Chris Foster Chris Foster 6'0" | 205 lbs | DL Byrnes | 2024 State SC , DL, Byrnes – Foster plays much bigger than his size up front. He does a good job of holding his ground and taking on blockers against the run, and gets a big upfield push in the pass rush.
Ka’Mari Hair Ka’Mari Hair 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Summerville | 2024 SC , WR, Summerville – Hair is a prototypical inside/slot guy. He eats up yards after the catch in the middle of the field, both on short passes and downfield shots. He’s also effective on pop passes at the line of scrimmage and is a solid blocker.
Harrison Jeffries Harrison Jeffries 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Powdersville | 2024 State SC , LB, Powdersville – Jeffries provides a fantastic complement to Class of 2023 No. 1 player Jalen Rambert Jalen Rambert 6'1" | 240 lbs | LB Powdersville | 2023 State SC . Playing beside Rambert, Jeffries racked up 91 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, five hurries and six break-ups as the Patriots had their best season in program history.
Kalil Johnson Kalil Johnson 5'7" | 160 lbs | RB Carolina Forest | 2024 State SC , RB, Carolina Forest – Johnson is a shifty back who does a good job of finding his way through the line of scrimmage and getting up to speed quickly. And that speed is a killer. If he gets to the second level, you’re in trouble.
Braydn Kesselring Braydn Kesselring 6'3" | 280 lbs | OL Midland Valley | 2024 State SC , OL, Midland Valley – Even though he’s just coming out of his sophomore season, Kesselring is already a road-grader. He’s a strong straight-ahead blocker and loves to get to the second level and clear things out downfield, but he’s at his best when he’s pulling.
Jaderrio Lott Jaderrio Lott 6'2" | 300 lbs | OL Summerville | 2024 State SC , OL, Summerville – Lott is already an enormous presence for the Green Wave at over 300 pounds. He’s quick and shows good footwork, and wreaks havoc on the edge when he’s pulling.
Luke New Luke New 5'10" | 160 lbs | ATH Pelion | 2024 State SC , DB, Pelion – New’s on the list because of his hard-hitting skills at free safety. But he does a lot of things for the Panthers, including playing receiver and handling some kicking duties.
Andre McFadden-Pressley Andre McFadden-Pressley 6'0" | 305 lbs | DL Lake City | 2024 State SC , DL, Lake City – McFadden provides a physical presence up front for Lake City. He’s tough to block one-on-one, and looks equally strong against the run as he is rushing the passer.
D’Arcii Smith D’Arcii Smith 6'5" | 295 lbs | OL Summerville | 2024 State SC , OL, Summerville – With the 295-pound Smith playing on the same line as the 300-pound Lott, the Green Wave have a chance for something special on the offensive line. Like Lott, Smith is big, physical, and fast.
Ben Thompson Ben Thompson 5'10" | 195 lbs | LB Green Sea Floyds | 2024 State SC , LB, Green Sea Floyds – Thompson is already productive, with 65 individual tackles and 76 total stops. But he has all the tools to get even better. Thompson is a great form tackler, and hasn’t been asked to play both ways very much, a rarity for Class A players.
Michael Woodfield Michael Woodfield 6'2" | 160 lbs | DB Summerville | 2024 State SC , DB, Summerville – Woodfield does a lot of things really well for the Green Wave. He can cover, supports the run, is a physical tackler, and is disruptive when the ball is in the air.
