FIU three-star-rated 2027 defensive back commit Amari Oquendo is heading back to the Space Coast region for his senior season.
Oquendo told Rivals on Wednesday morning that he’s transferring from Miami Northwestern to Eau Gallie. The defensive back last off-season transferred from Rockledge to Miami Northwestern due to family ties.
“Transferring back to home town,” Oquendo said to Rivals on Wednesday. “Excited to come back and put on a show for my city. Ready to compete.”
The six-foot, 175-pound cornerback saw valuable practice time against some of Florida’s top wide receivers from the 2025 season, getting to face off against the likes of four-star 2027 receiver Nick Lennear, five-star Calvin Russell, and three-star Nicsaint Joseph.
Oquendo joins a Eau Gallie squad that has been knocking on the door of competing for a state championship and is slated to return quarterback Joseph Allen and 2029 standout X’Zavier Corbin.
The Commodores went 9-4 last season and finished as the state’s No. 53 ranked team, according to the final Florida 2025 High School Football Massey Rankings.
