South Floridians who could be drafted

As the April 26-28 NFL draft approaches, check out the players who graduated from Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade high schools who could go in the NFL Draft.

Following a stellar four-year career with the Gamecocks, Lammons, who played quarterback with the Colonels before transitioning to defensive back in college, hopes to get drafted late. Playing safety in college but likely a cornerback prospect at hte pro level, he played 43 games, made 168 tackles, intercepted four passes and broke up 14 more while forcing three fumbles at South Carolina. Lammons lost both of his parents at the age of 11.

For those who follow high school football in South Florida, Michel has been a household name for nine years now, first earning praise for his play as an eighth-grader at Heritage. After rushing for 3,613 yards and 33 touchdowns — 16 as a senior — over four seasons with the Bulldogs working alongside Nick Chubb, Michel could go in the second round.

A long and lean linebacker, Moore was the Gamecocks’ leading tackler in all four seasons he played. In 2016, a herniated disc in his neck caused him to miss what would’ve originally been his senior year before coming back for a fifth season. He could go in the late rounds. Smith is projected as a 4th-7th round pick.

A five-star prospect out of Booker T., Thomas only collected 99 tackles and nine sacks over four seasons at UM but his physical traits still should give scouts a lot to love. “Major Nine” could be a Day 2 draft selection but could also drop to early in Day 3.

A long, 6-foot-3, 232-pound outside linebacker, Thomas projects as a late-round selection after five years at FSU. A former five-star recruit, he has speed off the edge and in pursuit but has questionable size and technique.
