CCC Woodland: 2026s You Need to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hampton County receiver <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1656629' first='Tyler' last='Davis']</strong> wasn't a big name heading into Sunday's Carolinas Coaches Combine at Woodland.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After popping off at 22.53 miles per hour during the event, things might start to change in a hurry.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis was one of just five rising seniors to hit at least 21.7 miles per hour in the Catapult GPS vests that all players on-site were wearing. He was joined by:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jaylen McGraw</strong> LB, Bamberg-Ehrhardt (22.04)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1656653' first='Kenari' last='Koger']</strong> RB, Colleton County (21.79)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='473021' first='Caden' last='Ramsey']</strong> DB/WR, Cross (21.77)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1639684' first='Tyree' last='Patton']</strong> LB, Summerville (21.70)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And while there will be plenty of other impressive numbers stemming from the Catapult data, the eye test was in full effect, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are a number of standouts from Sunday who found a way to rise above the crowd.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1110005' first='Cody' last='Peterson']</strong> OL, Ashley Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peterson was all of us when he stepped on the scale and saw a number he liked. The Swamp Foxes' three-year starter has trimmed down to 302.4, a figure that is more than 40 pounds under his max weight. In turn, he was much more fluid in his combine events, getting off the blocks quicker in the 40 and shuttle and finding much more flexibility on the one-on-one drills. We've been waiting for Peterson to find his path, and we're thinking Sunday was evidence of that coming into frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1592310' first='Quinn' last='Mahoney']</strong> QB, Bishop England</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mahoney didn't waste any time Sunday once someone handed him a football. The Bishop England quarterback was zipping passes both short and long alike and leading receivers right into his throws. The connection with normal teammate Zachary Balog didn't hurt, but Mahoney looked like he had chemistry with everyone.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1639807' first='Michael' last='Bennett']</strong> DL, Cross</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When Cross coach Shaun Wright wants to intimidate opponents, he has Ramsey (listed above) lead the team onto the filed. When he wants to double up, might we suggest having Bennett standing next to him. The 6-foot-1.25, 231-pound defensive end was among the more physically impressive players during the morning session, especially after he started needing to cover the edge. He's got an 83-inch wingspan and after slipping in his first attempt at the pro shuttle turned around to post a 4.89 in his second chance.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1394988' first='Aedan' last='McCarthy']</strong> QB, Bluffton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We already knew McCarthy can sling it, and - trust us - he hasn't lost any velocity from his fastball. But what jumped off for McCarthy was his physical growth. At 6-foot-4.5 and 207 pounds, he let us know just how much bigger he's gotten since this time a year ago. He's taller and stronger, and that's bad new for a guy who already threw for 2,500 yards and 29 touchdowns a year ago.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Saiquan Johnson</strong> WR, Edisto</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 5-foot-10.5 and a shade under 150 pounds, Johnson was relatively quiet Sunday. Until he wasn't. He flashed his 76.5-inch wingspan during the competition period, including somehow catching the ball in the photo above. His vertical came in north of 33 inches, and that bit of a burst came into play, as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='617718' first='Kenshon' last='Speaks']</strong> OL, Beaufort</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The version of Speaks who started at guard during the Eagles' state championship run in 2022 was an indication that he might develop into a special talent. Sunday, then, was further proof that the newest version of Speaks that long since switched to left tackle is a possible recruiting steal. He's got a massive, 83-inch wingspan tacked onto his 6-foot-3.5 frame. He's 295 pounds and showed a ton of explosiveness in the one-on-ones.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Landon Jackson</strong> DL, Berkeley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When we profiled Jackson recently in the Community Film Room, we saw on film exactly how he navigates Class 5A trench issues despite his height disadvantage. On Sunday, we got to see it live. In addition to his pumping out 32 reps on the bench, the 5-foot-6, 229-pound lineman put up a respectable 40 (5.14) and pro shuttle (4.78). There isn't a gap he can't exploit with his low center of gravity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
