Yafari Werts
It was reported Monday afternoon that USC will not sign RB Tyren Jones of Hutchinson JC, KS for academic reasons. The Gamecocks may turn their interests back to ATH Yafari Werts of Newberry as a way of filling that spot on the offense side created by the Jones’ situation.
“I talked to Coach Elliott today,” the Shrine Bowler said Monday afternoon. “He said he’ll get back to me tonight and to be patient, everything will work itself out.”
Werts has been on the proverbial recruiting rollercoaster with the Gamecocks. He is committed to Georgia Southern but USC started to recruit him after Will Muschamp came in and brought him in for a visit January 22nd. After not being offered that weekend, Werts moved on and visited Appalachian State this past weekend. He had made up his mind to sign with either the Eagles or the Mountaineers Wednesday until Monday’s call.
“I’m willing to wait,” he said. “It’s very frustrating. It’s gotten to a point I just want to be left alone. I’m just kind of tired of it and want to make the best decision for me and my family. I know the kind of player I am and with the football in my hand, wherever I go, I’m going to be a playmaker.”
Playing quarterback for the Bulldogs last season and leading them to the 2A state championship game, Werts accounted for over 2500 yards and 32 touchdowns.
