2012 South Carolina Mister Football Finalists
Akia Booker, Byrnes WR
The tradition of Byrnes greats continues with Akia Booker - who had over 50 touchdown catches in his high school career.
ESPN.com's scouting report says Akia is the type of receiver you throw the ball up to vertically and expect him to go up and grab it. Shows very good hands and concentration adjusting to the difficult throw. Does a good job adjusting and contorting his body while the ball is in the air. Will make the leaping grab over smaller DB's and is a very good red zone and jump-ball skills.
Akia Booker is undecided on his college choice and will play for South Carolina in the Shrine Bowl.
Ben Boulware, TL Hanna LB
At 6 foot, 225 pounds, Boulware recorded 174 tackles, with 10 for loss, two sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He's an ESPN Top 150 Recruit and their scouting report says he can stack and shed blockers at this with strength or beat them to the point of attack with quickness. He plays with good downhill pad level when filling and makes a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage with his good downhill burst to the football as a blitzer and relentless effort.
Boulware is committed to play college football for Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers and has been selected to play in the Under Armour All-American game as well as the Shrine Bowl
