2025 Rankings: CSRA Players Make Their Mark In Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The CSRA zone's impact on the PRZ 2025 rankings starts at the very top.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>South Aiken RB [player_tooltip player_id='272702' first='Jevon' last='Edwards'] is the No. 1-ranked player in the class, and five more players from the area join him to round out the rankings. Here's a look at the six dynamic skill players from the CSRA who are included in the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='272702' first='Jevon' last='Edwards'], RB, South Aiken</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Edwards is a problem. On an offense that featured a junior QB who rushed for more than 2,000 yards, a complementary back would be nice. Try Edwards, who surpassed 1,700 yards on the ground and scored 23 TDs. He's patient enough to follow his blocks and pick his way through, he's explosive enough to run over you if he doesn't run past you, and if he gets his shoulders square and gets a sliver of room, you're about to have a bad, and often embarassing, few seconds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15865044/633f0c44ff0bfb050873a73a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d3da3028338"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong> [player_tooltip player_id='272710' first='Malik' last='Mozone'], LB, Silver Bluff</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mozone had 75 tackles, seven tackles for loss, a qb hurry, and a fumble recovery in his sophomore season for the Bulldogs. He's a physical player and a big hitter, and he looks especially good taking on run blocking and making tackles in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16130201/6388f6c0041e5b051c2b2aeb' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d3da302836d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='272720' first='Cameron' last='Austin'], ATH, Barnwell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Austin is a threat with his arm as well as his legs. He threw for 878 yards and 13 TDs as a sophomore, adding 214 yards on the ground. The Warhorses' offense ran primarily through near-3,000 yard rusher [player_tooltip player_id='262552' first='Tyler' last='J Smith'], but Austin looks poised to take on a much bigger role for Barnwell going forward. He's got a big arm, makes good decisions, and throws well both from the pocket and on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16283703/634190dc688ea715fcb9e202' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d3da3028391"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='605527' first='Jaquel' last='Holman'], DB, South Aiken</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holman plays a little bit beyond his years for the Thoroughbreds. He was the team's third-leading tackler, with 63, and added nine tackles for loss, a sack, an interception, and two forced fumbles. He's great at finding the ball in the middle of misdirection, strong enough to shed blockers, and quick enough to run down plays from behind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16803433/638f589bf31ce506dcd2cb71' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d3da30283b0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='605528' first='Jameat' last='Williams'], ATH, Aiken</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams had a good season at several spots for the Hornets, notably at RB. He'll be expected to take a step up as an upperclassman. He's a quick player who has the athleticism to also be a basketball standout for Aiken. That ability translates to the field.

His long frame will help him as he takes on a bigger offensive role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16092494/61487780f31c930b44715da3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63d3da30283cf"} /-->
