Class Of 2019 Watch List: The Talent Continues To Flow In South Florida

Larry BlockSFHSSports: Twitter | Facebook

When Daniel Richardson threw four touchdowns against nationally rated St. Thomas Aquinas last Friday night, it sent a message to the nation that Miami's Booker T. Washington was ready to once again compete on a national level.

After four consecutive Class 4A state titles, head coach Tim "Ice" Harris is back in Overtown – and for those who are fans of the Tornadoes and high school football in general – that is great news.

But the most impressive news in that win is that Richardson, who started for the state champs last year, is just a sophomore. But that's not the entire story.

What happens in South Florida, as we have found out with the NFL annually putting out its list of most players from each area, is that we dominate. Over 60 players were from Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. It happens every year.

South Florida is indeed home to the most coveted football prospects in the country – and that has been the case for decades. That's why when new class lists are posted each year, there is a real need to listen and take notes. The proof is in the NFL, and that means every class that rolls out has future game-breakers at the professional level.

Last week, when we gave you a look at the top 75 football players in 2017 and 2018, the attention that it received was amazing, and certainly met with a lot of comments, both good and bad, which is something that we have dealt with for 46 years.

Today, we bring you a starting list of that quality Class of 2019 – where sophomores across this region are impacting teams. We have also provided a link so fans and college coaches can have this information at their fingertips.

If there are prospects NOT listed and you want us to promote and expose, send video links and information to: Floridakids1@aol.com.
