- 2022 Nation Ford OLB/SS Jackson Sims Jackson Sims 5'10" | 185 lbs | LB Nation Ford | 2022 State SC (@Jax_Sims1311) primarily lined up at the safety spot and did a good job of taking angles to the ball and recognizing plays in Friday night’s 55-15 win over Harding University High out of Charlotte, N.C.. Sims recorded a field goal block and a touchdown throw on a fake field goal as well.

- 2022 Clover OL Hagan Smith Hagan Smith 6'6" | 315 lbs | OL Clover | 2022 State SC (@HaganSmith71) impressed us with great footwork in watching his highlights in what was a 23-20 losing effort to Rock Hill on Friday night. He continues to get to the second level to block linebackers.
- 2022 Clover WR/CB Jy Martin Jy Martin 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Byrnes | 2022 State SC (@jymartin_) was an enforcer in that he immediately made tackles on the ball carrier in last week’s game against Rock Hill. He forced a fumble coming down from his safety position and had quick play recognition to see a quick pass and sprint to make the TFL. He caught a touchdown as well.
- 2022 Lakewood CB/WR Zayveon Wells Zayveon Wells 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Lakewood | 2022 State SC (@TheZayveonWells) is versatile and that was on full display against Marlboro County last Friday. At the cornerback position, be careful with the quick game because he has the quickness to make a play on the ball. On offense, he can line up at quarterback or running back and is dynamic once the ball is in his hands.
