CCC: Spartanburg 2028 Offensive Standouts

SPARTANBURG | The action didn't end Sunday afternoon when the 2027s left the field at Viking Stadium.   Far from it.   The rising seniors had their fun across the first two sessions of the final Carolinas Coaches Combine stop at Spartanburg, but once they exited it was time for those on hand to take a look a little further into the future.   Like in the previous sessions, talent was on display everywhere anyone looked. If the quarterbacks stood out above the rest in Session II, Session III was all about the linemen.   Power, size, speed and agility were all on display during the combine and individual drill portions, giving way to man-to-man confrontations of the highest order during one-on-ones.   And that leads us to the focus of this story, which is the Class of 2028 offensive standouts who snagged our attention. It's a linemen-heavy group of honorees, headlined by award winner [player_tooltip player_id='892137' first='Kiyan' last='Jones'] of York after he stood out among a crowded class of talented people-movers.   "I feel good. Me and my O-line coach, we work every day. It was fun," said Jones (pictured). "I came out here and competed with a bunch of good guys out here, and I just had a ball."   Here's a closer look at a big group of players on the offensive side of the ball that took full advantage of the opportunity presented at the combine.   [player_tooltip player_id='1823793' first='Trip' last='Bryant'] QB, Greenville   Bryant stood out among a crowded group at quarterback to earn best offensive skill player honors, posting the eye-catching combine measurables and backing those up in competitive drills.   [player_tooltip player_id='1821178' first='Thomas' last='Bull'] OL, J.L. Mann   Bull did his best work of the day standing in strong at left tackle during one-on-ones, and the 236-pounder still has room to add on to his 6-foot-3 frame.   [player_tooltip player_id='1822754' first='Desiray' last='Christian'] WR, Emerald   The 6-foot, 196-pounder tied for the best 40-yard dash time of the session, with more than enough power to match. His 32 reps on the bench press were 15 more than any other skill position player from the 2028/29 group.   [player_tooltip player_id='1672857' first='Blake' last='Cochran'] RB, Chesnee   Cochran equaled Christian with a 40-yard dash time of 4.55 seconds with some good size (5-foot-10, 184 pounds) for an underclassman running back.   [player_tooltip player_id='1818427' first='Jayden' last='Cunningham'] OL, Greenwood   Right guard, left guard, it didn't matter where Cunningham was lined up on the field during one-on-one competition. If he was there, he wasn't getting beat.   [player_tooltip player_id='1467816' first='Kingston' last='Green'] RB, Whitmire   Green showed the vision and patience necessary to be successful in Whitmire's run-heavy offense. He tracked the ball well in the air during passing drills, which could be deadly when the Wolverines catch a defense creeping up and dial up the deep lob.   [player_tooltip player_id='1791085' first='Jack' last='Hughes'] WR, Wren   Hughes is looking to make a big impact for the Hurricanes this season, and he proved Sunday that he may make it difficult for defensive backs to stay in front of him. He posted the session's best time in the pro shuttle, showing he can change directions in a hurry.   [player_tooltip player_id='1615038' first='Emerson' last='James'] WR, Byrnes   James was one of the more reliable targets during both individual drills and one-on-ones, showing an ability to get open and secure the catch whether closely covered or not.   [player_tooltip player_id='1793500' first='Derrius' last='Littlejohn'] OL, Gaffney   Littlejohn, who checked in at just under 5-foot-9 and 261 pounds, impressed with his ability to repeatedly win reps against larger defensive linemen during one-on-ones.   [player_tooltip player_id='1151291' first='Brody' last='Lorenzo'] OL, Dutch Fork   It was no surprise to see the state's top overall 2028 depart Viking Stadium with some hardware. His 35 reps on the 185-pound bench press stood up as the best of the session.   [player_tooltip player_id='2075873' first='Harper' last='Love'] QB, Fort Mill   Love threw a good ball and also showed plenty of pure athleticism, nailing both the straight-line speed of the 40-yard dash and the fast twitch of the pro shuttle.   [player_tooltip player_id='1818071' first='Imon' last='Mitchell'] RB, York   Mitchell showed the field speed and elusiveness necessary for a 135-pound running back, and he also displayed strength beyond his size.   Jamerion Moore RB, Ninety Six   Checking in at just under 6-feet tall, the 187-pounder posted some of the best measurables across the board in his position group, then also earned high marks in individual drills and one-on-ones. Needless to say, he was a deserving choice as the session's top offensive combo player.   [player_tooltip player_id='2173701' first='Henry' last='(Hank) Olds'] OL, Chapin   Olds looked to be right in his element performing reps at left guard during one-on-one competition. He kept interior rushers from getting into the backfield, which was no small feat during this session.   [player_tooltip player_id='1672912' first='Chase' last='Richards'] WR, Mountain View Prep   Maybe the only thing that stood out more than his crisp route-running were the sure hands of Richards, who caught everything that was even remotely within reach. The hybrid tight   [player_tooltip player_id='1581471' first='Isaiah' last='Robinson'] WR, Byrnes   Robinson showed off some blazing speed, clocking in at 21.8 miles per hour to hit the top speed of anyone in this session. The scary thing is that it may not have been him at his best, as he looked to have some tightness in his legs after his reps.   [player_tooltip player_id='1824948' first='Riggs' last='Savage'] TE/H, Powdersville   Savage has the size at nearly 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, and he also flashed some speed, power and explosiveness to go with it.   [player_tooltip player_id='1818241' first='Marquiel' last='Troupe'] WR, Blue Ridge   Troupe displayed some of the best explosive athleticism of anyone who took the field Sunday, posting session-best numbers in the vertical leap and broad jump.
