Let’s jump into our notes from the final session of the day:
Hammond School QB Andrew Turner Andrew Turner 6'1" | 200 lbs | QB Hammond | 2025 SC had good ball placement on one throw, allowing the running back to make the catch.
Ashley Ridge WR Jaiden Deweese ran a nice comeback route with a defender draped on his back. He ran precise routes like on an out route, which is why he walked away with MVP honors from the day. Deweese and Rock Hill QB Ian Grissom Ian Grissom 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Rock Hill | 2025 State SC made a spectacular connection for a touchdown on the last play of the day. Hillcrest’s Weston Willis Weston Willis 5'10" | 160 lbs | WR Hillcrest | 2025 SC did a nice job turning to catch the comeback.
River Bluff WR Stephen Collier Stephen Collier 6'3" | 210 lbs | WR River Bluff | 2025 State SC has a big frame and can come across the middle and shield himself against defenders who may try to get in and swat the ball away. Strom Thurmond DB Kaleb Simpkins Kaleb Simpkins 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB Strom Thurmond | 2026 State SC made an excellent pass breakup right as it looked like the receiver he was up against was about to make the catch. His closing speed on another play was fun to watch as well.
Palisades (NC) WR Nick Rankin made a good catch on the inside route when it seemed like the corner was about to make the play right over the top of him and swat the ball away. On another play, he ran right underneath the ball to make the catch. Heathwood Hall DB Julian Hughes Julian Hughes 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Heathwood Hall Episcopal School | 2026 SC made an excellent pass breakup and stayed in the wide receiver’s hip pocket through the route.
Clover TE Cameron James Cameron James 6'2" | 205 lbs | TE Clover Highschool | 2026 SC (pictured above) was fun to watch throughout the afternoon. He can go up and high point the ball and go up and get it. He made the consistent catches that you expect to see from someone at his position. He drew rave reviews from the coaches and was nominated as an MVP.
Aynor LB Matthew Kerby Matthew Kerby 5'11" | 175 lbs | LB Aynor | 2025 SC made a nice pass breakup against the running back to force an incompletion.
