Player Rankings Historical Best: No. 3 Summerville

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's not a surprise to see one of the state's all-time powerhouses here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Green Wave have been a force in South Carolina high school football for decades. No wonder, then, that they've had a ton of players - 31 in all - ranked since the 2020 football season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summerville has never had fewer than three players ranked in a complete season, and they've had guys at every position except punter (They did have two kickers, <strong>Brayden Gregory</strong> (No. 198 in 2021) and <strong>Gage Lewis</strong> (No. 171 in 2022).) Here's a look at some of the guys who helped put Summerville near the top of the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LOADED AT LB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Green Wave have had six LBs in the rankings, including multiple players at the position in the same years. <strong>Desmon Southers</strong> (No. 151) and <strong>Nick Chambers</strong> (219) were both ranked in the 2021 class, with <strong>Steve Simpkins</strong> following at No. 101 in 2023. <strong>Jaidyn Penix</strong> and <strong>Kayden Gaddist</strong> were ranked No. 71 and No. 110 respectively in 2004, and combined to help lead a defense that gave up just 20 points on average. The current ranked Summerville LB is [player_tooltip player_id='1267285' first='JT' last='Williams'], the No. 130 player in the 2026 class. He's a quick, physical player who closes on the ball well and who's excellent in coverage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16856354/629ec49c6898840840eaf0ec' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667e01980ff74"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>STRONG UP FRONT</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The bulk of the Green Wave's ranked players have come from, well, the bulk. Four offensive linemen and four defensive linemen have filled the list for Summerville. <strong>Jackson Campeau</strong> (No, 229 in 2021), <strong>Drew Inabinet</strong> and <strong>Reginald Pinckney </strong>(No. 82 and No. 231 in 2023) and <strong>D'Arcii Smith</strong> (No. 322 in 2024) were all ranked on the OL, with <strong>Carnell Jones</strong> (No. 136 in 2022), <strong>Josh Matusik</strong> (No. 134 in 2023) and <strong>Julius Brown</strong> and <strong>Jaderio Lott</strong> (No. 168 and No. 222 in 2024) their counterparts on the DL. The Green Wave have another guy up front in the 2025 rankings, with TE [player_tooltip player_id='1249768' first='Keshon' last='Washington'] raked No. 98 in the class. Washington is a legit receiving target for the Green Wave, with nearly 300 receiving yards last season, and Summerville uses him in a bunch of ways, from lining up at H-back and shifting into the slot to true TE play, where he's also an adept blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17687397/656d1d0ada514908303af62a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667e01980ffab"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>GOING FORWARD</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In addition to Williams and Washington, the Green Wave have a wealth of talent currently on the roster. QB [player_tooltip player_id='367350' first='Jaden' last='Cummings'] is the No. 24 ranked player in the 2025 Class. He's joined by RB [player_tooltip player_id='272723' first='Ashton' last='Allen-Hawkins'] (No. 224) and [player_tooltip player_id='1253992' first='Rhyan' last='White'] (No. 235). And in the 2027 Class, ATH [player_tooltip player_id='378969' first='Jaiden' last='Kelly-Murray'] holds the No. 1 ranking. He shines on the defensive side of the ball, but he's likely to be a factor on offense as well, and he's a more than solid kick returner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19694838/651c224319a59c0328ec2449' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667e01980ffc8"} /-->
