10. Donell Stanley, OG
Via 247Sports
Height: 6'4''
Weight: 327 pounds
Hometown: Latta, S.C.
School: Latta High School
Ranking: 4-star
247Sports Prediction: South Carolina 100%
Bleacher Report Prediction: South Carolina
Donnell Stanley is a big lineman who's versatile enough to play guard or tackle. At his size, he could be a dominant guard, but he may project best as a tackle. Either way, that versatility is huge, especially on the offensive line.
His size allows him to drive defenders back and overpower them at the point of attack. He does a great job of extending his arms and pushing back the defender, and he's quick out of his stance.
The one negative for Stanley is that he plays too tall. He needs to work on getting lower, improving his center of balance and establishing leverage.
Stanley is a big-in state recruit for the Gamecocks and seems to be leaning their way. South Carolina is the top team on his 247Sports interest list.
