There were several movers and shakers among players in the Midlands. We look at the top-ranked player at each position covering Calhoun, Kershaw, Lexington, Newberry, Richland, and Sumter Counties in this roundup.
DeQuandre Smith DeQuandre Smith 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Spring Valley | 2022 State SC , QB, Spring Valley
Several schools are recruiting Smith as a defensive back, but he wants to get a shot to prove himself at quarterback. He is a three-year starter and is a dual-threat option for the Vikings. The No. 16 ranked prospect in the state.
CJ Stokes CJ Stokes 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Hammond School | 2022 State SC , RB, Hammond
The Michigan verbal commit is off to a fast start to his senior season. He just had 149 yards and five touchdowns on just 10 carries last week. He’s powerful and has a sneaky burst of speed that translates well to the next level. He comes in at No. 8 overall.
Antonio Williams Antonio Williams 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Dutch Fork | 2022 State SC , WR, Dutch Fork
The No. 5 player in the state has trimmed his list to a final 6 – four SEC schools and two ACC schools. Whoever lands the 6-1, 180-pound speedster is getting a gifted route-runner and someone that could be dangerous in the return game.
Donovan Edwards Donovan Edwards 6'4" | 285 lbs | OL Camden | 2022 State SC , OL, Camden
The 6-4, 285 tackle is the No. 34 player in the state. By the time he reaches college, he likely will be around 300 pounds and a candidate to find early playing time.
Gray Leaphart Gray Leaphart 6'4" | 220 lbs | TE Gilbert | 2022 State SC , TE, Gilbert
Leaphart is a player that has seen his stock rise quickly over the last four months. He checks in at No. 97 overall He is a two-way player for the Indians but his 6-4, 220 pounds frame should fit well as a college tight end.
Davin Jackson Davin Jackson 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Sumter | 2022 State SC , DL, Sumter
The N.C. State verbal commit creates havoc on the defensive front for Sumter. He is 6-2, 240 pounds and could very easily add muscle as he transitions to the college level. He is the No. 22 overall prospect.
Tyrell Green Tyrell Green 6'0" | 195 lbs | LB AC Flora | 2022 State SC , LB, A.C. Flora
Green, who is 6-0, 195 pounds, went from unranked in the previous rankings all the way up to the No. 60 player overall. He is a three-year starter and is quickly moving up the recruiting board for several schools.
Zayveon Wells Zayveon Wells 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Lakewood | 2022 State SC , DB, Lakewood
The 5-10, 170-pound corner comes in at No. 19 overall in the rankings. He has shutdown skills and is on the radar of several FBS programs.
Mason Suber Mason Suber 5'11" | 170 lbs | P Chapin | 2022 State SC , K, Chapin
Suber is listed as a punter, but he handles kickoff and place-kicking duties for the Eagles as well. Rarely does he have a kick-off returned, he hardly misses from 45 yards and in and his punting can flip the field very quickly. He’s a weapon for unbeaten Chapin.
