Several defensive ends among Gamecocks’ top 2019 targets
Feb. 26, 2018
The 2019 South Carolina recruiting class, Will Muschamp’s fourth group with the Gamecocks, currently includes six commitments, including two who are committed to play defense.
Let's takes a look at the defensive ends who could eventually join them in the Gamecocks’ 2019 haul. Included in this feature are prospects for the ‘Buck’ position, which is a hybrid of the defensive end and outside linebacker positions.
With that spot remaining and the potential for attrition over the next 10 months, multiple defensive ends and ‘Bucks’ are expected to be signed in the 2019 class. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see a combined total of three or four players at that position. Of course, two are already committed.
Four-star defensive tackle signee Rick Sandidge could see time at the position, as well as 3-star offensive tackle Jesus Gibbs, who signed as a defensive lineman. But we’ll classify them as tackles in this series.
