TODAY’S MATCHUP: Tampa vs. Miami
The Case for Tampa
The Tampa area is home to two of the best in the Sunshine State – Tampa Berkeley Prep five-star athlete Nelson Agholor and St. Petersburg Lakewood five-star defensive end Dante Fowler Jr..
Nelson Agholor is one of two five-stars in the Tampa area.
While those two headline the area’s talent, they aren’t the only game-changers located in the area.
In addition to that five-star duo, another standout from the Tampa area is the nation’s top tight end, Land O’Lakes four-star Kent Taylor. Taylor is located just a short distance from the Tampa area. Joining Taylor as an offensive standout in the area is Seffner (Fla.) Armwood running back Matt Jones.
