pounder.

Miami Palmetto 2023 WR Derrick Bohler

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Bohler has seen his recruitment take off during the past six months, adding offers from Pitt, Arizona, Penn State, West Virginia, Michigan and others. Bohler has good size, is physical and has the speed to get separation downfield.

Miami Killian 2023 CB Dwight Bootle Jr.

Bootle, the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs CB Dicaprio Bootle, is a Nebraska commit and the No. 98 recruit on the USA Today Florida Network top 100. The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder has strong coverage skills and broke up 22 passes for Killian in 2021.

Miami Killian 2023 LB/S Stanquan Clark

Ranked No. 66 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100, Clark. The inside linebacker led Killian with 131 tackles, was second on the team in tackles for loss (24), forced fumbles (2) and fumble recoveries (2) last fall. His offers include Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami and Penn State.

Lakewood QB Anthony Colandrea

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound quarterback is committed to Middle Tennessee State. Colandrea, who has a strong arm and moves well in the pocket, accounted for more than 3,600 yards and 32 touchdowns and helped the Spartans reach the Final Four in 2021.

Miami Edison 2024 OL Chenellson Exume

The 6-foot-3, 240-pound lineman started at tackle for the Raiders in 2021 but projects as an interior lineman at the next level. The twin brother of Dinellson Exume, he has several offers including FAU, Maryland, Ole Miss, Pitt and Tennessee.

Miami Edison 2024 DL Dinellson Exume

The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Exume can line up inside or come off the edge. He has a quick first step and the strength to break into the backfield. Exume’s offers include Florida, Florida State, Maryland, Ole Miss and Tennessee. Exume is the twin brother of Chenellson Exume.

Miami Killian 2023 S Mark-Allen Gay

The 6-foot, 183-pound Gay is a big hitter who comes downhill quickly and times his hits well. He recorded 40 tackles and an interception in 2021. Gay’s offers include Coastal Carolina, FIU, FAU, Maryland and Syracuse.

Plantation 2023 WR Jamari Haynes

The 5-foot-10, 160-pound slot receiver has outstanding speed and playmaking ability. He had more than 1,600 all-purpose yards — including 48 catches for 892 yards — and 13 total touchdowns in 2021. Haynes, who will be running in the Class 3A state track meet on Friday, picked up his first offer from Illinois earlier this month.

Miami Edison 2023 WR Nathaniel Joseph

Joseph, a Clemson commit, is one of the premier slot receivers in the class of 2023 and ranks No. 22 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100. He is a quick, shifty playmaker who is an instant highlight whenever he gets the ball in space. Teams usually don’t have punt of kick returns in the spring, which is a shame because Joseph is an elite returner.

Lakewood RB Montravious Lloyd

Lloyd is a big back (6-foot, 205 pounds) with speed, vision, athleticism (evidenced by his highlights of hurdling defenders) and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Lloyd’s recruiting picked up in late January when West Virginia, Florida State, East Carolina, USF, Coastal Carolina and Wake Forest offered.

Miami Palmetto 2024 EDGE Willis McGahee IV

Yes, he is the son of former Miami Hurricanes/NFL RB Willis McGahee. Unlike his father, McGahee’s future will be getting into the backfield as a twitchy edge rusher. The younger McGahee is 6-foot-2, 215 pounds and has offers from Auburn and Michigan.

Treasure Coast 2023 DL Corey McIntyre Jr.

McIntyre, the son of former West Virginia LB/NFL FB Corey McIntyre, is a physical interior lineman with offers from Indiana, N.C. State, Washington State and West Virginia. McIntyre added close to 20 pounds of muscle during the offseason and should continue to add offers during the summer.

Lakewood EDGE Isaiah Nixon

Nixon, a UCF commit, is No. 58 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound lineman has a relentless motor with the lateral quickness to slow down RPO offenses. Nixon has the frame to add weight and he could end up with his hand in the dirt or stand up in college.

Miami Killian 2024 EDGE Dylan Stephenson

Stephenson is one of the top pass rushers in the class of 2024. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder has a high motor, uses his hands well and does an outstanding job of getting into the backfield. His offers include Florida State, Miami, Penn State, Tennessee and UCF.

Miami Killian 2023 LB Bobby Washington

Washington, the twin brother of Robby Washington and son of 2003 Parade All-American RB Bobby Washington, is a Miami commit and the No. 82 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100. The 6-foot-3, 215-pounder is a fast, physical, impact hitter who also can drop into coverage.

Miami Killian 2023 ATH Robby Washington

Washington, the twin brother of Bobby Washington and son of 2003 Parade All-American RB Bobby Washington, averaged more than 16 yards per touch in 2021. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Miami commit is a dynamic playmaker with outstanding speed and return skills. Washington is No. 37 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100.

Stranahan 2023 WR Hykeem Williams

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Williams is ranked No. 15 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100. He’s a big target with strong hands, speed and playmaking ability. Williams’ offers include Alabama, Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, Texas A&M and USC.

Treasure Coast 2023 OL Alex Woods

Coming off a breakout season that helped the Titans reach their first Final Four, Woods is one of the more under-the-radar recruits to watch Saturday. The 6-foot-4, 275 lineman likely projects as a guard but his 6-foot-10 wingspan has others thinking he could play tackle. He has an offer from Pitt and several offers from Group of 5 schools.
