That’s it.
Five months prior to the start of the 2021 football season, we’re ready to hand out some way early preseason awards. Here are the 11 offensive players, regardless of grade or classification, we we think are the best of the best going into Spring Football, the summer 7-on-7s and fall camp.
RIGHT TACKLE
Donovan Edwards Donovan Edwards 6'4" | 285 lbs | OL Camden | 2022 State SC , Camden
Steering opposing linemen to the inside, outside or flat on their back is no problem for this 6-foot-4, 285 pounder. Edwards has a frame that’s ready for the next level.
RIGHT GUARD
Markee Anderson Markee Anderson 6'5" | 280 lbs | OL Dorman | 2023 State SC , Dorman
While he occasionally drifts to the other side of the line, you can tell that Anderson is extremely comfortable here plowing holes for Dorman’s multi-faceted and schemed offense.
CENTER
Jayden Johnson Jayden Johnson 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Goose Creek | 2022 State SC , Goose Creek
For a guy always working the shotgun, his “completion” percentage while being asked to lift and take care of business is perfect. Did we mention he’s 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds?
LEFT GUARD
Kanaan Ligons Kanaan Ligons 6'3" | 285 lbs | OL Ridge Spring-Monetta | 2023 State SC , Ridge Spring-Monetta
Ligons is a hand fighter on the line, but combined with his growth from the beginning of the year to the end shows how good he already is despite some of his raw ability.
LEFT TACKLE
Collin Sadler Collin Sadler 6'5" | 295 lbs | OL Greenville | 2022 State SC , Greenville
The best part of watching one of Clemson’s big-three in-state commitments from the class of 2022 is seeing Sadler pull block some unsuspecting linebacker into oblivion.
TIGHT END
Jaleel Skinner Jaleel Skinner 6'5" | 215 lbs | TE Greer | 2022 SC , Greer
Skinner is a 6-foot-5, 215-pound dynamic tight end who is able to split out when asked. He blocks better than most, but he’s not just chilling on the line.
WIDE RECEIVER
Eli Merck Eli Merck 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR DW Daniel | 2023 State SC , Daniel
This high-flying offense is able to do so many of the things it wants because of Merck. The two-year starter has another two to go before it’s all said and done.
WIDE RECEIVER
Adam Randall Adam Randall 6'3" | 200 lbs | WR Myrtle Beach | 2022 State SC , Myrtle Beach
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Clemson commitment is big, strong, fast and as sure-handed as they come. He may spend all of 2021 under double coverage.
WIDE RECEIVER
Antonio Williams Antonio Williams 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Dutch Fork | 2022 State SC , Dutch Fork
During his junior year, Williams averaged 150 yards and a touchdown each night out. As a result, his offer train list through the roof in the last few months.
RUNNING BACK
CJ Stokes CJ Stokes 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Hammond School | 2022 State SC , Hammond School
With some of the talent around him moving on, Stokes’ already impressive workload is about to make him arguably the most prominent offensive puzzle piece in the entire state.
QUARTERBACK
Raheim Jeter Raheim Jeter 6'3" | 220 lbs | QB Spartanburg | 2023 State SC , Spartanburg
During his sophomore season last fall, the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Jeter proved he could make all the throws, from the out to the seam to the deep. He’s a special talent.
