<p>Awards Season is no longer complete without Prep RedZone South Carolina's annual Fab 50 squad.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Our goal is simple: We want to put together the most complete and potentially dominant all-star roster imaginable. And we'd pit this proverbial squad against any other around. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Fab 50 the best of the best – and not simply in terms of name recognition. Prep RedZone scouts Jed Blackwell, Chris Dearing, Thomas Grant, Ian Guerin, Scott Keeler, Brandon Stockdale and Andrew Wright spent the 2024 season covering games in every pocket of the state. They simultaneously analyzed film and spent the past seven weeks compiling this year's version of our all-state team. </p>

<p>From kicker to quarterback, offensive linemen to defensive back, we included players at every position necessary to field an actual team. What started with the nearly 10,000 high school varsity football players in the Palmetto State has been cut to the top 50. That's it. Just 50.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>No stone was left unturned to get to that ultra-selective number.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The scouts analyzed production, competition level, fulfillment of expectations and the all-important eye test. Yes, they've seen them all live, most of them multiple times. When that wasn't enough, the scouts crushed plenty of film. Then, we debated. </p>

<p>The second half of this year's Fab 50 is all about those we feel wield the most influence on offense.</p>
