Early returns from Will Muschamp Football Camp, elite South Carolina QB targets excel, and more

June 05, 2017

Greetings from camp

The Gamecocks hosted several recruits for the first day of the Will Muschamp Football Camp on Saturday.

Top visitors included:


  • 2018 DE Stephon Wynn Jr.
  • 2018  T Dylan Wonnum
  • 2018 S R.J. Roderick
  • JUCO DT Jabari Ellis
  • JUCO G Damien Lewis
The five play positions of need for the Gamecocks — four of them potentially adding a combination of depth, talent and experience to the trenches.
If anyone knows how critical depth is along the line of scrimmage, it’s South Carolina offensive line coach Eric Wolford. According to SEC Country’s Hal McGranahan, Wolford spent “a considerable amount of time chatting up both Wonnum and Lewis.”

While assistant director of player personnel Shaq Wilson met with Wynn and his family, head coach Will Muschamp chatted up Roderick, which proved to be time well spent …

Roderick, a 247Sports 3-star safety, committed to the Gamecocks on Saturday.

“Roderick, a 6-foot, 207-pound prospect from Cane Bay High School (Summerville, S.C.), committed to the Gamecocks over offers from Duke, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and North Carolina State,” reports Hale McGranahan.

“Actually, Coach Thompson taught me a couple of things 1-on-1. I just got the feel for the type of coach he is,” Ellis said. “I just realized he knows a lot of stuff. He knows a lot of things, what he’s talking about.”

Elite QB targets in Elite 11

Two of South Carolina’s top quarterback targets in the Class of 2018 took part in the Elite 11 during the weekend: 4-star prospect Dakereon Joyner (North Charleston, S.C.) and 3-star prospect Tyler Shough (Chandler, Ariz.).
