One player per county. All time football team.

[rooster59]

Greenville County - Steve Greer!

 

[demcocks]

Spartanburg County. Woodruff’s Tony Rice, last NC quarterback at Notre Dame.

 

[clarknewsom]

Tommy Suggs, former QB and current radio analyst, Darlington Co. Lamar

 

[Lowcountry1]

Berkeley County
Most will think of Bruce Ellington.
But it may be Clarence Williams who played in the 70's at USC and for the Chargers.

Both Ellingtons....partial to Bruce of course.

 

[EgotisticalGamecock]

This a crazy list!!

Just imagine where the Gamecock brand would be if we had kept all this talent in-state and in Columbia.

 

[CockofEarle]

Boy oh Boy... Art Shell from Charleston and Donnie Shell from Whitmire

Last red light leaving’ whitmire...

I saw him return the punt that beat UPC 7-3. 1968.

Oh wow, what a play, what a game to have witnessed🤗

 

[Judson1]

I’d love to be talented enough to create a map with the top guy from every county. Some sound tough while others seem unanimous.
I haven’t seen a McCormick, Hampton, Jasper county suggestion.

 

[king ward]

Spartanburg County. Woodruff’s Tony Rice, last NC quarterback at Notre Dame.

And I hope he remains the last forever.

Tyler Hellams Ted and Tom Wingard Wayne Bell Lon Shingler joe Andeeson Greenwood County

This is totally wrong. The best players ever from Berkeley County would either be Courtney Brown (1st overall pick in he NFL draft) or Joe Hamilton (1st runner up for the Heisman). Both went to Macedonia High School.

Tyler Hellams Ted and Tom Wingard Wayne Bell Lon Shingler joe Andeeson Greenwood County

Let me guess, it was one of those Wingard boyz who helped cure yer itch

 

[titaniumspur]

Tommy Suggs, former QB and current radio analyst, Darlington Co. Lamar

Someone said Lamar has produced more football talent per-capita than any town in the country.

 

[oakley51]

Berkeley County....Clarence Williams, Bruce Ellington, Mike Dingle, Harold Green, Javon Kinlaw... If only one, impossible to pick.

 

[ironwolf057]

Berkeley County....Clarence Williams, Bruce Ellington, Mike Dingle, Harold Green, Javon Kinlaw... If only one, impossible to pick.

None of them come close to Courtney Brown and Joe Hamilton.

 

[deryl49]

Spartanburg County... Steve Fuller

 

[HeckSpawn]

Greenville - Dextor Clinkscales

 

[TN-Gamecock]

Spartanburg. Stephen Davis or Marcus Lattimore. Hmmmmmm ?????

Steve Fuller, Tony Rice...

 

[TN-Gamecock]

Aiken County: The Perry Brothers

 

[TN-Gamecock]

Spartanburg County: Anyone think Willie Korn? LOL....what a joke...

 

[sclawman77]

Spartanburg County: Anyone think Willie Korn? LOL....what a joke...

No. Steve Davis (back when he went by Steve) or Lattimore

 

[TN-Gamecock]

No. Steve Davis (back when he went by Steve) or Lattimore

Best ever from Spartanburg County was/is Marcus Lattimore.....I was joking about Korn...he should've gone to Carolina and worked with Spurrier...but he had to go to Clemson to be with Dabo..how did that work out for Korn? Well he is an assistant coach at Coastal Carolina...

Yep you're right

Chester County...Mike Barber, Ken Callicutt, Marion Campbell,

[CockswilCrow]

Troy Williamson - Aiken
Alshon Jeffery - ?

 

[paladin181]

Ko Simpson and Jungleboi

That's a lot of ball hawkin' over the middle there.

 

[blsinsc]

Laurens County: JD Fuller, Ricky Foggie, Anthony Downs. Take your pick.

Don't forget about the late Roscoe Watkins! I watched him so many times at CHS - the most graceful nose guard ever! He was a good man too! Kevin Long was also from Clinton High School!

 

[king ward]

King can you think of anyone out of Lancaster? I only know kids that went to small colleges from late 80’s thru 90’s. We had decent players but I can’t remember anyone that had success in D-1

See post #119, My Brother - Tracy McGriff. See if you agree. He was a hoss and a half.

 

[budman1976]

Alshon no doubt
Or Orangeburg: Mike Williams

Orangeburg you could add Woodrow dantzler that their

 

[sclawman77]

Troy Williamson - Aiken
Alshon Jeffery - ?

Calhoun

 

[4theluvofgamecocks]

I’ll start...
Edgefield: Ira Hillary

Donnel Stanley Latta, Dillon County

 

[Bear_Rooster]

George Webster -- Westside High
Probably the greatest defensive player ever to come out of this state.

The Hagoods were really good, as was Squeaky Watson. Caron Davis and Maurice Henderson were a couple of guys that I watched in person that were pretty dang good, as well as Shaun Ellis. I’m gonna look up Webster.

 

[1SGgamecock]

Aiken - Would have to say the Fridge.

Actually both Perry Brothers would have to be on the list.

 

[Lowcountry1]

This is totally wrong. The best players ever from Berkeley County would either be Courtney Brown (1st overall pick in he NFL draft) or Joe Hamilton (1st runner up for the Heisman). Both went to Macedonia High School.

Your opinion, knew both, mother was a teacher at Macedonia, lived in the area, still think Bruce is a better athlete. No question though that Berkeley may be tops in the state.

 

[hillstosea]

Actually both Perry Brothers would have to be on the list.

Michael Dean was pro-bowler several times. Better than Fridge

 

[uscwill]

Mike Fair, Greenville County.

Mike Fair is a friend of mine. He was a neighbor and we went to the same high school (Parker). He was the best athlete ever from Parker. Actually he caused me to become a Gamecock fan when he went to Carolina 2 years ahead of my graduation.
I hate to say that I was a Clemsux fan. Thank you Mike for ever.

 

[THMoore100]

Durant played at Hampton. Must’ve been grades because when they came to Midland Valley in a playoff game I swear he was the most dominant defender I ever saw in person .
Obviously his talent was evident to make it from Hampton.

Granted, I think I was like 11 at the time. But I have no earthly idea why I thought he went to Florida St

 

[JohnnySolo]

See post #119, My Brother - Tracy McGriff. See if you agree. He was a hoss and a half.

Tracy is the only one I can think of. Big dude on the court too.

 

[hambone411]

See post #119, My Brother - Tracy McGriff. See if you agree. He was a hoss and a half.

I think he is the guy that pretty much single handedly beat the #1 12-0 Walterboro team in the 90 playoffs. If so, that guy was awesome.

 

[Silver_Coconut]

Someone said Lamar has produced more football talent per-capita than any town in the country.

I’ve heard this at least 10 different times about different counties.
