Quarterback options for the 2019 class
Feb. 26, 2018
The 2019 South Carolina recruiting class, Will Muschamp’s fourth group with the Gamecocks, currently includes six commitments, four of whom are committed to play on the offensive side of the ball.
Let's takes a look at the quarterback targets who eventually could join them in South Carolina’s 2019 haul.
South Carolina flirted with the idea of signing two quarterbacks during the 2018 cycle, so it’s within reason to think it could be considered again in 2019.
2019 South Carolina recruiting targets
Among the offered prospects, Shrader could be most likely to end up with South Carolina, but Mississippi State is certainly in the mix, too. But Hilinski is set to get his first look at the school this weekend.
Shrader is one of four 2019 quarterbacks with an offer from the Gamecocks. All four were dispensed while Kurt Roper was still coaching the position at South Carolina. One of those prospects, 3-star Ty Evans, is committed to Colorado, where Roper now works.
