Wide Receivers
1. Charone Peake, Dorman 6’3” 190 Committed to Clemson
My Take: Peake is probably the best athlete to come from South Carolina at the wide receiver position since A.J. Green. He stacks up to all the comparables, too. He has a tall frame that could use maybe 10 or 15 more pounds of muscle, nothing that a college weightlifting program couldn’t fix. Peake did not really impress at the Shrine Bowl, however, which has led many to believe there is a nagging injury somewhere. Peake has many offers but committed to Clemson and Wide Receivers coach Jeff Scott on June 16th, 2010.
2. Shamier Jeffery, Calhoun County 6’2” 187 Committed to South Carolina
My take: If you listen to people on message boards and Gamecock fans all around, this is the second coming of Shamier’s brother, Alshon. I however did not see as much as everyone else did. His route running is nowhere near where his brother’s was at the time, which is to be understood with a guy who has played quarterback in high school. Jeffery is still a freak of an athlete that Steve Spurrier can mold into a playmaker more likely than not. Jeffery had offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, North Carolina State and Tennessee, but made his pledge to South Carolina on November 29, 2010.
3. Antonio Cannon, Daniel 6’3” 175 Committed to Kentucky
My take: In my opinion, Cannon is going to be the sleeper of the 2011 wide receiver class if not the sleeper of the entire 2011 class. Cannon has all the tools and a prototype D-I receiver frame. His hands are above average and he’s got a lot of speed to boot. Cannon chose Kentucky over an offer from North Carolina State, he committed to the Wildcats and Coach Tee Martin on May 24th, 2010.
4. Hakeem Flowers, Wade Hampton 6’2” 176 Considering UCLA, Michigan, Oregon, LSU and Georgia Tech
My take: Flowers is an explosive playmaker with a national reputation. He’s going to make some offensive coach look very smart sooner rather than later. He has a entire list of offers from out of state, high profile programs. He has shrunk his list down to UCLA, Michigan, Oregon, LSU and Georgia Tech. Flowers will pledge on National Signing Day (February 3rd, 2011)
5. Donte Sumpter, Myrtle Beach 6’0” 170 Committed to East Carolina
My take: Sumpter was a key cog in machine that was the 2010 Myrtle Beach Seahawk offense. He was the main target of quarterbacks Everett Golson and Mitchell Campbell. Sumpter committed to East Carolina on May 20, 2010.
6. Stanton Seckinger, Porter-Gaud 6’5” 200 Committed to Clemson
My take: Seckinger reminds me of current Clemson tight end Brandon Ford, who came into the Clemson program as an oversized wide receiver. I think Seckinger puts on some more weight and becomes a tight end or is back up plan if one of Clemson’s Receiver commits does not qualify. The only red flag I have with Seckinger is that he played against very poor competition at Charleston’s Porter Gaud school. Seckinger committed to Clemson and Coach Dan Brooks on November 16th.
Tight Ends
1. Jerell Adams, Scott’s Branch 6’5” 220 Considering South Carolina, Clemson and Arkansas
My take: It is not clearly defined what role Adams will have for the team he pledges to but one thing is for sure whoever lands him will be getting a football player. Adams played quarterback and defensive end for the Class A Division II Champion Scott’s Branch Eagles. Adams can contribute on the offense as a dynamic tight end or on defense as an outstanding pass rusher. Jerell Adams has offers from South Carolina, Clemson, Auburn, Florida, Illinois, Arkansas, Michigan, North Carolina State, and Notre Dame.
2. Marcus Bullard, Spring Valley 6’3” 200 Offers from Wake Forest and Furman
My take: Like Adams, Bullard is also a two way star. Bullard played outside linebacker for the Vikings of Spring Valley, but I think his spot in college will come at Tight End. He needs to gain some muscle to be able to handle blocks in the trenches. If he goes to an FCS school I believe he will be a standout in their program by his junior year. Bullard currently has offers from Wake Forest and Furman and interest from Auburn, Clemson, Maryland, South Carolina and Vanderbilt but don’t expect any of them to offer.
3. Craig Weick, James F. Byrnes 6’6” 195 Considering Coastal Carolina and Liberty
My take: Weick could become a real playmaker for either Coastal or Liberty. He has a frame that can become an NFL body; he also has great hands to compliment average speed. His only two offers from FCS schools are from Coastal Carolina and Liberty.
4. Alex Glover, Wando 6’3” 225 Committed to The Citadel
My take: Glover has the potential to excel in The Citadel’s offense. Glover is a great blocker and an average receiver at best. But anything the Citadel can get right now I’m sure they will take.
