June 04, 2018
During the next two weeks, several South Carolina recruiting targets will stop by Columbia for the Will Muschamp Football Camp.
The Gamecocks are set to see prospects from 2019, 2020 and 2021 classes when action starts Tuesday morning. SEC Country will be on hand for each session during Week 1, which runs through Saturday.
The Gamecocks coaches will take a break Sunday before resuming with the youth camp on Monday. Their one-day high school camps continue on Tuesday, June 12. Week 2 also includes two lineman camp sessions, a pair of high school 7-on-7 tournaments and a specialists camp.
Which prospects will be written about on SEC Country? Below are those who’ve confirmed plans to visit during the 2018 Muschamp Camp season.
Tuesday
Three-star cornerback John Dixon (Tampa, Fla.) was among the standouts last summer. Now he’s ranked as the No. 33 cornerback in the Class of 2019, according to the 247Sports composite. Dixon (6-foot, 170) recently released a lead group that includes South Carolina, Alabama, Miami, Ohio State and Penn State.
D.J. Daniel will begin his two-day stay. The junior college prospect attends Georgia Military College, which has sent Dennis Daley and Jabari Ellis to South Carolina. Daniel, a 6-foot, 180-pound cornerback, also offers from Kentucky and Ole Miss.
A foursome of prospects will visit from McEachern High School (Powder Springs, Ga.). All three of the 2020 class have already been offered: 4-star wide receiver Javon Baker (6-1, 175), 4-star defensive tackle Jamil Burroughs (6-2, 280) and 3-star running back Jordon Simmons (5-10, 180).
