PALM BEACH COUNTY – The 2020 fall football season is finally here, which makes it a great time to release our latest Top 50 for the Class of 2021.
With that said, we will highlight our big movers this time.
Zooming all the way up from No. 49 to No. 25 is Royal Palm Beach quarterback Peyton Mainolfi, who may go down as the best team leader in Palm Beach County. As we should know by now, quarterbacks are at their best when they lead effectively, and Mainolfi fits this description well by all accounts.
More than anything, Mainolfi’s rise has to do with a combination of his junior year statistics and the level of growth he has shown throughout. the offseason. What also helps is that Mainolfi is listed at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, which makes him the tallest senior quarterback we have in Palm Beach County.
Bottom line: Mainolfi’s 24-spot leap is based off his potential, followed by his production from last season.
Next up is Pahokee athlete Geoffrey McKelton, who moved up 13 spots from No. 27 to No. 14 in our latest player rankings.
The Blue Devils standout has been on the college recruiting radar for the past two years, with offers from Indiana and USF. We are not sure where McKelton’s final destination will be, but we are sure that his multiple years of production all over the field have spoken for itself.
The third and final big mover in this iteration is Santaluces safety Link Olibrisse, who scoots up 11 spots from No. 34 to No. 23. He may have only two offers to Tennessee State and Heidelberg, but both are official ones – something that is not easy to get these days as a high school football player.
One other note: All of our top five quarterback have moved up in the latest rankings.
