Chris Smith
South Pointe DB Chris Smith committed to the former USC staff in late July at a time when the Gamecocks were his only Power 5 Conference offer. He got had a excellent season helping lead the Stallions to a state championship and earning a spot on the Shrine Bowl team. He evened worked hard enough in the classroom to be able to graduate this month and enroll in January.
But last week new USC coach Will Muschamp passed along the disappointing news to Smith that because of needs and numbers, he wouldn’t be able to enroll early. Muschamp made it clear to Smith that the offer for signing in February was still good if he wanted to keep it.
Keep it he will. South Pointe coach Strait Herron said Sunday night Smith has decided to stay with the Gamecocks and will sign in February.
Smith is one of two defensive backs currently committed in the 2016 class.
