"I don't really have any particular order with these schools but I know South Carolina is number one," Rodgers said. "I like the coaching staff and the campus. It's a football town. We don't really have that here in Maryland. Everyone here wants to play somewhere like (USC)." Rodgers plans to take two unofficial visits to Columbia prior to his official visit. "I want to go to a really big game and one of their rival games," he said. "I hear it gets pretty crazy there." His last trip to USC was for the spring game. Rodgers has not set up any of his official visits but did say, "I'll probably go to a couple of schools I haven't seen yet like Oklahoma and Arkansas to get a feel for them. Once I've done that, I may go ahead and commit to South Carolina."

Na'Ty Rodgers still feeling USC after first visit

OL Na'Ty Rodgers of Pomfret, MD made the first of what will be at least three visits to USC over the weekend. Rodgers drove in on Saturday and stayed overnight before returning home Sunday. Rodgers has been favoring the Gamecocks and that has not changed. "I told them (the coaches) they are my number one school but I'm going to wait until the bowl game (Semper-Fidelis on January 4th) to make my decision. It was a real exciting game, a good experience. They have a lot of young talent and in a couple of years those guys will be ready to go." Rodgers spoke Sunday morning with Steve Spurrier but spent most of his time visiting with Shawn Elliott and GA Mangus. He also got a chance to visit the campus.
