OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
Garris Chambers Garris Chambers 5'11" | 260 lbs | OL Silver Bluff | 2025 State SC Silver Bluff – That OL beside Chambers’ name on the Silver Bluff roster? That means all of it. Chambers has played center, guard, and tackle during his career, and is now penciled in to start at right guard for the Bulldogs.
Blake Franks Blake Franks 6'5" | 310 lbs | OL Greenville | 2024 State SC Greenville – A massive, talented left tackle, Franks is the lynchpin of the Red Raiders’ offensive line. They’ve got all five starters back, and Franks and his teammates up front are a huge part of what’s fueling sky-high expectations in Greenville.
Steven O’Dell Broome – O’Dell has the size and strength of a tackle, but moves and pulls like a quick guard. He’s able to run sideline-to-sideline better than most, and that athleticism allows Broome to do a ton of different things.
Kam Pringle Kam Pringle 6'7" | 305 lbs | OL Woodland | 2024 State SC Woodland – Speaking of allowing his team to do different things, Pringle is another one of those guys. He’s just simply so dominant that he allows Woodland to try things. Overwhelmingly, the results are going to be a positive play.
Slayton Stokes Slayton Stokes 6'5" | 325 lbs | OL Hartsville | 2024 State SC Hartsville – Stokes is another guy who can play anywhere on the offensive line. The Foxes have been working him at center, where precision and discipline are the key to their offense. Anywhere he plays, he’s likely to dominate.
Josiah Thompson Josiah Thompson 6'7" | 290 lbs | OL Dillon | 2024 State SC Dillon: Thompson is committed to South Carolina. He plays like he’s already there. Thompson is often head and shoulders ahead of opposing defensive linemen, and he’s a huge reason that hopes for another title run are high in Dillon.
Dakarai Sumter Dakarai Sumter 6'8" | 320 lbs | OL Lower Richland | 2024 State SC Lower Richland – 6-foot-8, 320 pounds, one of the Diamonds’ hardest workers, AND a complete understanding of the offense? Sumter checks every box for Lower Richland
Watson Young Watson Young 6'2" | 260 lbs | OL Daniel | 2024 State SC Daniel – Young has the versatility to play either guard position or at center. He’s a strong player, and has a little bit of the nasty streak that offensive line coaches love.
TIGHT ENDS
Kyan Kennedy Kyan Kennedy 6'3" | 215 lbs | TE Chester | 2024 State SC Chester – Like most high-level tight ends, Kennedy is a little bit of an athletic freak in the best sense of the word. He’s big, physical, and strong enough to shine in the blocking game, athletic enough to stretch the field with his receiving talents, and also contributes a ton on defense.
Bryce Rothwell Bryce Rothwell 6'4" | 245 lbs | TE Lucy Beckham | 2024 State SC Lucy Beckham – Rothwell is a 6-foot-4, 245-pound walking matchup nightmare. He’s great at the line of scrimmage, and he consistently makes plays down the field.
RECEIVERS
Mazeo Bennett Mazeo Bennett 6'0" | 170 lbs | ATH Greenville | 2024 State SC Greenville – Bennett will line up at several positions for the Red Raiders, and he’ll be electric at every one of them. Last season, most of his success came at receiver, where he accounted for 847 yards and 14 scores.
Jaquarius Mayrant Jaquarius Mayrant 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Camden | 2024 State SC Camden – There’s fast, and then there’s SO fast that you’ve got to get a guy the ball. Want to guess which one Mayrant (pictured) is? He’s an all-region DB, but he’ll play a huge offensive role for the Bulldogs.
Avery McFadden Avery McFadden 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Hillcrest | 2024 State SC Hillcrest – McFadden’s another one of those got-to-get-it-to-him guys. He’s just a playmaker, whether he’s carrying it, turning a short pass into a big gain, going to get the long ball, or returning kicks.
Wushi Ravenel Wushi Ravenel 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR James Island | 2024 State SC James Island – Ravenel is a big-play guy among big-play guys. Our top-rated 2024 receiver, he averaged 23 yards per catch last season, scoring 14 TDs and hauling in 51 balls for more than 1,200 yards.
Jayden Sellers Jayden Sellers 5'11" | 160 lbs | WR South Florence | 2025 State SC South Florence – Sellers was a key guy during the Bruins’ run to the Class 4A state title last season, and he’s back for more. Last year, he caught 39 passes for 827 yards and 12 TDs.
Braylon Staley Braylon Staley 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR Strom Thurmond | 2024 State SC Strom Thurmond – Staley, an Aiken transfer, is an absolute burner who’s no stranger to going to get the ball. How highly-regarded is Staley? Well, Alabama’s offered if that tells you anything.
Jyron Waiters Jyron Waiters 5'11" | 180 lbs | WR Wilson | 2024 State SC Wilson – The Tigers throw it all over the place, and Wilson led the team in receptions and accounted for 700 yards and 11 TDs as a junior. He’ll have an even bigger role for Wilson this year.
Christian Zachary Christian Zachary 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR Calhoun County | 2024 State SC Calhoun County – At 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, Zachary has the length and speed to be a playmaker both offensively and defensively. He had a 1,000-yard season last year, and has collected a bunch of offers.
RUNNING BACKS
Traevon Dunbar Traevon Dunbar 5'10" | 205 lbs | RB Midland Valley | 2024 State SC Midland Valley – Dunbar has bounced back from a knee injury, is now just over 200 pounds, and runs in the 4.5 range. Yikes. A big, physical, fast runner, he’s a lot closer to the back he was before the injury – and maybe even better.
Jevon Edwards Jevon Edwards 5'9" | 195 lbs | RB South Aiken | 2025 State SC South Aiken – Edwards has the benefit of playing right beside one of the state’s best dual-threat QBs (more on him in just a minute), and he’s sometimes overlooked. That’s a mistake. Edwards has almost 2,800 career yards heading into his junior season, and a 6,000-yrad career isn’t out of the question.
Carmello McDaniel Carmello McDaniel 5'8" | 175 lbs | RB Hartsville | 2024 State SC Hartsville – With the Foxes back to their usual offensive power on the ground, McDaniel is an interesting case. He rushed for 1,400 yards as a sophomore, and followed that up with 1,800 yards a a junior. What does his senior season have in store for an encore? It’s scary to think about.
Jaylen McGill Jaylen McGill 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB Broome | 2026 State SC Broome – McGill exploded onto the scene as a freshman last season, racking up yards and Division I attention quickly. He’s a year faster, a year stronger, and the No. 1-ranked player in the Class of 2026 might be even better.
Dashun Reeder Dashun Reeder 5'10" | 175 lbs | RB Christ Church | 2024 State SC Christ Church – Reeder had video game numbers last season, with more than 2,100 yards, a 9.2 yards per carry average, and 42 TDs. The Cavaliers return a ton of talent around him, and the sky’s the limit for Reeder this season.
Turbo Richard Turbo Richard 5'10" | 205 lbs | RB Northwestern | 2024 State SC Northwestern – Richard’s a violent runner who finishes plays, and who rushed for nearly 2,100 yards and 24 TDs last season. And honestly, is there a cooler name for a running back than Turbo?
Trey Thompson Trey Thompson 5'10" | 195 lbs | RB Andrew Jackson | 2024 State SC Andrew Jackson – It takes something special to put together a 2,500-yard rushing season. Thompson is plenty special. Patient, physical, strong, and fast, he’s capable of running over your as well as running away from you.
Jamarcus Williams Jamarcus Williams 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Hannah-Pamplico | 2025 State SC Hannah-Pamplico – One of just 11 guys statewide who rushed for more than 2,000 yards a year ago, Williams shines at yards after contact. He’s just a junior, and is on a very short list of guys who can put up insane numbers.
QUARTERBACKS
Javion Martin Javion Martin 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Crestwood | 2024 State SC Crestwood – A two-time Region VI-3A Offensive Player of the Year, Martin is a true dual-threat guy. He threw for 2,845 yards and 34 TDs a year ago, rushing for nearly 500 yards and seven more scores.
Finley Polk Finley Polk 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Northwestern | 2025 State SC Northwestern – Polk started 2022 as an under-the-radar sophomore. One year later, he’s got a 3,300-yard, 37-TD season under his belt and he’s bigger, faster, and stronger. Everybody knows him now.
Terrence Smith Terrence Smith 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB South Aiken | 2024 State SC South Aiken – Eighty yards. That’s all that separated Terrence Smith Terrence Smith 6'0" | 175 lbs | QB South Aiken | 2024 State SC from being a 1,000/2,000 guy a year ago. He threw for 920 and five scores, and he absolutely set Region IV-4A on fire with his legs, rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 28 scores. He’s got legit 4.3 speed, and he’s a legit problem for defenses.
Cutter Woods Cutter Woods 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB Westside | 2025 State SC Westside – A room full of top-flight receivers and an even more pass-happy offense under new head coach Brian Lane is what awaits Woods’ junior season. That’s on the heels of a sophomore campaign that saw him throw for more than 3,000 yards and 28 TDs. He’s poised, he’s athletic, and there’s not a throw he can’t make.
