2025 Rankings: Triple Digit Guys Capable Of Breakout Years

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top of the 2025 rankings class is loaded, with a bunch of guys who are already household names. The middle's solid too, with proven contributors. But what about the bottom? What about those guys ranked at No. 100 or below? What do we see that makes them so intriguing?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plenty, actually. There are a bunch of guys in that portion of the list who can light it up. Here's a look at 10 who we think will see a surge based on talent, circumstances, or a combination of the two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We can start those we expect to move from their current triple-digit position right at No. 100. Westside's [player_tooltip player_id='1157819' first='Sharode' last='Richardson'] is a weapon. Last year, though, he was on a team loaded with them. This year, the Rams will again have talent everywhere, but Richardson should solidify his hold in the backfield. He's a quick, shifty guy who has the ability to make defenders miss as well as enough of a physical streak to run through them. He led the team with more than 1,100 yards, and that came from splitting carries with a senior who ALSO topped 1,000 yards. This year, Richardson will likely get a heavier load.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another RB who looks poised to make a big jump is Midland Valley's [player_tooltip player_id='272712' first='Preston' last='McNair']. All McNair did last year was rush for 1,170 yards and 16 touchdowns - and that was behind the guy who led the state in rushing and ate up an astronomical 242 carries. This year, the Mustangs' sledgehammer of an offense will likely run right through McNair, who has the talent to put up some absolutely huge numbers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are quite a few guys up front on offense capable of making a huge jump as well. Dorman's [player_tooltip player_id='809750' first='Landon' last='Greene'] is a year older, a year stronger, and will be the leader of the Cavaliers' OL. He's got a new offensive coordinator in former Wofford great Dane Romero, likely a brand-new offensive look, and tremendous size at 6-2, 330 pounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At Irmo, the Yellow Jackets put up more than 6,000 yards of offense and scored a ton of points last season. The offensive line, including [player_tooltip player_id='1157979' first='Ryan' last='Love'], paved the way for that. Love is physical and quick, and seems to love finishing blocks way downfield, particularly for a center. He does a great job when he pulls, effectively clearing the running lane, and gets to the second level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daniel's [player_tooltip player_id='1157945' first='Spencer' last='Conn'] had a monster season for the 3A state champions, and he's back as the leader of the Lions' defense. Triple-digit tackles, a bunch of pressures, and a season as an absolute stat-stuffer means the future's bright for Conn. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fellow LB [player_tooltip player_id='1157897' first='Cameron' last='Coe'] at South Florence has what looks to be a similar trajectory. Coe missed four games due to injury last season, but still managed to put up 30 tackles, make five tackles for loss, and score a pair of defensive TDs for the Bruins. Coe has incredible instincts, makes great decisions in real time, and always seems to be in proper position to make a play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are a pair of guys ranked at ATH who are intriguing and more than worth keeping an eye on in 2025. [player_tooltip player_id='1013042' first='Kentrell' last='Brown'] at Wagener-Salley is a matchup nightmare. He flies to the ball and is a sure tackler on defense, and last year he took on a much bigger role in the offense, serving as a do-everything guy who put up big numbers for the War Eagles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At Ninety Six, ATH [player_tooltip player_id='1013113' first='Zayvion' last='King'] is a monster. He rushed for 1,200 yards last year for the Wildcats, and this year, there's a move in store that will shift King to ILB on defense. Any time he's around the ball, good things happen for Ninety Six, which had one of the biggest turnaround seasons in the state last season with King as one of the focal points on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>North Myrtle Beach has a bit of a unicorn in Brown Reaves. Reaves is a true TE, and one of just five ranked in the 2025 class. He's 6-4 and 230, capable of stretching the field, and a good blocker. Reaves had 25 catches for 322 yards and four TDs a year ago, and the All-Region selection could see an even bigger role in the Chiefs' offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finally, Wren QB [player_tooltip player_id='1158040' first='Colten' last='Bagwell'] had a quiet but efficient season for the Hurricanes throwing for more than 1,500 yards and 14 TDs, leading Wren to a bounce-back season and a berth in the second round of the playoffs. He also rushed for 1,166 yards and 14 more scores, giving the Hurricanes a true dual-threat. With Wren's leading rusher and a trio of experienced receivers coming back, Bagwell could be on the cusp of a breakout season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
