MIAMI – The Florida Fire 7-on-7 program held its annual event in North Miami on Saturday. Dozens of college-bound prospects showed up to showcase their talent at the event. Below are eight players that impressed at the daylong workout

Davis, a one-time Oregon State commit, was recently offered by Oregon. He called the Ducks his “dream school,” but plans to way before making another pledge. Davis has a long list of offers and will likely explore them this offseason before settling on a college. Davis was clearly the most active prospect at the event and won most of the dozens of one-on-one reps he took.

Dent is committed to Miami but will likely have plenty of looks around before Signing Day 2019. His talent and relative youth make him a prospect with a sky-high celling. He was up-and-down in coverage on Saturday but his peaks were incredibly impressive.

Ford lack size. That will always hold him back in recruiting, but his acceleration and talent can’t be denied. The running back was one of the most exciting players at the event and was nearly uncoverable during one-on-one work. He currently lists offers from FIU, FAU and McNeese State.

Pope didn’t take many reps as he has little left to prove about his talent. That said, he’s one of the organization’s top college prospects for a reason. Pope is seen as a Miami lean, but he also speaks highly of Alabama.

Moore has added significant weight in the past few months and is starting to look like the owner of a college-ready body. Miami, Michigan Ohio State and others are involved with Moore. It's too early to tell where Moore may land, but the Hurricanes are the current frontrunners.

Crowder, the cousin of former Miami Dolphin Channing Crowder, doesn’t list a single offer and showed up to the event as an unknown. That said, he looked impressive in coverage. Crowder plays safety at his high school but looked capable of sliding over to corner and not missing a beat. He’s physical despite needing to add weight.

Rousseau length makes him intriguing at a number of positions. He could play wide receiver or defensive back. Some schools like him as a defensive end. He’ll need to add weight to play along the line, but he’s a top-level athlete. That much is clear. LSU and Miami are the two school to watch in Rousseau’s recruitment.

One of the event’s youngest prospects, Collier’s is a name to keep in mind down the road. A class-of-2021 prospect won’t make much noise on the recruiting trail now, but he has a massive frame and should fill out. Collier can play either receiver or defensive back and shined against older prospects on Saturday.
