Rankings Analysis: Florida rich with five-star talent

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PrepSoccer Boys Player Rankings for the Class of 2025 for Florida were released last week. The Florida Class of 2025 includes some of the brightest talent in the country. Two of the top talents from the state have left for other opportunities. [player_tooltip player_id='10157' first='Malachi' last='Molina'], the FC Dallas Academy standout, is a Miami, Florida-native. He is part of <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/texas/rankings/boys/2025-rankings/" data-type="page" data-id="56182" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Texas player rankings for the class of 2025</a>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='9658' first='Axel' last='Perez'], one of the top talents in the country, left the Inter Miami academy over a year ago. U.S. Soccer confirmed his move to Lyon, the French club, earlier this year. Perez is a key member of the U.S. Youth National Team program.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even with top talent out of the state, Florida still has plenty of other prospects among the best in the country. [player_tooltip player_id='56799' first='Santiago' last='Morales'], the son of Javier Morales, is the top player in the class. Morales was a key player for Inter Miami's U15 squad last season, which won the MLS Next Cup in July in Texas. Morales was the MVP for that age group. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkHn-ifxNXE","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkHn-ifxNXE </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The depth of the talent pool extends way past just one or two academies in Florida.
