Three Gamecock targets with decisions next week
Dec. 12, 2019
The start of the early signing period (Dec. 18-20 this year) is less than a week away which means that most of South Carolina's committed football prospects will be officially inking with the Gamecocks and a few remaining targets will be announcing their commitments. Here's a look at three Gamecock prospects to watch next week.
Five-star DE Jordan Burch - Columbia (S.C.) Hammond School
Ranked the No. 8 overall prospect in the country and the No. 1 strongside defensive end. Schools have come from all over to try and land the elite pass-rushing prospect. Burch has settled on a final five of South Carolina, LSU, Clemson, Alabama and Georgia - in no order - and is in the final stages of his recruiting process now. Burch will announce his decision to the college football world on Thursday, Dec. 19.
Four-star JUCO RB ZaQuandre White - Iowa Western CC
White originally signed with an enrolled at Florida State out of high school, but transferred out to Iowa Western where he was one of the top junior college backs in the country this season. At last check, White appeared to be focused on South Carolina and Tennessee, two programs he's recently officially visited. White plans to sign on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period.
Three-star TE Jaheim Bell - Valdosta (Ga.)
Considered the No. 18 tight end prospect in the 2020 class, Bell has been a top priority for the Gamecocks for some time. He made a surprise commitment to Florida last April, but backed off that pledge in July. The Gamecocks have been considered the perceived favorite since then. Officially, Bell has a top three of South Carolina, Oklahoma and Florida State. He'll announce and sign on Wednesday.
