Eight More Players to Know from PRZ Combine at Fort Mill

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've already gone over our major standouts on the defensive side of the ball from the Fort Mill Combine event. There was still plenty of talent on the field that we haven't yet discussed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are 10 more players that stood out on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1667977' first='Aidyn' last='Wiggins']</strong> <strong>DB</strong> - Byrnes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wiggins' speed is what sets him apart from others. That speed was on display from the get-go, as he ran a 4.62 time in the 40-yard dash. That speed allowed him to run stride for stride with some of the faster receivers as well as recover on plays when he was beaten off the line. He should have a major impact on a Byrnes team that will look to be much improved from last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='454066' first='Malquan' last='Pimentel'] LB</strong> - Ashley Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Much like Wiggins, Pimentel (pictured above) used his speed as his best trait. As a linebacker, he ran a 4.69 in the 40-yard dash as well as a 4.56 shuttle time, which means he was absolutely fast. With his speed, he's a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and there are not many plays on the field that he can't get to. Opposing teams should run away from his side of the field at all costs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Destery Miller DL</strong> - Seneca</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speed is starting to become a bit of a theme on this list. The defensive lineman from Seneca ran a 4.53 in the shuttle, the best of any defensive lineman in attendance. There's a reason that Miller had 17 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks last season. With increased improvement to his craft, those numbers could very well be replicated or improved upon this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Darrian Simpkins DB</strong> - Walhalla</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simpkins wasn't the fastest or tallest defensive back in attendance, but he was among the grittiest and was eager to learn throughout the day. Watching him go from learning in the coaching sessions to applying it in the individual drills, it is clear that he can apply the information and put it to work. He made several pass breakups and good plays in coverage, strictly because of listening to and learning from the coaching sessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1274260' first='Bryson' last='Bowers'] LB</strong> - West Ashley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bowers still has two years of football left to play, and he is going to continue to get better. He was excellent in pursuit of the football and was able to cover running backs well out of the backfield. Much like Simpkins, Bowers wasn't the most talented at his position, but he was eager to learn, apply what he was learning, and make adjustments on the fly to help himself make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1671663' first='Jax' last='MacAlpine'] DB</strong> - Lewisville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>MacAlpine didn't get a lot of shine for Lewisville last season because of the excellent player that [player_tooltip player_id='1249747' first='Zach' last='Rogers'] was for the Lions. Watching him on Sunday, though, it's clear he will gain much more notoriety this upcoming season. He is a threat to get burned on the deep ball, but his ability to break on intermediate routes is a nice touch. His pursuit of the football is good, and don't be surprised to see him take one or two interceptions back the other way during the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1672728' first='Christopher' last='Holley'] DL</strong> - East Mecklenburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finally, a player from North Carolina has made the list, and for good reason. Holley stands at 6 feet even and 240 pounds, and his size is the best part of his game. He's also quick for a lineman, as he showcased with his shuttle time of 5.13, the second-best of any defensive lineman. He will make most of his noise as a disruptor in the run game, and with the correct scheme and stunts, he could rack up a few sacks as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1662325' first='Dontrell' last='Wilson'] DL</strong> - Camden</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson's massive six-foot-one, 315-pound frame makes him an absolute game-wrecker. When going up against offensive linemen in drills, he made it look like clockwork. His 6.34 40-yard dash time doesn't leave a great impression, but he doesn't really need speed when he can be in the backfield in the blink of an eye. Teams would be smart not to go toward his side of the field when trying to set a tone with the ground game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
