Sumter High School has a track record of sending quarterbacks to the Division I ranks and to the NFL.
Start with Freddie Solomon, who played 11 years in the NFL as a wide receiver. Then there is Keith West at Wake Forest and Wally Richardson at Penn State. But current Gamecocks quarterback and rising senior Stephen Curtis might be the most complete of the four.
"I would have to rank him among the top skilled quarterbacks to ever play here,” said Sumter coach Paul Sorrells, who has been at the school 25 years. "He might be ... the best overall package as far as throwing, running and the intangibles that come from playing that position."
