The northeastern block of South Carolina is loaded with talent, and the 2022 rankings prove it. This is the fourth in a four-part series breaking down all of those from the Pee Dee who are currently included in our Class of 2022 list. [player_tooltip player_id="59464" first="Adam" last="Randall"] School: Myrtle Beach Position: Wide receiver Analysis: A consensus top-five player in the state for 2022 and arguably one of the nation’s best receivers, the Clemson verbal commitment had a meteoric recruiting rise. He’ll have one more season in pads to add to his highlight film. [player_tooltip player_id="59479" first="Nemo" last="Squire"] School: Dillon Position: Running back Analysis: Squire has been ultra productive, as 2020 showed. It was then that he went for more than 1,600 rushing yards and 15 scores for the Wildcats. He’s got the makings of a 2,000-yard back when he gets a full season as a senior. [player_tooltip player_id="91168" first="Shamontae" last="Burgess"] School: Lake City Position: Wide receiver Analysis: The two-time all-region selection is one of those types of players who just needs a chance to touch the ball. It’s why he had a whole bunch of carries to go along with his reception tally.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> [player_tooltip player_id="89308" first="Chandler" last="McCall"] School: North Myrtle Beach Position: Defensive back/Returns Analysis: McCall’s productivity is starting to gain more traction, if for no other reason that he’s blown up a couple of combines since the end of the 2020 season. His speed and overall athleticism is turning heads and will eventually lead to some nice offers. MATT STROUD School: Hartsville Position: Offensive line Analysis: At 6-foot-6, Stroud is the tallest lineman in our rankings (along with Greenville’s [player_tooltip player_id="61069" first="Justin" last="Jackson"]). And, yet, he’s found way to maintain leverage by keeping himself low on run blocking and coming over the top on pass schemes. [player_tooltip player_id="59494" first="Ryan" last="Burger"] School: Myrtle Beach Position: Quarterback Analysis: An ankle injury couldn’t stop the area’s leading passer from lighting up the scoreboard deep into the Class 4A playoffs. He’s started 14 games already, despite a shortened junior season, and will be as battle tested as they come next year.
