2022 Rankings: Breaking Down The Lowcountry (Part 4)

Ian Guerin January 27, 2021 @ 04:12 PM

The Lowcountry zone of South Carolina offered up 12 top-100 players in the Class of 2022 rankings. But that was just the beginning. In total, more than 30 prep standouts from that section of the state dotted our list for the classification. In this six-part series, we’re going to break down every single one of them. If you’ve got a need, we’re here to tell you how to fill it. Every position is represented, often two or three times over (if not more). This is your recruiting road map to the Lowcountry for the Class of 2022. [player_tooltip player_id="89313" first="Devin" last="Geddis"] SCHOOL: Fort Dorchester POSITION: Defensive line ANALYSIS: Geddis is a hand-in-the-dirt end who plays with the power of an interior lineman. His pursuit in the backfield or along the edges are both high-end traits of his skill set. [player_tooltip player_id="91188" first="Khyon" last="Smith"] SCHOOL: Goose Creek POSITION: Receiver ANALYSIS: More often than not, when an opposing corner gave Smith an inch last season, he took it to the house. He finished the year with seven touchdowns in eight games. [player_tooltip player_id="89318" first="Demetrius" last="Watson"] SCHOOL: Fort Dorchester POSITION: Defensive line ANALYSIS: The 6-foot-3, 250-pound guard has an explosive pop at the snap that can’t be taught. As such, he’s often shifted to end for the occasional play. [player_tooltip player_id="89320" first="Carnell" last="Jones"] SCHOOL: Summerville POSITION: Defensive line ANALYSIS: The interior guard is much quicker than you’d think for a 6-foot-3, 280 pounder. And if he’s pursuing in space, his long strides give him an advantage there, too. [player_tooltip player_id="89319" first="Tyler" last="Haley"] SCHOOL: Beaufort POSITION: Quarterback<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> ANALYSIS: At 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, Haley certainly has the size for the position. He’s also got some above average production. He completed two-thirds of his passes last year.
