The northeastern block of South Carolina is loaded with talent, and the 2022 rankings prove it.
This is the second 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="89321" first="Nizail" last="Robinson"]
School: Mullins
Position: Wide receiver
Analysis: Robinson’s got the size at 6-foot-1 and 179 pounds to stand out on tape, even if the Auctioneers’ struggled during his junior season. His athleticism gives the staff reason enough to let him catch passes, but also to pick up some touches in Wildcat and straight handoffs.
[player_tooltip player_id="91198" first="Terry" last="McKithen"]
School: West Florence
Position: Running back
Analysis: McKithen is definitely one of the state’s sleeper backs, if for no other reason that he catches the ball so well out of the backfield. He had 15 receptions for 160 yards to go along with another 761 yards and six scores on the ground.
[player_tooltip player_id="89322" first="TJ" last="Cox"]
School: North Myrtle Beach<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
Position: Linebacker
Analysis: The Chiefs’ co-leader in tackles (along with [player_tooltip player_id="89308" first="Chandler" last="McCall"]) put up 43.5 stops in 2020. He also had 5.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception, giving North Myrtle Beach’s stout defense a do-it-all type.
[player_tooltip player_id="91207" first="Cameron" last="Freeman"]
School: North Myrtle Beach
Position: Quarterback
Analysis: The future Georgia Tech baseball player has blended in perfectly with the Chiefs’ run-first offense at the high school level. He’s good enough that he’s prevented a talented underling from getting more snaps.
[player_tooltip player_id="91208" first="Elijah" last="Vereen"]
School: North Myrtle Beach
Position: Defensive back
Analysis: Vereen (along with Cox) could thrive numbers wise in 2021, thanks to the Chiefs having to replace their entire defensive line and more of the duties falling on the linebacker corps. Last season, he had 32.5 tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss.
