OL Jordan Rhodes (6-6 300) of Fairburn, GA Sunday committed to USC at the conclusion of his official visit. Rhodes said he is shutting down his recruiting and will not take scheduled official visits to Mississippi State and Missouri.

“South Carolina is a place I can start something new and build with the teammates and pursue my career in sociology,” Rhodes said.

Rhodes said he was impressed with the new indoor practice facility and the academics.

“It was very impressive,” Rhodes said.  “Coach Muschamp has a great personality and I think I’ll fit well here.  Coach Wolford is a great guy.  He said I could possibly start at left tackle here at South Carolina.  I think we’re headed to a national championship.  All we need is to get a group of guys that’s willing to take care of each other.”

Rhodes gives USC 23 commitments for this class and four on the offensive line

he's the type kid we have not been getting in the past. The Full involvement of Boom and others on the staff will make our close rate much better that the last 2 to 3 years of SOS.

Speaking of Rhodes directly, I love his athleticism. He absolutely needs a year in the weight room to get stronger. Apparently he measured legitimately as being 6'6'' 317 lbs on his visit.

The thing that strikes me is he's that large but does not carry a "gut" on him. IMO he's the prototypical build for a LT. He's much more athletic that the 3 most recent LT's we've had (Zandi, Shell & Robinson). It'll be up to coach Wolf to get him ready sooner than later.

That for sure, the last 3 years sucked recruiting wise
