Up to1,000 campers are coming to be on campus this weekend
June 13, 2019
Coach Will Muschamp told SportsTalk on Tuesday that theGamecock staff will have 72 teams come through Thursday and Friday for 7-on-7s. There have over 1,000 offensive linemen, defensive linemen in this weekend. Muschamp also said the camps have gone great. They had numbers of up over 300 campers each day and over 400 one day. It’s a great chance to evaluation on the kids
That evaluation seems to be a favorite part of the recruiting process for Muschamp. This part of the summer is usually dotted with commitments, players the staff has had an eye on that lock in an offer with the hands-on work.
That brought Sumter corner O’Donnell Fortune, Georgia lineman Makius Scott and Abbeville lineman Trai Jones into the fold. They along with Alex Huntley, a longtime target, gave the Gamecocks 12 commits for the class and has it ranked No. 10 nationally.
“I’m very pleased with where we are and some of the evaluations we had this weekend of guys that were very good football players on tape,” Muschamp said. “Sometimes the tape can lie. To be able to work them out and be able to see their testing numbers, see their speed, their length, their athleticism, it reassures me about what kind of player they can be.”
Muschamp also said his staff has some factors and testing numbers it looks for, maybe not hard-and-fast benchmarks, but levels of performance a player needs to be near. He picked up some of that from his time with the Miami Dolphins, when he went through the draft process with Nick Saban.
Couple of Key factors Coach Muschamp likes to see:

Couple of Key factors Coach Muschamp likes to see:
- Camp can factor into that last one because it shows a little of how players approach the nitty gritty of the sport.
- “Some of these guys want to come and walk around and sit on the golf cart,” Muschamp said. “They’re not for me,”
- The coach said he looks for players who seek out 1-on-1 competition and win when that time comes.
