Give us the first half of the offseason, and we’re going to track down everything we missed from the last rankings update. Case in point, we’ve added 19 new 2027s to our rankings for that class.
Without games.
The evaluation process never stops, and neither do the players we’ve deemed to have a number next to their name. Their continued work this offseason has paid dividends in conjunction with their respective freshmen seasons.
Let’s introduce you to the newest names in our system.
Beckham Diimmler Beckham Diimmler 6'3" | 165 lbs | WR Chapin | 2027 State SC WR, Chapin – At a verified 6-foot-3 at such a young age, Chapin rising senior quarterback Brady Albro Brady Albro 5'10" | 190 lbs | QB Chapin | 2025 State SC has a huge target to help replace five departing pass catchers.
Spencer Bobian Spencer Bobian 5'8" | 165 lbs | RB Ridge View | 2027 State SC RB, Ridge View – It’s probably going to be another year before Bobian isn’t sharing carries. That lack of pressure as a sophomore might just open him up to the next level.
Jackson Buckley Jackson Buckley 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR Byrnes | 2027 State SC WR, Byrnes – Buckley won’t be the only Rebels’ receiver in this list. And believe us when we tell you there will be plenty of passes to be caught regardless.
KJ Burg KJ Burg 5'10" | 185 lbs | LB South Pointe | 2027 State SC LB, South Pointe – Burg already has the size to play at this level, as he proved last yea when he put up 20 tackles in only five varsity games. He might play some tailback, too.
Alex Tchoryk Alex Tchoryk 6'4" | 200 lbs | DL Philip Simmons | 2027 State SC DL, Philip Simmons – While he didn’t play a ton of varsity ball in 2023, his 6-foot-4 frame makes him a dangerous rush end also capable to joining the offense as a tight end.
Judd Windham Judd Windham 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Christ Church | 2027 State SC QB, Christ Church – Windham is sitting behind one of the state’s best quarterbacks. The fact that he was ready in the state championship means he’s ready for anything.
Brayden Everette Brayden Everette 6'1" | 255 lbs | OL Travelers Rest | 2027 State SC OL, Travelers Rest – One of our favorite “finds” of this class, Everette has a guard body but a tackle’s mentality. The combination allows him to play both effectively.
Jessie Brown Jessie Brown 5'7" | 160 lbs | RB Berkeley | 2027 State SC RB, Berkeley – After blowing up the first couple games on the junior varsity level, Brown moved up to the varsity and assumed what is expected to be a stranglehold on the starting gig.
Nick Gordon Nick Gordon 5'8" | 135 lbs | ATH Cheraw | 2027 State SC ATH, Cheraw – Gordon pitches in at linebacker and tailback. He’s like more of a defense-first player for now, but he’s going to get plenty of work on both sides of the ball.
Carson Bryant Carson Bryant 5'11" | 180 lbs | WR Wren | 2027 State SC WR, Wren – The Hurricane’s top three pass catchers last year were all seniors. Bryant was fourth in yards and already has a connection with the rest of the offense.
Major Workman Major Workman 5'9" | 215 lbs | LB JL Mann | 2027 State SC LB, JL Mann – With a name cut out for the linebacker position, Workman has a more-than-capable combination of size, speed and power to excel this fall.
Hayden Crockett Hayden Crockett 6'2" | 285 lbs | OL Hilton Head | 2027 State SC OL, Hilton Head – Crockett is a big part of the youth movement happening at Hilton Head. The 6-foot-2, 285-pounder started all year on the line as a freshman last fall.
Hayden Schwab Hayden Schwab 6'3" | 195 lbs | LB Florence Christian | 2027 State SC LB, Florence Christian – His freshman campaign included 55 tackles, three tackles for loss, four sacks and a pick. He anticipates well and pursues even better.
Gray Kitchings Gray Kitchings 5'11" | 195 lbs | LB Aiken | 2027 State SC LB, Aiken – Kitchings has all the makings of a top-end middle linebacker in the making. A combine performance was icing on the cake for a solid freshman season.
Sam Holliday Sam Holliday 5'10" | 185 lbs | QB Fountain Inn | 2027 State SC QB, Fountain Inn – The 5-foot-10, 185-pound signal caller is the type of player the young program will be able to build around for Year 3 and beyond after he seized his early opportunity.
Jordan Johnson Jordan Johnson 6'2" | 290 lbs | DL Philip Simmons | 2027 State SC DL, Philip Simmons – The Iron Horses were able to ease the 6-foot-2, 290-pounder into action along the line last year. Soon, he may be a two-way starter.
Bubba Alexander Bubba Alexander 5'11" | 195 lbs | LB Hammond | 2027 State SC LB, Hammond (pictured) – Alexander long ago learned that low pad wins. Being able to execute it as a freshman last season at Hammond is why he’s now ranked.
Josh Davis Josh Davis 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR AC Flora | 2027 State SC WR, AC Flora – Without having to be the guy at receiver for the Falcons, Davis has already shown he can make waves. Big, big numbers are there for the taking.
Chanin Harris Chanin Harris 6'0" | 155 lbs | WR Byrnes | 2027 State SC WR, Byrnes – Why did we bump a JV kid up so high in his first appearance in our rankings? Long story short: He’s got wheels that would make some professional players blush.
