Kalan Ritchie
DE Kalan Ritchie (6-6 210) of Georgia Military JC will not be brought in by the new USC staff his coach said Monday morning. Ritchie signed with the Gamecocks in 2014 out of Goose Creek High School and remained committed thru the coaching transition. But GMC coach Bert Williams said they were informed late last week by the Gamecocks that Ritchie would not be part of their 2016 class.
“We understand the decision and it was handled appropriately with ample time to react,” Williams said. “No issues with us. He has a good bit of interest outside the SEC. We will know more in a few days.”
This past season Ritchie totaled 21 tackles with 7 tackles for loss and 3 sacks.
Also Monday, the BigSpur reported DB Jamarcus King of Coffeyville JC, KS, who was announced by the school in December as a signee and an early enrollee, will not be able to enroll early because of academic issues.
