Prep Redzone spotlights Allendale-Fairfax Tigers ahead of 2026 season

Prep Redzone South Carolina put Jamazin Smart, Kaiden Odoms, Zane Maner, Crainerus Nickens and Keeghan Glover in the spotlight with its 2026 Allendale-Fairfax Tigers preview, posted July 11 at 10:58 a.m. The list gives Fairfax another set of names to watch when the Tigers take the field on Friday nights at Allendale-Fairfax High School.

Those players sit at the center of a program that still anchors the school year in Allendale County. Allendale County Schools lists Travis Lewis as the varsity head coach, with Jonathan Williams serving as defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, Keyshawn Jenkins working with running backs and wingbacks, and Khalil Koger, Marlon Creech, Xavier Reid and Anthony “Roc” Cuthbertson on the staff.

Several of the players singled out in the preseason preview already appear on the school’s public roster trail. Hudl’s Allendale-Fairfax boys varsity football roster includes Smart, Odoms, Glover and Leviticus Gill, linking the previewed names to the group that will actually shape the Tigers’ fall depth chart. For a small program in Fairfax, that overlap matters because the public face of the roster is still close to the team itself.

MaxPreps’ football history shows the Tigers have stayed within a fairly tight roster range in recent seasons, listing 26 players in 2025-26, 28 in 2024-25 and 25 in 2023-24. The site’s 2026-27 roster page listed one player at the time of review, leaving the focus on the core names already associated with the program and the coaches charged with developing them.

For Allendale-Fairfax, the preseason attention is not about a distant projection. It is about the players, coaches and roster continuity that will decide whether Friday nights in Fairfax feel familiar, or become something the town talks about well beyond the final whistle.
