Gamecocks commits, targets competing at national showcase
July 01, 2019
A combination of South Carolina commits and targets will compete at one of the most prestigious national events in high school football this week, The Opening Finals. The four-day event, which began on Sunday and runs through Wednesday, is dubbed as featuring dynamic training, coaching and competition for the country’s most elite high school football players. The Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, hosts this year's competition.
• Luke Doty competes with the best - South Carolina quarterback commit Luke Doty, already considered one of the best in the 2020 class, gets the chance to match his skills with 19 fellow top quarterback prospects. The Opening runs in conjunction with the illustrious Elite 11 competition, which technically began on Friday and ran through Sunday. Doty, who was officially ranked fourth among the quarterbacks at the end of Sunday, will get the chance to quarterback a 7-on-7 team that features Carolina commit MarShawn Lloyd and major targets Tank Bigsby and Jaheim Bell, a Florida commit.
• Running backs Lloyd and Bigsby unite - South Carolina fans hope that MarShawn Lloyd and Tank Bigsby will unite at the college level. They'll get a preview of the two as teammates this week when the top running backs will compete on the same 7-on-7 team at The Opening. Lloyd, who is already committed to South Carolina, is considered the No. 6 running back and No. 34 overall prospect in his class. Bigsby, a top overall target for the Gamecocks, is ranked the No. 29 overall prospect and top player at the "athlete" position. This week's festivities will allow the two to hang out for the first time. It's a safe bet that the South Carolina program will be a topic of conversation.
• Florida commit hangs with Gamecocks - Doty, Lloyd and South Carolina offensive line commit Issiah Walker will surely put on their recruiting hats while in Texas and Bigsby isn't the only prospect they'll be targeting. High three-star tight end Jaheim Bell, a Florida commitment who took an official to South Carolina in June, is also set to compete on Doty and Lloyd's 7-on-7 unit. Despite Bell's pledge to Florida, South Carolina has given the playmaker plenty to think about and is looking to flip him to the Gamecocks.
