We already delved into some of the quarterbacks heading to the Palmetto Combine South.
But what about the rest of the offensive weapons getting ready to do their thing?
The list of 300 or so athletes heading to Summerville on April 1 will include some of the very best players on that side of the ball across all of South Carolina. These are guys who have already set themselves apart on big stages from Class 5A ball right on down to Class 1A.
There’s no denying how much they could accomplish in a combine setting.
Slayton Ragsdale OL, Barnwell
At 6-foot-3 and 295 pounds, Ragsdale is a powerful run blocker who should be able to put his strength on display in a new event for this year, the medicine ball throw. Along with a couple others on this list, we’re excited to see what he’ll do during the “trench warfare” portion of the day.
Dylan Barbrey OL, Airport
Barbrey is coming off a solid junior season, but also a tremendous performance at the Joanne Langfitt Junior Showcase in Myrtle Beach in December. Barbrey was named the best offensive lineman on the field. He’s 6-foot-6 and 270 pounds, so it’s easy to see why he stands out.
Wushi Ravenel Wushi Ravenel 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR James Island | 2024 State SC WR, James Island
The quick-footed receiver jumped way up our rankings and even into our Fab 50 in December and January after a huge junior season in which he caught 51 passes for 1,167 yards and 14 touchdowns. Ravenel is electric in the open field.
Bryce Rothwell Bryce Rothwell 6'4" | 245 lbs | TE Lucy Beckham | 2024 State SC TE, Lucy Beckham
Rothwell, the No. 10 overall player in our Class of 2024 rankings, has given Lucy Beckham a jumpstart in its young football program. Simply, Rothwell is a coverage and matchup nightmare, thanks to the combination of his size and maneuverability.
Bryce Lawhon Bryce Lawhon 6'6" | 350 lbs | OL Ashley Ridge | 2025 State SC OL, Ashley Ridge
Lawhon is among a small number of players able to say he’s among the 10 biggest players in the state of South Carolina. Even amid some big dudes as his position, we can’t way to see his official measurables – compared to his list 6-foot-7, 320 pounds.
Meliq McGowan Meliq McGowan 6'0" | 180 lbs | RB Goose Creek | 2026 State SC RB, Goose Creek
The Class of 2026 in South Carolina is loaded at the tailback position. McGowan is a great example of it. He got quality carries last fall as a freshman playing for a Class 5A squad that won a bunch of games. He’s 6-foot and 160 pounds and cuts with the best of them at that age.
Brock Feinberg Brock Feinberg 6'1" | 230 lbs | TE Wando | 2025 State SC TE, Wando
No tight end in the afternoon sessions will come into the event with as much notability as Feinberg. He’s been ranked in our system for some time, taking advantage of a ton of playing time at a position that is often overlooked or forgotten about in today’s game.
Ashton Allen-Hawkins Ashton Allen-Hawkins 6'1" | 175 lbs | RB Summerville | 2025 State SC RB, Summerville
Allen-Hawkins (pictured) is such a dynamic tailback because he knows when to juke, when to lower his head and prepare to break a tackle and when to kick it into high gear. He’s a rare combination of exactly what power football teams need at tailback.
Adrian Lamb Adrian Lamb 6'6" | 295 lbs | OL Beaufort | 2024 State SC OL, Beaufort
Lamb, the 26th overall player in our Class of 2024, is a big, big body (6-foot-6, 310 pounds) who moves much better than you think he would. It’s all about his stride and how he uses his feet. It’s tailor made for the events the big guys will be running in Summerville.
