Gamecocks have good chance to regain Character

One time USC commitment DB Marlon Character of Atlanta is one again seriously considering the program with the arrivals of Will Muschamp and Travaris Robinson from Auburn. Character knows both well because after decommitting from USC in November, he committed to Auburn. That pledge remains for now but Character is going to give Muschamp and Robinson a good opportunity to bring him back to the Gamecocks.
“I talked to T-Rob the day before yesterday about my official there,” Character said Wednesday night. He is scheduled to visit USC officially January 30th after visits to Auburn and Virginia Tech. He is down to those three schools. “I have a relationship with both coaches from Auburn and I heard B-Mac (Bryan McClendon) is coming in and I have a great relationship with him. I’ll get down on an official and see how things come together, see how they fit and if I fit into it as well. I really just want to see how they are the same as how they were with Auburn. That’s all I need to see. I’m making sure everything is in place, no missing pieces.”
While he’s still committed to Auburn, Character is “wondering about their new defensive coordinator and exploring my options. Auburn still leads.”
Character said he will wait until Signing Day before announcing a final decision, and the fact his two former Auburn recruiters now reside at USC appears to be a bonus for the Gamecocks.
“Working out with T-Rob, he’s a great coach, got a lot of energy,” he said. “I have a great relationship with both of them. I can say I have a stronger relationship with them than any of the others. I talk to T-Rob pretty much every day.”
This season Character estimated he had around 50 tackles and 6 interceptions.
