DB JJ Givens of Mechanicsville, VA committed to USC in June following a camp visit and said the commitment remains in place. He has two official visits set at this point, USC for the Clemson weekend and Arizona State later this month. But he’s looking at other possible visits to Clemson, Ole Miss and Penn State.
Givens said Clemson, in particular, has been making a strong push for him in recent weeks and is also recruiting him as a cornerback.
“They’ve kind of been recruiting me a lot harder the last couple of weeks,” Givens said. “Coach Venables has been my primary recruiter and he has been recruiting me the hardest of all the coaches. He really wants me there. It’s crazy. I feel like if I were to decommit and go to Clemson I’d be the most hated person in South Carolina. On the maroon (garnet) side at least. I don’t know what the future holds but right now I’m a Gamecock.”
And the Gamecocks continue to recruit Givens hard as well. He talked Tuesday with recruiter Deke Adams.
“He told me I can come in early and play and they really like me as a cornerback,” Givens said. “I’m still committed, still 100%, but I just feel as though I should take officials just to make sure I’m doing what’s best for me, just go have fun with the process even though I’m committed. Mainly, just going around and making sure I’m doing what’s best for me.”
Givens said he won’t finalize the decision until December.
