John Archer John Archer 6'5" | 320 lbs | DL Seventy-First | 2027 State NC is everything you look for in a true Power-4 defensive line prospect — size, strength, explosion, and a level of dominance that jumps off the field from the first snap. He’s been literally unblockable at times this season, overwhelming offensive linemen with violent hands and a powerful lower body that allows him to reset the line of scrimmage on demand. Archer doesn’t just make plays — he destroys plays before they ever develop.

Tonight, under the playoff lights, expect him to show exactly why he’s one of the most coveted recruits in the state. His ability to command double teams, collapse pockets, and blow up run lanes will be the foundation of Scotland County’s defensive game plan. If he’s winning early and often, Terry Sanford’s offense is going to be in for a long night. Archer has the chance to take this game over and prove once again that he’s built for the next level.
