2026 CB Amauri Polydor transferring to St. Frances Academy (Md.) for senior season

One of the top high school football programs in the nation is welcoming an impressive ballhawk to its 2025 roster.

Amauri Polydor, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound cornerback out of Lanham, Md., announced on Friday that he is transferring from Mt. Zion Prep to St. Frances Academy for his senior season:

The move for Polydor follows an impressive junior season that saw him intercept nine passes and deflect plenty more. He also tallied over 30 total tackles for a Mt. Zion Prep team that finished with just three victories last season.

He’ll now head to St. Frances, one of the more well-known football programs in the DMV and the nation. Playing the nation’s third-toughest schedule, according to the Massey Ratings, the Panthers won seven games a season ago and ranked as the No. 19 team in the nation, per the On3 Composite.

Polydor is the No. 42 CB and the No. 9 player in Maryland in the 2026 cycle, according to the On300. He’s now set to join a loaded SFA roster that includes the likes of Maryland five-star EDGE commit Zion Elee, elite four-star safety Jireh Edwards, Maryland three-star tight end commit Damon Hall, Auburn three-star safety commit Wayne Henry, Syracuse three-star linebacker commit Maurice Medley and Maryland three-star CB commit Khmari Bing.

The 2025 cycle saw St. Frances continue to pump out top prospects, too. Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze collected a major haul from the program, signing four-star CB Blake Woodby, four-star defensive lineman Darrion Smith and three-star linebacker Bryce Deas.

SFA four-star safety Byron Baldwin signed with Indiana, while three-star wide receiver Jeremiah Koger (USF) and three-star safety Dwayne Kelly (Toledo) are also set to begin their Division I careers this coming fall.

Polydor currently holds offers from the likes of South Carolina, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Syracuse, Michigan State and Indiana.
