Continue ReadingWe already introduced you to some movers in the Class of 2023 rankings.
But this list? Consider these guys the huge shakers. Every one of these players jumped at least 50 spots from September to January.
They had monster senior seasons and were often making noise right on through November and into December. They piled up local and statewide honors. And they stormed right on up our boards in the process.
Jaylin William Davis Jaylin William Davis 5'11" | 220 lbs | LB South Florence | 2023 State SC LB, South Florence (Up 50)
We had a good feeling about Davis (pictured) heading into the year. He proved us right with eye-popping defensive numbers start to finish.
Brody Tesimale Brody Tesimale 5'11" | 215 lbs | LB Catawba Ridge | 2023 State SC LB, Catawba Ridge (Up 51)
Returned from an injury-shortened junior season to put up 89.5 total tackles and wreak all sorts of havoc for the Copperheads.
Zach Hagedon Zach Hagedon 6'0" | 185 lbs | DB Oceanside Collegiate | 2023 State SC DB, Oceanside Collegiate (Up 61)
Hagedon was a Fab 50 selection for a reason. He did so many different things well it was just a matter of where we put him.
Scott Saylor Scott Saylor 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Carolina Forest | 2023 State SC QB, Carolina Forest (Up 63)
What Saylor was doing at the end of the season was something out of a video game. His numbers were that ridiculous.
AJ Miller AJ Miller 6'2" | 250 lbs | DL South Pointe | 2023 State SC DL, South Pointe (Up 68)
Factor in his 13.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, and Miller (73 total tackles) was the complete package for the Stallions.
Taeshaun Sellers Taeshaun Sellers 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Hannah-Pamplico | 2023 State SC WR, Hannah-Pamplico (Up 68)
You can’t pretend to have game speed. Sellers has plenty of it, and his senior season put it on display time and again.
Hunter Puckett Hunter Puckett 6'3" | 240 lbs | ATH Westside | 2023 State SC ATH, Westside (Up 69)
One-part defensive end, one-part running back, Puckett showed out in Myrtle Beach during the Touchstone Energy Bowl.
Mike Gillard Mike Gillard 6'1" | 170 lbs | LB Myrtle Beach | 2023 State SC LB, Myrtle Beach (Up 77)
To think Gillard didn’t play football two years ago is just sort of insane. We’re not done hearing about him, either.
Mikey Rosa Mikey Rosa 6'3" | 220 lbs | LB Wando | 2023 SC LB, Wando (Up 78)
The Citadel is getting a blue-collar linebacker who can stop just about anyone on offense from doing their thing.
Kacy Fields Kacy Fields 6'0" | 190 lbs | RB Beaufort | 2023 State SC ATH, Beaufort (Up 83)
All Fields did in three quarters of a season at tailback was dominate everyone he played against.
Deamonti Garrett Deamonti Garrett 6'2" | 230 lbs | LB Lower Richland | 2023 State SC DL, Lower Richland (Up 84)
The end had the strength to shift inside when necessary, and it’s why he ended his senior season with 74 solo tackles.
Evin Singletary Evin Singletary 5'9" | 160 lbs | WR South Florence | 2023 State SC WR, South Florence (Up 87)
In helping South to the Class 4A state title, Singletary piled up 49 receptions for 1,169 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Will Jenison Will Jenison 6'5" | 285 lbs | OL South Aiken | 2023 State SC OL, South Aiken (Up 115)
In a class full of excellent offensive lineman, Jenison was a stabilizing force for one of the state’s best rushing attacks.
