Diondre Champaigne
USC coach Will Muschamp popped open a bottle of champagne Monday morning, figuratively speaking. WR Diondre Champaigne 6'3" 175lbs of Fort Dorchester called Muschamp and committed to the Gamecocks. Muschamp offered Champaigne on Saturday around the time Hanahan receiver Samuel Denmark announced he was sticking with his Virginia Tech commitment. Champaigne was blown away by the offer, by the far the best one he had received, it took him just a couple of days to sort things out.
“Me and my mom we sat down this morning and we were feeling real good about South Carolina,” Champaigne said. “She liked how the recruiting process went and how they came at me. She likes coach Muschamp a lot. I was waiting on a big offer and I finally got it.”
Muschamp first saw Champaigne in the 4A Division-One state championship game at Williams-Brice Stadium as Fort Dorchester defeated Dorman to complete an undefeated season. He had a good game against the Cavaliers and finished the season with 54 catches for 1212 yards and 16 touchdowns.
“He thinks I can spread the field a lot more for them and catch the deep ball,” Champaigne said. “My strengths are my route running and my ability to go up high and catch the ball.”
Champaigne is good friends with Fort Dorchester OL John Simpson who USC also is recruiting but he doesn’t believe his decision will impact his friend.
“I let him do his own thing,” Champaigne said. “Wherever he wants to go, that’s his choice. We’re really good friends, but he goes where he wants to go.”
Champaigne is the third receiver for the Gamecocks’ 2016 class which unofficially now totals 17. There are some commitments prior to Muschamp taking the job that are not confirmed as still on the list.
