DB Darin Smalls, a 2014 USC signee from Summerville who could not enroll in August because the ACT people flagged his last score, will need to retake and pass the test again, to be able to enroll in January. Smalls said Monday he was recently informed him that his qualifying score was invalid.
“I took it at another school with about 20 other kids,” Smalls said. “I’m not sure why it was flagged. Either my answers or someone else’s were close. A proctor was there.” Smalls said his score did improve a lot from the previous test but he credits that to the preparation he put into the test.
Smalls is waiting to hear back from the ACT regarding the proctors for his next test. Once he gets that letter, he will set the date for what will be his fifth test. He is also taking an on-line class in which he says if he makes an ‘A’, that, too, will aid him in qualifying. But, if he gets a qualifying test score, he said he can drop the on-line class.
Smalls tore his ACL and LCL in the third game of last season and has been rehabbing ever since. “I’m just starting to get back to the gym,” he said. “They knee is better, making a lot of progress. I can run, jump and cut.” But he hasn’t had contact on the knee.
Smalls has kept in contact with the Gamecocks and has been in for all three home games. “Everything is good with USC,” he said. “I thought it was an outstanding game (vs Georgia). The defense stepped up. I was impressed with Al Harris Jr. He held his ground.”
Once he arrives at USC, Smalls expects to be throw right into the mix at corner.
