Yusuf Corker
USC had a defensive back come off its commitment list Monday in Damarri Mathis but the Gamecocks are eyeing Yusuf Corker of Stockbridge, GA as a potential replacement.
“I heard one of their DBs decommitted just recently so right now we are just talking and trying to get everything together,” Corker said. “They are just really trying to still sell the program since my commitment date is on December 26th which is my birthday. They just tell me what they need for corners and things of that nature.”
Corker said he’s been in regular contact with defensive coordinator and secondary coach Travaris Robinson. They last talked Sunday.
“They just need depth at the D-back position,” Corker said. “They play a lot of man to man, something I like to do. And he also told me I can play in the nickel also, things like that.”
Corker said he’s visited USC about five times and doesn’t want to use an official visit there saving them for schools farther away. He is going to Michigan State this coming weekend and is also looking at West Virginia, Penn State, Virginia and Syracuse for his other visits.
The fact he might not take an official visit to USC is not a negative to Corker who said the Gamecocks are the leaders, and he doesn’t think a decision is too far down the road.
“Yes sir, I’m getting close,” he said. “I was going to commit on my birthday. I’m down to a couple of schools, a handful of schools.”
Corker said he’s expecting Robinson to visit him this week. This season he had around 35 tackles with 5 interceptions.
