Continue ReadingMore than 30 players from our Class of 2022 state rankings come from the Midlands.
From Sumter to the west side of Lexington County, the central pocket of the state produces battle-tested players who are cutting their teeth just about every game. In six parts, we broke down all of them and what we loved about their games.
This is a list you don’t want to miss.
Jacob Osmanski Jacob Osmanski 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR Pelion | 2022 State SCSchool: Pelion
Position: Wide receiver
Analysis: In the year 2023, some small college is going to line up its H-back in a wildcat formation, confuse the heck out of a defense and end up with a short-yardage TD pass.
Sterling Goodwin Sterling Goodwin 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Ridge View | 2022 State SCSchool: Ridge View
Position: Linebacker
Analysis: Goodwin is definitely a collegiate defensive end in the making. He’s already 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, and he’s got no problem busting up opposing offensive tackles.
Jonathan Chavis Jonathan Chavis 6'2" | 245 lbs | DL Camden | 2022 State SCSchool: Camden
Position: Defensive line
Analysis: At 6-foot-2 and 245 pounds, Chavis is already highly productive for the Bulldogs. And after another offseason of the high-school weight program, his numbers will wow even more.
Tevin Eley Tevin Eley 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Camden | 2022 State SCSchool: Camden
Position: Linebacker
Analysis: Eley’s numbers are going to jump through the roof next season, when a full slate of games and two older players at the position have moved on to the college ranks.
CJ Wicker CJ Wicker 5'11" | 205 lbs | LB Dutch Fork | 2022 State SCSchool: Dutch Fork
Position: Linebacker
Analysis: Put two or three inches on Wicker’s 5-foot-11, 205-pound frame and he’s likely one of the more recruited linebackers in the entire state. His tackle numbers don’t lie.
Isom Harris Isom Harris 5'10" | 215 lbs | QB C.A. Johnson | 2022 State SCSchool: C.A. Johnson
Position: Quarterback
Analysis: Harris doesn’t look like a prototypical college quarterback (5-foot-10, 215 pounds). Just so happens he’s also the Hornets’ top linebacker. Somebody will find a spot for him.
