Muschamp camp update
June 20, 2019
Will Muschamp football camp today was a smaller one, possibly because of a larger expected crowd this weekend. But there was one big prospect in the building.
Kernersville, North Carolina defensive lineman Jahvaree Ritzie was in the house, not working out, but watching a teammate. He had been in Columbia in the past few weeks and made a return visit. Ritzie is a four-star prospect by both Rivals and 247. He’s the No. 124 player in the early 247 rankings and at 6-foot-4, 265 pounds is built like a house. He’s listed as a strongside defensive end and could fit there in USC’s scheme or possibly as a smaller tackle. Last year, he posted 59 tackles, 22 for loss, and 15 sacks. He holds numerous high-level offers, including South Carolina.
He spent the end of the morning session getting some one-on-one time with defensive line coach John Scott Jr. Was told he has a high level of comfort with USC, perhaps higher than most other programs.
▪ Another player who seemed to be getting a lot of attention from USC’s staff was Westside tight end Jayden Ramsey at 6-foot-6, 225 pounds good size tight end. He also seemes to move pretty well. Bobby Bentley was following him through some of the agility drills they put players through. Ramsey lists no offers to this point. In high school, he played some linebacker.
▪ Dan Werner had five or so quarterbacks working out off to the side on position-specific drills. Don’t have names on all, but got a couple. The first was Kemper Hodges out of Pope High School in Marietta, Georgia. Not the tallest (listed 5-foot-11), but well built. The 2022 QB threw for 670 yards last year in a profoundly run-heavy offense. There was also Gaffney’s Undre Lindsay, who was in with a bunch of his teammates. He threw for 2,045 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions last year, also running for 324 yards. He’s a rising junior and led the Indians to a 11-2 record last fall.
▪ A random player out there was Brandon Adams, a wide receiver/defensive back out of Arabia Mountain. He was on the sideline, appearing to have some ice on his hip or groin. He’s a 6-foot-2 junior.
▪ Also spotted tailback Rico Dowdle out there. He appeared to have come in off conditioning and spent a long time chatting, first with Thomas Brown and Bryan McClendon, and then just McClendon.
