<p>With 38 new additions to the Prep RedZone Class of 2029 rankings, you already know the next crop of players is here.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Those who primary play on the offensive side of the ball account for 24 of those 38. The list includes some potential budding stars, of course, but also several others who have already cut their teeth at the varsity level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Every positional group is represented, some more than others. To think all of these players are preparing to wrap up their first calendar year of high school tells us they're more than ready. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Let's introduce you to the next 24 additions to the Spring Rankings Cycle.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1907293' first='Darrell' last='Epps']</strong> RB, Crestwood - Tailback has two returners ahead of him, but he's going to see plenty of time in multiple offensive roles</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1612450' first='Landon' last='Robinson']</strong> QB, Lake Wylie - Presumed starter at the start-up should be able to make a name for himself quickly after moving over from nearby Clover</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1592935' first='Scott' last='Young']</strong> WR, Fairfield Central - All that time going up against the Griffins' defensive backs is only making him a better route runner</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1818632' first='Alston' last='Singletary']</strong> QB, Darlington - Been on tap to replace a three-year starter for nearly a year, and his chance to shine is officially here</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1715570' first='JP' last='Branyon']</strong> TE, Landrum - True H-Back gives Landrum someone who can run and catch the ball; he also plays a good bit of linebacker</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1817887' first='La'Jaivion' last='Samuel']</strong> WR/DB, Beaufort - Battery Creek transfer is still raw but is already establishing himself for the Eagels</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1824460' first='Kenzae' last='Griffin']</strong> RB, Blacksburg - Won't have to take on the entire load this fall, but will take pressure off Wildcats' all-stater in the backfield</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1817112' first='Isaiah' last='Littlejohn']</strong> OL, Lugoff-Elgin - Yet another coach's son going to be a mainstay on an offensive line over the next few seasons</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1825139' first='Charlie' last='McLauchlin'] </strong>TE, Gilbert - Gives the Indians another pass-catching tight end with the reach to also navigate the blocking assignments </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1816315' first='Ty'vai' last='Deas']</strong> ATH, Stratford - Converted quarterback may eventually drift back behind center, but he's using his speed at receiver for the time being</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2205147' first='Caleb' last='Mims']</strong> OL, South Aiken - Started as a freshman for an offense that is about to get even more dynamic around him</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1825543' first='Jeremiah' last='Lewis']</strong> OL, CA Johnson - Freakish size like this doesn't come around often; neither does Lewis' ability to use it and make his assignments look easy</p>
