19 wins in a Row! The Windermere Wolverines have just gone back-to-back Independent League champions with a huge win against the undefeated Innovation Bulls (9-0). The standard for excellence has been set by one of the best program builder’s in Coack Riki Smith (@CoachSmith100) former State Champion coach at Central Florida’s powerhouse in Dr. Phillips High School. Coach Smith took over a program that prior to him has never been close to .500 football. Now they have not lost in two seasons. That is a testament to Coach Smith and his staff for setting the standard at Windermere. Truly a remarkable feat and one that not a lot of people believed in but Coach Smith and staff. This was their closest matchup with a win of 21-7.

Rare athlete with elite track speed and DB instincts. Turns and runs like a sprinter and finishes like a safety. Fluid and confident player with top end burst. Has Sunday traits. Blazing acceleration and top-tier speed. Has an effortless stride length, instant change of gears. Twitchy hips and elite transition burst. Clean pedal and plant, very explosive out of the break. Truly an elite prospect. Three phase playmaker. Scored a TD on the goal line during a toss play. 10.2 track 100m runner and 4.3 40-yard dash. One of the best prospects in the state of Florida.
Henry Rogers | @Henry_Rogers10 | c/o 2026 | RB
True workhorse back who had multiple 10+ yard runs, scored twice and really controlled the game for the Wolverines. Was the most productive player when he was on the field. Runs with power through contact, relentless forward lean, runs behind his pads. He breaks arm tackles with ease. A north and south finisher. Decisive in short yardage and I only saw one run where he lost yardage. Runs with a Blue-collar mentality and wears the defense down. He sets the tone early. Built like a LB and runs like one too.
Eduardo Russomanno | @ERussomann65661 | c/o 2027 | Safety
Eddie had an interception to start the game and an interception to seal the game. Tracks the ball naturally and anticipates routes. A reliable open field tackler with closing speed. Possesses downhill burst and quick trigger from depth. Plays with range. Fearless and confident competitor with a high motor. Patrols the deep middle like a hawk.
Elijah Mosby | @Elijah_Mosby_ | c/o 2026 | DE
Elijah was around the QB all night. Recorded 2 sacks and multiple quarterback pressures. Was a disruptive force off the edge. High upside frame. Every Down Difference Maker! Built for the modern game; long, twitchy and explosive. Was a nightmare for the Innovation tackles. Elite wingspan and length. Great stride length closing to the QB. Lean but powerful frame. Disruptive with length and leverage. High level pursuit motor. Knows how to use his length to keep lineman off him.
Jaylen Davis | @JayDavis444 | c/o 2027 | WR/RB
Jaylen is a do it all offensive weapon with high upside. Swiss army knife on offense. He is a mismatch creator who is dynamic in space. Offensive chess piece and game plan nightmare for the opposing defense. Short area burst with a sudden change of direction. Natural body control. Is a patient runner with great vision. Dangerous one-cut burst. Comfortable lining up in the slot or out wide.
Congratulations to the Windermere Wolverines for the 2025 Independent League Championship.
