Amir Dallas Mills-James Amir Dallas Mills-James 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB Southeast Raleigh | 2022 State NC , 6’ 165, QB- Southeast Raleigh
Mills-James made his debut as a starter in the spring and upped his game in the fall with a strong season. He displays excellent awareness in the pocket and has a strong arm for his size. He can throw while stationary and from odd arm angles and on the run.
Christian Contreras Christian Contreras 6'3" | 300 lbs | OL Hibriten | 2022 State NC , 6’3 300, OL- Hiberten
Contreras has been a strong player for a few years, but he’s taken his game to another level as a senior. A bruising run-blocker, Contreras is perfect for Hiberten’s Wing T-influenced offense. Simply put, he flashes the ability to blow people off the line of scrimmage and create huge holes for his running backs.
Gamael Dorsainvil Gamael Dorsainvil 5'9" | 170 lbs | ATH Garner Magnet | 2022 State NC , 5’7 160, Ath.- Garner
Dorsainvil first appeared on our radar in the spring, but cemented his place in the rankings with a great senior season. He plays all over the field, but excels as an underneath receiver with impressive route-running skills. He shows a lot of shiftiness as a route-runner and really gets open.
Caleb Kelly Caleb Kelly 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Walkertown | 2022 State NC , 6’ 175, DB- Walkertown
Kelly, like the other guys on our list, had a strong senior year. A multi-sport athlete, Kelly had a pair of interceptions and six pass deflections over the course of the season. He’s big and physical, but can also run with most receivers.
Connor Schepereel Connor Schepereel 5'11" | 205 lbs | RB Fuquay Varina High | 2022 State NC , 5’11 205, RB- Fuquay-Varina
Schepereel is a bruising fullback that breaks a lot of tackles for Fuquay. Unlike a lot of other fullbacks, he shows some shiftiness in the open field, and can run away from linebackers. After averaging nearly six yards a carry, it’s clear why he’s in the rankings.
Jamarion Montford Jamarion Montford 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH West Carteret | 2022 State NC , 5’11 170, Ath.- West Carteret
We’ve known about Montford for a while and we’ve watched him steadily improve for the last year. He had a strong showing at the VTO All-America challenge and the move to quarterback really worked. He was more than capable as a passer and was borderline dominant as a runner. Oh, he also picked up 26 tackles, intercepted a pass and returned kicks. He’s getting better every time we see him.
