[player_tooltip player_id='2415592' first='Jacari' last='Lofton'] | F | Edgewater | @Cariwitda3   Lofton brings an intriguing blend of size and athleticism at the forward spot. The 6-6 senior runs the floor well and is at his best in transition where he can use his bounce to finish above the rim. Defensively, his length allows him to contest shots and cover space effectively, giving him versatility on that end. As he continues developing his half-court offensive game, Lofton's physical tools and motor give him solid upside as a two-way forward.   [player_tooltip player_id='2217915' first='Jayden' last='Aristile'] | G | 2026 | Seminole | @iayden7   Aristile plays with an aggressive downhill approach that puts pressure on defenses. He's quick off the bounce and isn't afraid to attack the lane, using his speed to get into the paint and finish through contact. He's also shown flashes with his pull-up game and perimeter shooting. As that outside shot continues to improve, it opens up even more opportunities for him as a scoring guard.   Lucas Boyd | G | 2026 | Windermere | @lucas23boyd   Boyd has built a reputation as a reliable perimeter shooter. He moves well without the ball, knocking down shots off screens and catch-and-shoot opportunities. When defenders close out hard, he's capable of putting the ball on the floor and making the next play. His ability to play both on and off the ball adds flexibility to a backcourt.   [player_tooltip player_id='2134668' first='Angelo' last='Moton'] | F | 2026 | Leesburg | @angelo_moton   Moton has been one of the more productive forwards in Florida this season, averaging 25.2 points per game. He uses his strength well inside, scoring around the basket while also rebounding his position effectively. His ability to consistently produce offensively has been a major part of Leesburg's success this year.   [player_tooltip player_id='2134671' first='Brandon' last='Brazell'] | G | 2026 | Martin County | @Brandon24skunk   Brazell wrapped up his senior season showing the type of size and versatility that college programs look for on the wing. At 6-6, he brings length and athleticism while playing with a physical edge offensively. He's comfortable finishing through contact at the rim and can also knock down shots when spotting up on the perimeter. Defensively, his frame allows him to match up across multiple positions, using his length to contest shots and disrupt passing lanes. Brazell also rebounds well for a guard, making him a productive two-way option as he transitions to the next level.   Christopher Stoddart | F | CCC | @_ChrisStoddart   Stoddart brings a stretch-forward skillset that fits well with today's game. He spaces the floor with his shooting ability while also competing physically on the boards. Defensively, he rotates well and uses his length to disrupt plays. His motor and versatility give him the potential to contribute in multiple areas at the next level.   Calvin Thomas | F | Rickards | @cthomas__4   Thomas brings a physical presence and a strong work rate every time he steps on the floor. The athletic wing-forward competes on the glass and is willing to battle in the paint while also guarding multiple positions. His toughness and defensive effort give him value, especially in games that become physical.   Elijah Bernadin | F | 2026 | Armwood | @Elijahbernadin7   Bernadin has used his 6-7 frame effectively throughout the season. He protects the rim, rebounds consistently, and finishes well around the basket. Statistically, he's backed that up with 11.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game while shooting over 50 percent inside. One of his most notable performances came against Brandon when he posted 26 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 blocks, showing his impact on both ends.   AJ Ambrose | G | 2026 | Cardinal Gibbons | @AJ4ambrose   Ambrose is another unsigned senior guard who brings strong feel and decision-making to the floor. He averaged 15.9 points per game while shooting efficiently and consistently making the right reads within the offense. His basketball IQ stands out, and he competes with toughness on both ends, highlighted by taking 80 charges over his high school career. Ambrose's poise and leadership make him a dependable backcourt option for college programs still evaluating late additions.
