2022 Rankings: Breaking Down The CSRA (Part 5)

With 10 players inside the Prep Red Zone Class of 2022 state rankings top 100 and another 15 in the bottom half, the Central Savannah River Area is chock full of talent. It includes eight-man football players, those in the SCHSL’s Class 4A, and several points in between. After a relative dip in the area’s recruiting scene this year, the CSRA is going to be a boon for future college players next December and February. We broke down the CSRA’s best players in this five-part series. [player_tooltip player_id="59463" first="Nick" last="Williams"] SCHOOL: Fox Creek POSITION: Offensive lineman ANALYSIS: One of the bigger linemen in the state, Williams already has some SEC and ACC offers. And that’s not simply because he’s dominating small-school competition. [player_tooltip player_id="59483" first="Jonathan" last="Schaffer"] SCHOOL: Andrew Jackson Academy POSITION: Running back ANALYSIS: Schaffer would excel in 11-man football, too, evidenced by his production levels both on offense (666 total yards, six touchdowns) and defense (66.5 tackles, five sacks). [player_tooltip player_id="59485" first="Demaurion" last="Ginn"] SCHOOL: South Aiken POSITION: Linebacker ANALYSIS: Ginn has the size, experience and opportunity to develop into one of the state’s best tacklers in 2021. The 6-foot-3, 205 pounder could eventually be a full-time safety. [player_tooltip player_id="92204" first="Jack" last="Greenway"] SCHOOL: North Augusta POSITION: Offensive lineman ANALYSIS: Greenway split time in 2020 between offensive tackle and tight end, and he certainly projects well into the college ranks at either, depending on who you ask. [player_tooltip player_id="59484" first="Garrison" last="Owens"] SCHOOL: Jefferson Davis Academy POSITION: Offensive lineman ANALYSIS: An absolute beast of a lineman at 6-foot-7 and 315 pounds, Owens is the first thing you notice when the Raiders set foot on any field.
