Malek Johnson (2) will be called upon to continue his magical play as a senior.
Quez Nesbitt accumulated over 3,000 total yards – 2,000 plus – last year in all-purpose yardage. He averaged 10 yards per rush last year.

Dorian Lindsay, a sophomore, worked as the first-team quarterback throughout the 7-on-7 scrimmages this summer and appears to be the leading candidate to start.
Young, returning for his ninth year as the fourth winningest Greer head coach, says the first practice is more organizational to steer first-year players to their position coaches and introduce them to the practice routine.
High school football practice officially begins Friday with the first three days for conditioning drills.
Quez Nesbitt, senior all-state running back, returns to lead the Yellow Jackets. Over 50 players, freshmen – seniors, will report to practice.
The Yellow Jackets will host its annual Camp Swarm Aug. 7-9. Greer will scrimmage Gaffney on Aug. 9 to end Camp Swarm.
There are three jamborees and a scrimmage at J.L. Mann scheduled.
The preseason schedule:
Aug. 9, Meet the Jackets, scrimmage with Gaffney
Aug. 10, FCA Jamboree at North Greenville University
Aug. 13, scrimmage at J.L. Mann
Aug. 17 at J.L. Mann Jamboree
Aug. 23 at Blue Ridge Jamboree
