Muschamp camp update: RB Tank Bigsby in town along with more four-stars
June 22, 2019
It seemed as if half of South Carolina’s football coaching staff was in the middle of the field early on during Saturday’s Will Muschamp camp. Four-star tailback Tank Bigsby was at the middle of it. Was he with family? Yes he was. Was he in a lot of Gamecocks gear, including socks and a shirt? Also yes.Bigsby, a high-profile target was on campus for the first time since his official visit at the end of May. He dropped by at Auburn three times in a 2-week span. He was getting face time Saturday with Thomas Brown, Bryan McClendon and even Eric Wolford. Bigsby officially visted from May 31-June 1.
The 2,000-yard tailback is the No. 50 recruit in the country. He was also mingling with Gamecocks commits Lovasea Carroll and Issiah Walker, plus quarterback target Colten Gauthier.
▪ Gauthier was in with family, many decked out in Gamecocks gear and was getting a lot of attention from the coaches, especially position coach Dan Werner. Werner took Gauthier outside to work on some finer points. He was flanked by Carroll, who was working him hard. Muschamp was also out watching. According to his team’s MaxPreps profile, the 6-foot-3, 203 pounder threw for 2,088 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions as a sophomore and was named all-region. His team went 6-6. USC has landed three four-star QBs in a row. If that buildup interferes with getting another big-name guy, Gauthier, who is not yet ranked looks like a pretty solid option.
▪ Walker has taken some looks at schools in Florida (he’s from Miami), but he was around all morning, going through drills. He was in with a cluster of guys from his high school, Miami Norland. The four-star is the No. 149 recruit in his class and a longtime USC commit.
▪ Also spotted a mountain of a human in Lee Hunter out of Eight Mile, Alabama. The 6-foot-5, 292 pounder is the No. 29 player in the 2021 rankings. As a sophomore, he had 56 tackles as and seven sacks. He has offers from Auburn, Tennessee, Florida State, LSU, Texas A&M, Oregon and a slew of others. He’s not listed with a USC offer on 247Sports, but hard to imagine he won’t end up with one.
▪ Three-star corner Anthony Johnson Jr. was also in with the group from Miami Norland. He has a USC offer, along with Syracuse and FAU.
▪ Also spotted IMB academy 2021 tight end Christian Burkhalter. He’s 6-foot-5, 215 pounds and is listed as a top-370 prospect. A three-star, he played wide receiver previously. He has Arkansas, Duke and Florida State offers. He left Columbia with an offer.
▪ A name to perhaps watch, Bryson Jennings out of Virginia. He’s on the skinny side, but already holds UVA and Virginia Tech offers.
