Six Package: State Signs to Look down the Road – 247Sports

It was a trend for a long time. South Carolina Sign in state perspectives that may or may not be evaluated at the level of the blue chip. These players are ultimately better than their evaluation over time and affect the program. Some of them find themselves in NFL.

Not that everyone from the state works this way. Recruitment and forecasts, along with trends, are a lost reason if anyone wants to attract 1,000. But there is evidence that the philosophy of the state’s assessment of the Palmto thoroughly and the signing of the lion’s share in approved talents works for Gamecocks.

When the NFL project revolves around this spring, the best two South Carolina players may be both products in the country, which were rated in the huge three-star range as prospects in high school.

Defense TJ Sanders was from Marion and was always considered a great athlete. He played basketball and moved well for his size player. He was a three -star perspective and No. 81 Complete defense fight in class 2021. Gamecocks developed him into a future professional.

There were eight signed in class 2022 ranked before safety Nick Emanveri Irmo. Only two of them – Stone Blanton and Kian Nelson, Jr.“Even a game in South Carolina has begun, and have since come across the transfer portal for Mississippi and Ohiorespectively. Blanton heads to NFL’s draft. The rest? Not much. Only one reserve angle Emori FloydIt’s still with the program. Emanveri followed a slightly different road than Sanders, as it was in the starting lineup as a real freshman.

Recently, the first round receiver Xavier Lengette (Mullins), the angle of the sixth round Marcellas Dial (Woodruff through Georgia Military) and Fifth Circle Corner Darius Rush (Greelyville) Everyone has been prepared after arriving as unharmed state employees.

So, since this is the “traditional” national signing day, it is probably a good idea to look at the 2025 class to see who

It can eventually become one of Carolina’s next state risers. These are players from the state and in the class who probably won’t be in the duel violation or defense this coming season (though you never know), but they are the ones to keep track of in future seasons.

Jaquavious Dodd, De/Edge, Taylors (SC) Eastside
Official size (Gamecocksonline): 6 feet-6, 240 pounds

This one starts, but we probably won’t count that much, because on the 247Sports Composite, it is a solid four-star, the second highest ranked class participant and the general perspective # 210 in America. 247Sports it has it as three tall (89). This said these charts are about what he can happen. He improved every season of high school football and has raw instruments to be very good. It may not just happen to him immediately. The 6-Crak-5, 225-pound DOD has already enrolled so that it has already started its trip, but realistically at this point 2026 or 2027 may be a better target date to appear at the end/ The protective end.

Dodd Kevin’s cousin followed a way to develop Clemson And he found himself in NFL. It has a similar top of Devin Taylor (2008-11), a Beaufort product that had a tall, slender frame and was eventually made by Detroit Lions After starting four years in a defensive end in South Carolina.

Anthony Addison, Edge, Sumter (SC)
Official size: 6 feet-3, 230 pounds

There is no individual who is familiar with Addison as a football player I have communicated with is not extremely impressed with his set of skills as a player. He is fast, difficult, athletic and productive. He just has to get more size and find out exactly where he fits, so this particular season may not happen.

This said that its official height and weight is greater than 6-2, 210, it is listed in its 247Sports profile, so who knows? Addison is already in school, with the program and works.

The bottom line with Adison is that he is the devil of a football player. These guys usually get out, even if it’s a little on the way. It is No. 38 edge in Class 2025 on 247Sports Composite.

Jaquel Holman, DB, Blackville (sc) Blackville-Hilda
Official size: 6 feet-1, 205 pounds

Gamecocksonline says Holman will start his career in South Carolina in the secondaryWhich is a little different, given that it is most felt that he will be an ambulance or goes back in the long run. This said he certainly corresponds to spots such as safety or nickel in the long run.

Holman is a great athlete and a universal football player who qualifies in 4.4 seconds in the dash with 40 yards and posts a 100-meter dash on the under-11 runway to run. Given that he will learn a position at the back of the defense this year, and the players Gamecocks are back looks like special teams or a red shirt where things are today.

Holman, like DOD, was actually the 247SSTS Composite Four Star. He is also in Carolina.

Cutter Woods, QB, Anderson (SC) WESTSIDE
Official size: 6 feet-3, 205 pounds

Do not count Woods on the road to the defender, no matter who is on the campus right now and who Gamecocks signs in future classes. He is the winner. He has a talent by hand. He is athletic enough and was well trained at the high school level. He is already in South Carolina, going through training and learning the position at this level under the coordinator Mike SchulaS

Woods who turned from Awaken a forestis Prospect No. 38 on a national scale in class 2025 and three -star perspective for 247Sports Composite.

Damarcus Leach, S, Abbeville (SC)
Official size: 6 feet-2, 185 pounds

Leach, which has a 21 miles clock per hour of the catapult (GPS tracker used to measure the speed of football players), is the type of perspective that always seems to work. He is the winner leading Abeville to the state title last season. He was an athlete with a lot of sports in high school. It has a length. Obviously he has speed.

The secondary, as mentioned, is a little crowded with the return of veterans and some newcomers, so it may turn out that his time will enter the match is in the future. I will probably have to accumulate a little. Special teams, given its speed, can be an option. Like the rest of the listed, he is already in USC.

But this particular athlete, when he develops, can be something special if everything goes well during his career. There is a lot of potential here and he checks many boxes for a “critical factor” when it comes to evaluation.

Leach is No. 54 for Safety on a national scale of 247Sports composite and three -star perspective.

Another thought here- Can it be an angle?

Josh SmithLB, IRMO (SC) Dutch fork
Official size: 6 feet-1, 225 pounds

There is a reason that Power Four Schools, not just South Carolina, wanted to turn Smith from an early commitment to the coastal. Smith is a talented football player who has a good motor and is a little “trembling” of the movie.

The main thought (the one I believe in) is that colleague inbound leader Donovan Darden It will probably be the freshman in the linear player during this coming season who sees the pitch. But Smith is the one who screams early surprise just because he was so well trained in high school and has the talent and upgrades to enter.

It looks like a script for a red shirt/special teams here and it would be a slight surprise if he plays a lot during this coming season in defense, but it won’t be a shock if that makes sense.

Smith was rated as a three -star perspective at 247Sports Composite.

Lower order

Follow these six players in the country moving forward. If the recent story tells us something, there will be a couple in this group, which is ultimately exceptional players for Gamecocks and will be able to target themselves to the next level.
