South Carolina football added it to its 2020 recruiting class and didn’t have to go far to get him. 4 star Hammond defensive tackle Alex Huntley 6'4" 285lbs committed to the Gamecocks on Saturday, giving South Carolina its third commitment of the weekend and 11th for next year’s class.
Sumter’s O’Donnell Fortune and Gainesville High (Georgia) defensive tackle Markius Scott committed on Friday. Huntley’s other top choices were Georgia, Texas, Stanford, LSU, and Oklahoma. He made his announcement on a video posted on Twitter. Huntley said during football season he might wait until during the school year to announce but said this week he would probably announce sometime this summer. Huntley is a four-star prospect by 247 Sports and ranked as the fourth-best prospect in the state and 17th-best defensive tackle in the country. He also was selected to play in the All-American Bowl in January of 2020.
Huntley grew up in Maryland before moving to South Carolina. The Gamecocks were Huntley’s first offer back in May of 2017. He has made numerous visits to the campus and games over the past few years. “Just the atmosphere there (USC). I already have a name at the stadium. I will be walking and people will be saying my name. That is a cool humbling thing,” Huntley said in November. “It is a humbling thing for me. I’m really blessed to be going through this. Hard work pays off.”
Huntley has built a close relationship with new USC defensive line coach John Scott. “I love him, he’s a great dude and a great coach. I think he’s a great fit,” Huntley said of Scott. Huntley has been a force on the Hammond defensive line and had 48 tackles, 16 for loss and seven sacks in helping the Skyhawks to their second straight state title. Huntley also played lacrosse and was on the track team this season. He was a state champion in the shot put in the SCISA 3A track and field championships.
