USF three-star athlete commitment Brian Dillard is transferring from Orlando (Fla.) The First Academy to Orlando (Fla.) Evans. Dillard is the No. 22 ranked athlete of the 2027 class and No. 56 in the state, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.

Dillard is coming off a 2025 high school football season where he did a little bit of everything for The First Academy as the all-around athlete completed 53 of 89 passes for 839 yards and 11 touchdowns. On the ground, Dillard added 508 yards on 84 touches and four scores and also caught 13 passes for 183 yards, two scores.

Evans has seen its fair share of players transfer in, including 2027 signal caller William Jackson, who transferred in from Camden County (Ga.) during the off-season. Jackson had himself a solid junior season, completing 64 percent of his passes for 1,923 yards, 24 touchdowns and only five interceptions. On the ground, Jackson rushed for 251 yards on 39 attempts and scored three times.

Dillard paired with Jackson creates one of the top quarterback-wide receiver tandems not only in the Central Florida region, but the state of Florida.

The Trojans finished the 2025 season with a 9-3 record before bowing out of the Class 6A playoffs in the regional semifinal round.
