According to The Portal 305, 2027 athlete Jonathan Bueno Jr. is transferring from True North Classical to Western High School. It's the latest big time transfer to come out of South Florida. 

Last season for the Class 1M state semifinalist Knights, Bueno Jr. was an intricate piece to the offense. Running the ball, the freshman rushed for 988 yards on 118 carries and scored 17 touchdowns. Lining up wide and catching passes, Bueno Jr. hauled in 18 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
