DYARA TORRES: “The Center Every Team Wishes They Had”

Why Dyara Torres Is Redefining the Center Position in Flag Football

In football, one position is consistently overlooked—the offensive line. They’re the protectors, the stabilizers, the ones who give the quarterback time to read, react, and execute. But in flag football, the job becomes even harder. There’s no blocking, no physical protection, no way to create a pocket. In this sport, your center is the only line of defense between your quarterback and relentless pressure.

That’s why having a center like Dyara Torres is a game-changer.

The Best Snapper in the State of Florida

Simply put: Dyara Torres is the best snapper in the state of Florida.

Her consistency, strength, and precision are unlike anything typically seen at the high school level—especially in girls flag football. Early in the 2025 season, during the matchup between Varela and South Miami, Dyara put on a snapping clinic that left everyone on the sidelines talking.

We watched her practice long snaps from 10 to 15 yards back—a range unheard of in this sport. Every snap was clean, fast, and placed exactly where her quarterback needed it. In game play, it was nearly impossible to record a sack on the Varela quarterback. The timing was perfect, the placement flawless, and the rhythm unstoppable.

Flag football usually limits the offense’s ability to create space, but Dyara’s long snaps extend the field in ways that defenses simply aren’t prepared to handle.

Consistency That Changes the Game

According to Coach Danny Gilbert, who has a strong reputation for developing both offensive and defensive talent, Dyara’s average snap distance is 10 yards, with a confirmed max of 15 yards.

That kind of ability completely changes how an offense operates.It buys time.It widens passing lanes.It forces defenses to cover more ground.And most importantly, it keeps your quarterback safe—without ever needing to block.

There is a reason Varela’s offense has looked so smooth and hard to disrupt this season. It starts with the snap. It starts with Dyara.

Hats Off to Coach Gilbert

Coach Gilbert continues to show why he’s one of the most respected developers of talent in the state. Producing athletes on both sides of the ball isn’t easy, but he makes it look effortless. His ability to recognize Dyara’s strengths and allow her to fully showcase them is a testament to his coaching excellence.

Hats off to you, Coach. You’re doing an incredible job—and Dyara Torres is proof.

A Center Worth Spotlighting

Centers rarely get headlines.They rarely get praise.But when you have a player like Dyara Torres, ignoring her impact would be impossible.

Her skill set is rare. Her consistency is elite. And her value to her team?Immeasurable.

Why Dyara Torres MUST Be Selected for the Dade vs. Broward Game

If the Dade vs. Broward game is truly about showcasing the best talent in South Florida, then it’s time to acknowledge a position that has been overlooked for far too long: center. And there is no athlete more deserving of representing that position than Dyara Torres.

Her ability to consistently snap 10–15 yards—something unheard of in flag football—gives her team a strategic advantage that no other player provides. She changes the spacing of the field. She changes the timing of the offense. She changes how defenses are forced to play. That is the definition of an impact player.

Adding the center position to the Dade vs. Broward game would elevate the competitiveness and authenticity of the event, and Dyara’s inclusion would set the standard for what elite center play should look like. Leaving her out would mean overlooking one of the most unique and valuable athletes in the state.
