PALM BEACH COUNTY – For the second time, we are fully ranking the very best sophomores in our area.
It is worth doing this now, since the Class of 2023 promises to be the most deeply talented collective we have in years, to say the least.
With the departure of former No. 1 overall player and defensive end Zakaih Saez – he recently transferred from King’s Academy to St. Thomas Aquinas – we will have a new No. 1. It came down to three players: Dwyer wide receiver Elijah Hopkins, King’s Academy quarterback Will Prichard, and Palm Beach Central quarterback Ahmad Haston.
Which one of these three outstanding players snagged the top spot?
You can find out for yourself right now.
