Continue ReadingThe Palmetto Combine Series has already taken the state by storm before its initial events.
The three-part series will take place April 30 (Midlands, River Bluff), May 1 (Upper State, York) and May 7 (Lower State, May 7) and feature nearly 1,000 rising juniors and seniors from across the state. As far as those juniors go, the PCS will serve as an introduction of sorts for many of them to get their name out beyond their local ties.
Here are several we’ll be keeping close tabs on during that eight-day span in late April and early May.
MIDLANDS
Andre McFadden-Pressley Andre McFadden-Pressley 6'0" | 305 lbs | DL Lake City | 2024 State SC , DL, Lake City – Pressley-McFadden produced in a big way despite the shortened sophomore season and playing alongside two future DI guys.
Carter Rimpf, OL, Camden – The Bulldogs have been pumping out linemen left and right lately, and Carter Rimpf could be another one. Coach Brian Rimpf’s son is already 6-foot-3 and north of 250 pounds.
Christian Echols Christian Echols 6'4" | 250 lbs | OL Silver Bluff | 2024 State SC , OL, Silver Bluff – Already a two-year starter, Echols is getting some college interest at multiple spots along the line. He’s malleable, and capable of putting up some great combine numbers.
UPPER STATE
Turbo Richard Turbo Richard 5'10" | 205 lbs | RB Northwestern | 2024 State SC , RB, Northwestern – The speedy tailback is probably the next big thing to come out of a Trojans football program that has several other DI recruits on the roster.
Josh Williams Josh Williams 5'11" | 175 lbs | WR Westside | 2024 State SC , WR, Westside – After missing last season with a hip injury, Williams has been making some noise this offseason with his skill set.
Dashun Reeder Dashun Reeder 5'10" | 175 lbs | RB Christ Church | 2024 State SC , RB, Christ Church – You wouldn’t know Reeder was the team’s back-up last year by looking at his numbers. He averaged 10+ yards per carry and ran for more than 700 yards.
LOWER STATE
Braxton Scott Braxton Scott 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB James Island Charter | 2024 State SC , QB, James Island – The newly minted top quarterback in the Prep Red Zone Class of 2024 will have an opportunity to show off his arm strength in front of plenty of coaches.
Kam Pringle Kam Pringle 6'7" | 305 lbs | OL Woodland | 2024 State SC , OL, Woodland – Pringle is among the biggest and best football players in the state, regardless of class. His 6-foot-7, 305-pound frame will be on full display.
Kayden Gaddist Kayden Gaddist 5'10" | 205 lbs | LB Summerville | 2024 State SC , LB, Hanahan – The beast-mode tackler makes the most of every inch of his 5-foot-9 frame. But his power is undeniable and could put on a show.
Rocco Wojcik Rocco Wojcik 5'11" | 165 lbs | QB Socastee | 2024 State SC , QB, Socastee – After two years as a starter (although he often split reps), Wojcik has top-end speed for the position. The quarterback-specific sessions of the combine will be icing on the cake.
