PRZ Fab 50: Defense, Special Teams

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This month, South Carolina's coaches and even another outlet or two have released their versions of All-State football teams.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>None of them are as involved as this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Red Zone scouts Jed Blackwell, Chris Dearing, Ian Guerin, Wes Kerr, David Shelton and Brandon Stockdale have spent the 2022 season covering games galore. They simultaneously spent the five-week playoff window compiling the Prep Red Zone South Carolina Fab 50.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This list is the best of the best – from kicker to quarterback, offensive linemen to defensive backs. Out of the nearly 10,000 high school varsity football players in the Palmetto State, we cut it to the top 50. That's it. Just 50.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No stone was left unturned to get to that ultra-selective number.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The scouts analyzed production, competition level, fulfillment of expectations and the all-important eye test. Yes, they've seen them all – often more than once or twice. When that wasn't enough, the scouts crushed plenty of film.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Fab 50 kicks off with our selections on Defense and Special Teams.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SPECIALISTS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Braedan Covan</strong> SR, Dorman (LS)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='91354' first='Coleman' last='Franzone'] JR, James Island (P)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jack Weil</strong> SR, Lucy Beckham (K)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DEFENSIVE LINE</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='139299' first='Jordan' last='Boyd'] JR, Silver Bluff</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='146357' first='Tim' last='Castain'] SR, Oceanside Collegiate</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='146361' first='Abraham' last='Fyffe'] SR, Chapman</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='89348' first='De'Andre' last='Jones'] SR, Fort Dorchester</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='262573' first='Chris' last='Marable'] SR, Hilton Head</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='89338' first='Xzavier' last='McLeod'] SR, Camden</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='443499' first='AJ' last='Miller'] SR, South Pointe</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Renardo Parks</strong> SR, Carolina Forest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LINEBACKER</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='146380' first='Cameron' last='Avery'] SR, Cane Bay</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='263155' first='Jaylin' last='William Davis'] SR, South Florence</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='336149' first='Mike' last='Gillard'] SR, Myrtle Beach</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='268582' first='Brayshawn' last='Littlejohn'] SR, Gaffney</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='132398' first='Chandler' last='Perry'] SR, Dutch Fork</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='89334' first='Luke' last='Schuller'] SR, Greenville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='202756' first='Brody' last='Tesimale'] SR, Catawba Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='202737' first='David' last='Wilson'] SR, Spring Valley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DEFENSIVE BACK</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='91357' first='DJ' last='Barksdale II'] SR, South Pointe</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='202743' first='Zyeir' last='Gamble'] SR, Sumter</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='91144' first='Misun' last='Kelley'] SR, Daniel&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='336140' first='Colton' last='Phares'] SR, Beaufort</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='91152' first='Thomas' last='Williams'] SR, Powdersville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>EDITOR'S NOTE:</em> The Fab 50 offensive selections will be released Tuesday.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
