Naples senior Tyler Byrd cleared 24 feet at the Inaugural Jim Smith Invitational in mid March last year and was runner-up at the 3A state meet after winning it all as a sophomore. Byrd, a University of Miami commitment for football is also one of the top cornerbacks in the nation. Jeremy Lawson who transferred from Gainesville High School to Cocoa for his senior year also has the potential to jump over 24 feet. Check out the top 50 boys long jump marks heading into 2016.
