Xavier Legette
USC coach Will Muschamp loves to uncover hidden gems within the state, players who are not heavily recruited but who he feels can be developed into winners with the Gamecocks. He’s found another in the 2019 class in Mullins ATH Xavier Legette (6-3 190). Legette visited USC for the Tennessee game and might eventually call Columbia home.
“I feel like I fit in pretty good with them” Legette said. “The quarterback throws the ball pretty well. I just need to work on my route running a little bit so I can get open.”
Legette plays quarterback for the unbeaten Auctioneers but said the Gamecocks like him primarily as a receiver though he also talked Saturday with defensive coordinator and secondary coach Travaris Robinson about playing over there.
Legette also met with Muschamp in his office and got an offer from the Gamecocks’ head man, though it came with a twist.
“He was telling me about how my recruiting process going,” Legette said. “He said I’ve got a full scholarship offer from there right now but as of right now I can’t enroll in June. “I have to enroll August 1st when the school starts because he doesn’t have enough (scholarship) numbers right now. He put me on the scholarship with the 2020 class.”
Legette said that arrangement is fine with him though he wasn’t prepared to say yes right away. He also has an offer from Coastal Carolina and is hearing from Georgia State and Wake Forest. He also has been to Coastal Carolina and Georgia State for games.
“I’m still looking around to see what other opportunities come, and I’m trying to wait a little more to make sure everything is good schoolwise.”
Legette said he won’t take too long to make a decision and he plans to return to USC for the Tennessee-Chattanooga game.
