South Carolina coaches held a Shrine Bowl Combine Saturday morning at Brookland-Cayce High School. It was an opportunity to showcase the top senior players in competitive situations. The only measurables done was the weight of each player but they were able to compete in 1-on-1 and 7-on-7 situations. PrepRedZone staff were on hand to evaluate the talent as well. Here are the top seven offensive standouts from the morning workout.      [player_tooltip player_id='997216' first='KD' last='Mosley'] TE/HB, Greenville – Make no mistake about it. The Red Raiders are loaded. Everyone knows about WR [player_tooltip player_id='163871' first='Mazeo' last='Bennett Jr'] and OL [player_tooltip player_id='448975' first='Blake' last='Franks'] but one name they better learn quickly is Mosley. The 6'3”, 220-pound athlete will be a matchup nightmare from either the tight end spot or if you flank him out wide with Bennett. In the 7-on-7 portion of the day, he caught passes down the seam, over the middle and in the flat with ease. Will also play defensive end for Greenville.   [player_tooltip player_id='589009' first='Javion' last='Martin'] QB, Crestwood – Martin impressed in every QB drill they ran. He will be a 4-year starter this season after throwing for 2,845 yards and 34 touchdowns last season. As of now, Martin only has four Division II offers but another highlight reel senior season should change that quickly.   [player_tooltip player_id='771224' first='Will' last='Young'] WR, Brookland-Cayce – Another player that saw his stock rise on Saturday was Young. The Bearcats do-it-all player worked in the slot and the outside. He ran crisp routes and showed good hands with several difficult catches while matched-up with some of the best defensive backs in the state.   [player_tooltip player_id='265222' first='Turbo' last='Richard'] RB, Northwestern – Richards is committed to Boston College and the Eagles might have gotten a steal. Richard has a compact frame, but his thighs are the size of an offensive lineman. He showed good hands in passing catching drills. He ran for 2,500 yards last season for the Trojans and is poised to have that type of season again.   [player_tooltip player_id='771036' first='Dakarai' last='Sumter'] OL, Lower Richland – The Palmetto State is loaded with offensive linemen in the 2024 Class. Three of the top five players in the class are on the offensive line. The 6'8”, 320-pound Sumter is a little further down the list, but he showed off some versatility on Saturday. He showed solid footwork and was able to keep up with speed rushers in 1-on-1 situations.   [player_tooltip player_id='91348' first='Traevon' last='Dunbar'] RB, Midland Valley – Dunbar had an injury-riddled junior season but he's one of the top backs in the state for a reason. Two years ago, he ran for 1,959 and 28 touchdowns at Silver Bluff. He played five games last season and 587 yards, but the explosiveness is back. He could be in line for comeback player of the year awards if they had one.   Cam Sutton TE, Lexington – Sutton is a throwback but had a solid showing Saturday. He was able to get separation from linebackers in 1-on-1 drills and showed soft hands when needed. The 6'3”, 235-pounder will be a key weapon in first-year Lexington coach Dustin Curtis's offensive scheme.
