CCC: These GSPD Underclassmen Could Open Eyes at Woodland

After the first two sessions of the Carolinas Coaches Combines at Woodland on March 29, some of the best underclassmen in the state will get their chance to show just how good of hands the state is in for the next two or three seasons.   Go ahead and get your popcorn ready.   The 2028s and 2029s who have been invited includes a large number of yet-unranked players on the brink of putting a number next to their name in loud fashion. And when it comes to the Grand Strand & Pee Dee, it's not hard to see which players about to see their in-house roles explode could use the combine to expedite the attention they deserved.    Their individual circumstances to the point could all seem like a drop in the bucket very, very soon.   Editor's Note: Due to a conflict with the original site, the Carolinas Coaches Combines have moved their Lower State location to Woodland High School. It will still take place on Sunday, March 29.   Javon Besselieu DL, Andrews   The Yellow Jackets have had a steady diet of defensive linemen come through in recent years, and Besselieu is evidence that Andrews' trenches are in good hands for the next three seasons. At 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, he's got some of the length that has served Andrews well on the edge. As a freshman, he had 46 tackles, seven tackles or loss and four sacks.    [player_tooltip player_id='1615100' first='Makhi' last='Shaw'] DB, Myrtle Beach   Shaw went from starting as a run-first quarterback as a freshman at Kingstree - when he was playing alongside a 1,700-yard tailback - to transferring to Myrtle Beach and using his sophomore year to acclimate to his new digs. He took some pre-game reps at quarterback but was simultaneously getting on the field more and more at corner. He's a quick thinker and may raise some interest with his footwork.    [player_tooltip player_id='1824195' first='Kameryn' last='Davis'] LB, Marion   Davis will be competing at Woodland primarily as a linebacker, and he's got the added bonus of playing a lot of tailback, too. In either capacity, he's got a grit to him that we love. Davis won't be able to bring his hard-hitting ability to the combine necessarily, but his motor is there and could quickly put himself on a short list of Woodland standouts.     [player_tooltip player_id='1817711' first='Nico' last='Miller'] K/P, North Myrtle Beach   Miller is a true triple threat as a specialist, handling kickoffs, field goals/PATs and punts for the Chiefs. As a sophomore, he was a perfect seven-of-seven on his field goals (all within 41 yards)  and 20-of-20 on his PATs. He also averaged 34 yards on his 31 punts and had touchbacks on 10 of his 44 kickoffs. Think someone like that could do well with some rhythm? Yeah, we do, too.    Mike Johnson QB, Georgetown   The rising junior lost nearly all of his sophomore season to a broken leg in early September, and it turned the Bulldogs into a super run-heavy team while Johnson's tight end stepped in at quarterback. Within two months, though, Johnson was back in the weight room post-recovery, spent the winter on the basketball court and is now in his familiar spot with the Georgetown baseball squad. He's a name to watch with how strong his arm is, set back or not.   [player_tooltip player_id='1824725' first='Meltrin' last='Segars'] WR, Kingstree    Segars is a true diamond in the rough, both in the terms of the fact that he's playing for a program that doesn't traditionally throw a ton, but also in that he didn't get a ton of time to shine last fall. He missed some time with an injury, but a monster performance against Timberland gives the Blazers a ton of enthusiasm for what he will be able to as a junior.    Nol Dixon OL, Carolina Forest (pictured)   Dixon was mainly a reserve last fall, but now the 6-foot-2, 285-pound lineman is about to get plenty of attention in the Panthers' normally stout rushing attack. While he's got the size to handle tackle (where he's been slated in the past), he was also a state qualifier runner-up in the 285-pound category of the individual wrestling meet this winter, so he's fine in close quarters, too. He's flexible and mobile enough to move around, but he's in the right spot for advancing rather quickly.   [player_tooltip player_id='1817694' first='Jamarion' last='Campbell'] WR, Dillon   With a significant shakeup along the Dillon offense appearing imminent, Campbell's WR2 status from last fall is about to get a nice elevation. He's not going at what looks to be a newfound target increase empty handed. He was second on the team last fall in receptions (22), yards (333) and touchdowns (three), and he showed off some game-breaking capabilities in small doses.    [player_tooltip player_id='1821587' first='Solomon' last='Freshley'] TE/DL, Atlantic Collegiate   The Freshley name is well known in the Conway area, as Solomon's other brothers both stood out for the Tigers. The younger one is at ACA, and he's quickly becoming a name to watch after catching 14 passes for 215 yards and four touchdowns and recording 46 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and an interception as a sophomore last fall.
