Impressive 2025 Prospects Making Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1620356' first='Patrick' last='Johnson'] | PF | 2025 | Gateway Charter | @PatJohnson0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-8 powerhouse is turning heads this offseason, fresh off a monstrous junior campaign that crowned him SWFL Player of the Year. With his elite athleticism and well-built frame, Johnson is a walking double-double machine. A menace in the paint, he swats shots with authority and throws down lobs with thunder. As the leader of Gateway Charter, expect him to keep dominating the SWFL hoops scene and elevate his game to even greater heights as he enters his senior season. Keep your eyes peeled — Johnson's senior reign is loading up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1450225' first='Tate' last='Darner'] | G | 2025 | Santa Fe | @TateDarner_</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another one of the top Polk County athletes has found a college home after a recent commitment to The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. One of my top five prospects to watch heading into the new season. Darner can put on a show and do it consistently. I've mentioned this now a few times, but Darner is the top sharpshooter in Polk who has truly found his game in his junior season. I knew of his potential upside but to watch it on display this season has been truly impressive. He's a lights-out shooter as many know but it's the slept-on winning spirit and leadership mentality that may not show up on film.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1450227' first='Xavian' last='Charles'] | G | 2025 | Grandview Prep | @XavianCharles</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charles is listed at 5'10 and has moved over to Palm Beach Central HS. He's an aggressive guard and puts tremendous amount of pressure on the defense, he has a strong, filled out frame that allows him to absorb contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1620358' first='Darius' last='Livingston'] | G | 2025 | Discovery | @DariusLjr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Livingston has found a new home for the next level at Robert Morris University. He's been one of the more consistent guards in his class with a really nice offensive scoring game. Livingston is for sure one of the top basketball players in Polk County. Still has time to grow into his body but his speed, athletic ability, and DOG mentality has taken him to new heights this junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Adyn Corbin | PG | 2025 | The Villages | @Adyncorbin_1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An underrated and undervalued PG in Florida.  Still available as one of the more slept on guards. You don't lead your team to the state semis by accident. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
