CCC: Session III Offensive Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>DORCHESTER | </strong>Sunday's Carolinas Coaches Combine didn't just include the Class of 2027, but we had the Class of 2028 and 2029 on hand and they did not disappoint. They took part in the combine and individual skills and drills. We wanted to spotlight the running backs and offensive line first as they showcased their speed and power throughout the late afternoon session on the campus of Woodland High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's dive into our notes from the session:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112754' first='Kameron' last='Howell']</strong> from host school Woodland showed good lateral movement and did a good job of keeping the ball secure while changing direction. Howell made someone miss after making the catch during the competition period. East Clarendon's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2106756' first='Skyler' last='Cornelius'] </strong>also kept the ball high and tight. Philip Simmons's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1824762' first='Cameron' last='Marcelo'] </strong>did a good job of planting his foot while keeping the ball secure.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Latta's <strong>Irangaiye Johnson </strong>made a good catch with speed out of the backfield on an angle route against the linebackers. Crestwood's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1907293' first='Darrell' last='Epps'] </strong>(pictured above)made a great catch, plucking the ball out of the air. Epps ran a 4.6 in the 40-yard dash during the combine.
