Familiar Faces, Fresh Recognition: Additions to the '26 Rankings

We are now to the final rankings update in Florida before the season begins. The latest rankings update features more than 350 prospects across the state including several familiar names who have earned their spot through strong play and steady growth. This update highlights players who have made an impact and are proving they belong among Florida's best. Check out the names below for names that have been overlooked but are now unmissable:    Sariah returns to New Smyrna Beach after winning a state championship last season instead of making the move back to Georgia. She was second on the team in assists and fourth in scoring which is a testament to her playmaking ability. As a senior, she'll be looked to for leadership on a roster that lost two key pieces but still has plenty of talent and reloaded a bit. As a shifty and crafty lefty, Sariah thrives at getting to the rim and setting the tone defensively with her relentless motor and competitiveness.     Sydney continues to raise her game each season and has become one of Wharton's most reliable two-way players that is a nightly double-double threat. At nearly six feet tall, she combines power and versatility as the team's leading rebounder last season with 7.1 boards per game while adding 9.4 points and 2.1 steals. Her strong frame allows her to battle inside yet she moves well enough to defend multiple positions and finish through contact. With multiple Division III offers and a JUCO offer already on the table, Sydney's steady growth and impact on both ends make her a key piece for Wharton this year.     Jayla makes her long-awaited return from an ACL injury and is set to bring a spark back to Wharton this season. As a sophomore, she averaged 9.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.1 steals, and 2.1 assists per game which shows her ability to produce in every aspect of the game. Her energy, toughness, and hunger to compete will set the tone for her team both as a leader and a reliable scorer. Expect Jayla to attack the basket with confidence and play with the kind of intensity that inspires those around her.     Kaytee enters her senior season at Zephyrhills Christian Academy ready to take on a new challenge after three strong years of continuous improvement at Wharton. She led Wharton in scoring last season with 12.7 points per game and added 6.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.9 steals which shows her impact across the stat sheet. Now surrounded by more weapons and depth, she's expected to be a key piece in ZCA's push through a demanding schedule. Kaytee's experience, versatility, and consistency make her a major factor for one of the state's most intriguing teams.     Sela is an underrated guard who consistently finds ways to impact the game on both ends of the floor. She led a 17-win Carrollton squad in scoring with 11.8 points and 4.4 assists per game while also ranking second in rebounds (4.2) and steals (2.1). Her ability to control the tempo and make plays for teammates shows strong leadership and maturity. With NAIA and Division III offers already on the table, Sela's all-around game and steady presence make her a name to keep watching out of the 305.     Madison is a dynamic multi-sport athlete who brings energy to everything she does. After leading Pembroke Pines Charter in scoring with 12.8 points per game last season, she's now set to make an impact at Western as a transfer. Her speed, awareness, and relentless motor translate seamlessly between basketball and flag football where her high-level athleticism always stands out. With a Division II offer already in hand for BOTH sports, Madison's competitiveness continues to separate her from the pack.
