As a sophomore he was a 1st Team All-Dade (5A-1A) selection by the Miami Herald. He tallied 132 tackles, 25 sacks and 3 forced fumbles leading his team to a state 4A championship. Beaver has a nice frame, great speed and is very athletic. The first thing you notice about Beaver on tape is he can go from sideline-to-sideline with the best of them.

TAI ANALYST: Beaver does two things that all great linebackers need to do. He can get to the ball very quickly and he can hit you.

WR Isaac Lipscomb, 6'2 180lbs, Keys Gate Charter (Homestead, FL). Lipscomb is a Florida sleeper who emerged over the summer with some outstanding offers, including pass happy West Virginia. He has a great combination of size and speed. As a sophomore, he registered 20 receptions for

COLLEGES: West Virginia, Syracuse, Cincinnati, Troy and UCF (As of 9/6/2016)
Name: Billy Joseph
Position: Middle Linebacker
School: Northwestern HS (Miami, FL)
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 210lbs
Class: 2018
TAI Level: BCS
​
​
​
Evaluation
Size: Joseph is a bit of a tweener right now. He’s 6’1 and 210lbs. He played DE as a freshman and sophomore, but most coaches will want to see him at linebacker. He likely won’t get north of 230-240lbs in college.
Strength: His strength will continue to improve as Northwestern has one of the best strength and condition programs in south Florida. He needs to continue working on his lower body strength which we see no reason to improve.
Hands: He has good length and does a solid job of using his hands. He is quick enough off the ball that many offensive tackles will have a problem getting a hand on him.
Run/Pass Defense: His strength is getting up the field and causing problems to opposing teams trying to pass the football. He needs to work on coverage skills. Right now he just a rush LB.
Technique: He needs to learn how to play LB but we expect this to improve with more reps.
TAI Level: Joseph is a prospect that really stood out as a freshman. We feel that he can be the next great LB from Northwestern. He will be counted on to put pressure on the QB. Look for him to draw major interest in the fall.

Name: Donovan Georges
Position: Middle Linebacker
School: Champagnat Catholic (Hialeah, FL)
Height: 6-foot-1.5
Weight: 225lbs
Class: 2018
TAI Level: BCS
​
​
​
Evaluation
Size: At 6’1 and a half, 225lbs he already looks like a senior. He has good size and when Donovan develop he could easily be a 245lbs SEC type LB.
Speed/Quickness: He lacks great speed but his quickness allows him to close quickly on a ball carrier. He moves well around the field and with more time to develop this part of his game we see it improving quickly.
Hands: Georges does a decent job of using his hands to get off blocks. It usually takes younger players to learn how to get off blocks and not run into them. He is a downhill type player who don't mind taking on lineman.
Run/Pass Defense: His strength is stopping the run. He can come up on an ISO and blow up the ball carrier. He is at his best as a blitzing linebacker. We would like to see him improve on dropping back in coverage.
Technique: His technique is not where it needs to be due to playing defensive line full time but that’s not much of a concern for us. He understands how to explode through his hips and through a running back.
TAI Level: Georges is the city of Miami next big time linebacker. In a city that’s produced some very good linebackers expect Georges to be next in line. He has the physical attributes to be a very good college player.
Name: Robert Hicks
Position: Defensive End/Outside Linebacker
School: Booker T Washington HS (Miami, FL)
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 230lbs
Class: 2018
TAI Level: BCS
​
​
​
Evaluation
Size: Hicks has a good frame to add the needed weight to play defensive end in college. Worst case scenario he plays OLB in a 3-4 scheme.
Strength: Hicks at times can toss guys around the high school field. Of course there will be an adjustment period once he makes the jump to college.
Footwork: Hicks has a good burst off the line and overall is very quick. He is able to make lineman miss on their blocks and can penetrate into the backfield.
Run/Pass Defense: Hicks has the potential to effect both the run and passing game. He's shaping up to be more of a weakside DE as opposed to a strongside.
Technique: Hicks gets some of the best coaching in the state. He will be accustomed to doing the little things well than most.
TAI Level: Hicks has the potential to be one of the top defensive ends in the state of Florida and the southeast United States next year. He doesn’t have the elite length right now, but he has everything else.
Name: Dominick Watt
Position: Wide Receiver/Safety
School: McArthur HS
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 195 lbs
Class: 2018
TAI Level: BCS
​
​
​
Evaluation
Size: Watt has ideal size to play receiver. He’s a legit 6’2 and gives you a big target. Smaller defensive backs will have problems with him. Watt has a big body and could eventually grow into a defensive prospect.
Speed/Quickness: He is more quick than fast. He doesn’t have great speed but his size allows him to get separation without much problem.
Hands: He has very good hands. Watt does a very good job of snatching the football out of the air. If he gets his hands on the football, Watt will come down with it.
Blocking: He is very physical blocker. If you put a smaller defensive back on the edge Watt will completely wipe that guy out.
Route Running: Watt route running needs some work but overall its not a liability. As he gets older I expect him to become a great route runner. One thing he does well is use his big frame to get open.
TAI Level: Watt is an elite level prospect. He can dominate on offense or defense. It wouldn't
surprise us to see every Power 5 Conference in the country offer him.
Name: Dataveus Robinson
Position: Wide Receiver
School: East Gadsden (FL)
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 170 lbs
40yds: 4.59 secs
Max Bench: N/A
Class: 2018
​
Last year this time Dataveus Robinson was playing at Taylor County HS (Perry, FL). Fast foward one year later and he's gone from a little used wide receiver to the number one offensive threat for East Gadsden HS. During the summer college camp circuit I had the opportunity to see Robinson and at every college camp you could see him getting better. His knack for making the spectacular catch is the first thing you notice. He has deceptive speed and runs good routes. Robinson is a very competitive player that often leads by example and has a very strong desire to win. He possesses an outstanding frame, just needs to fill it out and add more muscle mass.
​
FILM BREAKDOWN: Against Chiles HS (Tallahassee, FL), Robinson scored on a 70 yard pass reception and a 49 yard pass reception. He finished with 4 catches for 168 yards.
​
TAI ANALYST: Robinson has tremendous hands, runs great routes, and has the ability to catch the ball against anyone. Great red zone weapon.
COLLEGES: Robinson has no offers at this point but is being recruited by several division one colleges.

Name: Lamont Finnie Jr.
Position: Athlete
School: ATAP Academy/Miami Edison (FL)
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 175 lbs
40yds: 4.55 secs
Max Bench: 235 pounds
Class: 2018
​
The first time we had the opportunity to see Finnie play during the spring of his sophomore season, it was evident that this was going to be one of the elite players in south Florida to watch for in his class. His quickness is the first thing you notice. He gets outside as quickly as any player we watched, and the best thing about Finnie is that he can play five (quarterback, defensive back, wide receiver, kick returner and punt returner) positions. While many took notice of his speed and game-breaking abilities in the spring game against Naples Golden Gate, Finnie has actually been turning heads since his youth football days at Talcoly Red Raiders. This will be one of the states elite athletes for the upcoming season.
​
FILM BREAKDOWN: Against Naples Golden Gate, Finnie scored on a 44 yard pass reception and also dazzled the fans with his amazing foot speed that allowed him to catch 6 balls for 103 yards.
​
TAI ANALYST: "In the past Miami Edison has had some big time football prospects, but I get the feeling that before Finnie graduates, this is one player everyone will remember!"
COLLEGES: Finnie has two offers from Temple University and University of South Florida with more colleges inquiring every day.
