Gavin Owens Gavin Owens 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Rabun Gap | 2025 State GA , Wren QB: Owens is the top-ranked recruit in the 2025 Class, and it’s easy to see why. He threw for more than 1,800 yards as a freshman, tossing 14 touchdowns and rushing for three more. Owens is a guy who can make every throw and who brings strength, accuracy, and field presence even at his young age.
Armoni Weaver Armoni Weaver 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Westside | 2025 State SC , Byrnes DB: Weaver has transferred over from Dorman, where he was one of the leaders for a very good Cavaliers defense despite his young age. Weaver had three tackles for loss, three interceptions, a pass break-up, and 125 return yards, including a pick-six against eventual state champion Gaffney.
Cutter Woods Cutter Woods 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Westside | 2025 State SC , Westside QB: A transfer from Eastside, Woods has plenty of tools. He threw for more than 800 yards as a freshman, with seven TDs. He has plenty of arm on long downfield throws, and lots of zip on passes in traffic over the middle. Woods looks like a player who will thrive in Scott Earley’s offense at Eastside.
Chamarryus Bomar Chamarryus Bomar 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Westside | 2025 State SC , Byrnes ATH: Bomar split time at QB at Dorman as a freshman, and the spark he brings an offense is undeniable. Bomar is electric when he breaks the pocket, and the things he can do with his legs bring an entirely different dynamic to his game. As he gets more experience under center, he’ll be especially dangerous for the Rebels.
Christian Henderson Christian Henderson 5'8" | 160 lbs | DB Greenville | 2025 State SC , Greenville DB: Henderson is another transfer, heading to Greenville from Southside Christian, where he was a key player on a defense that led the Sabres to a state title and allowed five points per game. He contributed four interceptions, five pass break-ups, and 32 tackles in his freshman year. Henderson is a cover guy with track-star speed who also sticks his head in and plays well in run support.
Calvin Choice Calvin Choice 5'9" | 160 lbs | ATH Spartanburg | 2025 State SC , Spartanburg WR: Choice is a physical, explosive receiver who saw some varsity action as a freshman for the Region II-5A champions. He shows enough speed and power to make him a top prospect as he grows.
