Newberry Prospect Camp Offensive Standouts

NEWBERRY | Thursday's prospect camp at Newberry College brought more than 270 high school football players to Setzler Field, requiring the use of two additional fields and an army of coaches and Wolves players to keep everything running smoothly.   Like a duck on a pond, though, all of that frantic paddling was taking place underneath the surface, meaning all of the focus could rightfully be on the action taking place on the field.   We've already taken a look at the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/07/newberry-prospect-camp-defensive-standouts/" id="https://prepredzone.com/2026/07/newberry-prospect-camp-defensive-standouts/">top performers on the defensive side of the ball</a>, but now that they've had their moment in the spotlight the guys on offense are back to issue the reminder that they've got something to say.   Which side had the better showing? That depends entirely on which huddle you ask, but let the record show that the offensive line crushed the defensive line during 1-on-1s - and, needless to say, there are plenty of guys from the OL on this list.   [player_tooltip player_id='1823748' first='Issac' last='Arnold'] 2028 WR, Pickens   Arnold did what every quarterback wants from a wide receiver by putting himself in great position to make the catch on every snap. What impressed us most, though, was the way he still hauled in the wayward throws.   [player_tooltip player_id='1824012' first='Asher' last='Beck'] 2027 WR, Nation Ford (pictured)   Effortless in the 40-yard dash and relentless in the pro shuttle, Beck showed plenty of tools that he carried straight into 1-on-1s, getting open with relative ease and showing the ability to leave would-be tacklers diving at air.   Khalil Chestnut 2028 OL, Dorman   Chestnut was one of the big winners during the OL vs. DL drills, standing his ground at right tackle and bringing home a big point during the round when both lines sent up their best five.   [player_tooltip player_id='1909406' first='Avery' last='Coyle'] 2027 QB, Saluda   No one who saw Coyle last year at Lexington or this spring at the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2026/04/ccc-spartanburg-2027-session-ii-offensive-standouts/">Carolinas Coaches Combine stop in Spartanburg</a> should be surprised to read it, but it bears repeating that there's some heat on that toast when Coyle throws the football. He put it exactly where it needed to be, and it didn't take long to get there.   [player_tooltip player_id='1819707' first='Christopher' last='Dean'] 2027 RB, Emerald   Dean stars at running back at Emerald, which already tells you that there's plenty of power and toughness in that 5-foot-6 frame. Camp settings like this are a great time for him to remind everyone that, yes, he can also turn on the jets if given even an inch of daylight.   Jaxon Greene 2027 QB, South Columbus (North Carolina)   Greene was all business from the time he stepped onto the turf at Setzler Field, showcasing his footwork, ability to throw on the run and his touch on the deep ball. It was clear from watching him that he's a quarterback who simply isn't going to get his team into trouble.   [player_tooltip player_id='2070776' first='Tarez' last='James'] 2027 WR, Swansea   James is the kind of receiver with the straight-line speed that would make it easy to just use him as a sneaky home-run threat, particularly for an offense that loves the power run. But he shows the footwork, vision and patience that make him so much more dangerous than that.   [player_tooltip player_id='1822284' first='Walker' last='Kirby'] 2027 OL, East Clarendon   At 6-foot-5, Kirby passes the getting-off-the-bust test and looks very much like the multi-year anchor of East Clarendon's offensive line. He impressed with his footwork and has the power to fend off edge rushers, and he has the competitive fire that led him to sign up for back-to-back days of camps at Newberry.   [player_tooltip player_id='1664640' first='Paul' last='Livingston'] 2027 WR, Socastee   If you're looking for a receiver to make one catch with a game, season or championship on the line, Livingston has to be on your short list of choices. He staked his claim of having the best hands of anyone on the field at Newberry, repeatedly - and securely - bringing in reception after reception.   [player_tooltip player_id='1824036' first='Franklin' last='Lykes'] 2027 OL, Brookland-Cayce   As is the case more often than not in these settings, the most spirited 1-on-1 competition happened when the offensive and defensive linemen locked horns. Lykes didn't back down from the challenge, fighting his way through reps at both center and guard, including a coveted win when the top five from both lines butted heads.   [player_tooltip player_id='1840715' first='Tarrant' last='McKenzie'] 2027 WR, Aiken   Smooth and secure no matter the route, McKenzie won the rep whether the call was short or long, inside or outside. The only thing keeping him from a highlight-reel kind of afternoon were a couple of overthrows several yards beyond his reach when he had a clear path to the end zone.   Crayton McKnight 2027 OL, Hartsville   A powerhouse at center and a fiery competitor, the 6-foot-1, 310-pounder was immovable during 1-on-1s. He'd smother the opposing defensive lineman, ask for more, doing it again and remind everyone that, yes, he came to play. The standout of the group, without a doubt.   [player_tooltip player_id='1818292' first='Seth' last='Seprish'] 2027 OL, Summerville   The 5-foot-10, 271-pounder showed a keen understanding of the leverage battle during 1-on-1s, and he looked particularly strong in his reps at right guard. There was no shortage of firepower in the defensive line group, and Seprish more than held his own.   [player_tooltip player_id='1816128' first='Raymeire' last='Simmons'] 2027 WR, Summerville   We're still trying to figure out what we liked more from Simmons during 1-on-1s. We have it narrowed down to his crisp, sharp route-running that he used to beat whichever defensive back stood in front of him, or his ability to seamlessly turn upfield after making the catch. We'll call it a tie.   [player_tooltip player_id='1615063' first='Preston' last='Smith'] 2028 RB, Midland Valley   This isn't the ideal setting for Smith to show off a lot of the traits that have made him such an impact player so quickly as a running back at Midland Valley. But it does offer an opportunity to display other skills that aren't as well-known yet. In his case, it's that he's an underrated weapon coming out of the backfield as a receiver.   [player_tooltip player_id='2238751' first='Fred' last='Turner'] 2027 OL, Hartsville   It didn't matter what kind of defensive lineman was across from him. Bigger, more powerful ones or smaller, faster ones, Turner stonewalled them all. That was best on display during his last rep, which he won at left tackle against a wide rush when it was the best five vs. the best five.   Sidnee Westbrook Jr. 2027 ATH, Ardrey Kell (North Carolina)   Listed as a DB on the official registration roster, at wide receiver is where Westbrook turned heads. He was flat-out dominant in 1-on-1s, regardless of whether he issued the challenge to the defensive back or vice versa. He showed off the versatility and athleticism to make him a dangerous playmaker regardless of where he lines up on the field.
