Jaylon Jeter Jaylon Jeter 5'11" | PG Ridge View | 2021 State SC (2021) – Ridge View HS
Jeter is just another guard in this loaded back court for the Blazers. Jeter can really create space while on the floor and get the ball into gaps. Jeter is very heady with his play and just another strong option for Head Coach Yerrick Stoneman in the backcourt.
AJ Thompson AJ Thompson 5'10" | PG Northwestern | 2021 State SC (2021) – Northwestern HS (Rock Hill)
Thompson is a great leader on the floor from the point guard position. Thompson can knockdown open shots and direct traffic from out top. Thompson plays the game with a competitive edge and isn’t afraid to sacrifice a charge or a floor burn for the benefit of the team.
Tysean Osby Tysean Osby 6'2" | SF Spring Valley | 2021 State SC (2021) – Spring Valley HS
Osby a multiple sport athlete started off his career at nearby Richland Northeast HS. Osby a wide receiver on the gridiron plays in the back court for the Vikings basketball team.
