Two Gamecocks defensive targets closing in on decisions
August 05, 2018
Tampa cornerback Johnny Dixon closed out the month of July with unofficial visits to Miami and Florida. He’s got four schools still on his list as he considers a decision within a matter of weeks. Dixon said he remains in steady contact with South Carolina recruiter Travaris Robinson and he credits the Gamecock defensive coordinator with having the Gamecocks in a strong position with him.
“I like South Carolina,” Dixon said. “He (Robinson) wants me to come. He wants me to be a Gamecock. That’s my favorite coach. Through the whole process he’s got to be my favorite coach. I know for a fact they can develop me into the player I need to be.”
Meanwhile, Georgia Military College defensive back D.J. Daniel announced a final three Monday of USC, Georgia and Kentucky. He plans to announce his commitment August 16. Daniel camped in Columbia in June and he also took an official visit to Georgia in June.
Dixon took an official visit with the Gamecocks in June. He is scheduled for an official visit to Penn State in September and will also set one with Miami. Florida is the fourth school he’s still considering cutting Alabama and Ohio State from his list.
Dixon said he could make his decision withing a few weeks but he will still take his official visits to the other schools.
He does not claim a favorite at this point.
USC added a defensive back transfer in Jamel Cook from Southern Cal.
