Greenville – 2024 WR/S Mazeo Bennett
Analysis: Bennett played primarily safety in 2020 and earned a starting spot and it is evident, based on his film, to see why. He can fill the alley well and makes nice form tackles on the ball against the run. He can cover well and read the quarterback’s eyes to make interceptions. He is a threat on offense, too. He played in an option offense where he was used as a running back and showed off his speed well. He will be transferring from Woodmont to nearby Greenville High in the fall.
Fairfield Central – 2023 CB Donavan Watkins
Analysis: Watkins is an impressive cover corner who can win the one-on-one battles against receivers. His ability to turn and find the ball is impressive. He can also fight off blocks to come up and make tackles in run support and can really lay the lumber, like we saw on film. There was one play where he was playing off coverage and he came up quickly to make a play on the ball. He’s also impactful on special teams as well.
Oceanside Collegiate – 2022 LB Rhett Powell
Analysis: The way that Powell pursues the ball carrier is impressive. He takes great angles, not really allowing them to get any momentum going. He’s an impressive run stopper who fill gaps quickly. Be on the lookout for him to have a strong senior season.
Ridge View – 2022 LB Miquel Mason Miquel Mason 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Ridge View | 2022 State SC
Analysis: Mason is a smart and instinctive linebacker. He takes great pursuit angles and attacks the ball at full speed, fighting off blocks with aggression. He can also run and get yards after the interception. He is also a strong student in the classroom with a 3.8 GPA.
