Dec. 13, 2022


South Carolina lost two major commitments on Tuesday. Maryland offensive tackle Oluwatosin “Tree” Babalade and junior college lineman Isaiah Jatta announced their decommittments from South Carolina via Twitter within minutes of each other on Tuesday afternoon. “I have decided to de-commit from South Carolina I just need more time to think about things,” Babalade wrote.

Added Jatta in his own post: “First and foremost, I would like to thank the University of South Carolina for giving me an opportunity to chase my football and educational dreams. I would like to thank Coach (Lonnie) Teasley for always believing me in the recruiting process.” Babalade is rated a four-star prospect and the No. 254 player in the 2023 Class, per the 247Sports Composite.

The DeMatha High School standout previously chose Gamecocks over offers from Ohio State, North Carolina, Rutgers and Maryland.

Jatta’s decommitment comes as less of a surprise. The Snow College standout has had recent interest from Auburn. Jatta visited The Plains over the weekend, per On3.com.
