2014 DB Lawrence Austin (5-10 170) of Griffin, GA has offers from USC, Marshall and South Alabama with interest from Penn State and Georgia Tech. Austin received the offer earlier this summer after the Showcase camp in Columbia. "I really liked it went I went down there," Austin said. "I thought is was real cool." Other than the camp, he has had very little contact with the Gamecock coaching staff. "I really only talked to coach (Lorenzo) Ward when he offered me," he said. Austin would like to attend the USC-Georgia game this season. The Bulldogs and Gamecocks are his top two teams at this point. "Georgia is really cool," he said after attending the Mark Richt camp. "It's like South Carolina but closer to home." As a sophomore, Austin totaled 35 tackles, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries returned for touchdowns and a kick off return for another score. On offense, he rushed for 835 yards on 88 carries scoring 10 times. He did not name a leader.
