Some players are just asked to do it all for their teams.
At the high school level, it's not uncommon to have your best players move around. Coaches know that some of their players are just more equipped to answer the bell when it matters most, and high-end recruits regularly step into roles that are outside their main position.
The USA TODAY Florida Network Top 100 is filled with such players, and in this breakout we're highlighting five recruits that have proven they are just ball players wherever they line up.
Whatever down, play-call, or situation, these are the players that have risen to to the challenge when their team calls upon them:

When it comes to true, unbridled athletes in the Sunshine State, Yondui takes the cake. And it's not particularly close. The 6-foot-3, 295-pound United Kingdom native dominates the trenches on both sides of the ball, and at a level that would earn a spot on this list on its own merit, but that's just the start. He is also a go-to man on special teams for the Cavaliers: kicking, punting, and holding when called upon. He shows off his eye-popping athleticism in other sports as well. He is a double-double machine with guard skills on the hardwood, and found the back of the net often for Coral Gables' soccer team. For good measure, Yondui also runs the second leg of the 4x100 for the track team.

DeRoche is a hard-nosed tight end that moves the needle all over the field for Cardinal Gibbons. A gifted athlete, the 6-foot-5, 215 pounder is a willing and able blocker that hits his assignments with force. He's also a talented pass catcher, and tallied seven touchdowns on 12 catches through nine games. The Chiefs also use the Miami commit in money down situations on defense, putting him on the edge and letting him loose. He tallied 13 tackles and a sack in key situations for Cardinal Gibbons last year. DeRoche was also an important piece of a strong Cardinal Gibbons basketball team that went 22-7.
