USC has lost one of its top commitment from the 2015 recruiting class. 4 star LB Davon Durant 6'-4" 240lbs, the Greenwood native who attends Butler JC, KS said tonight he has decommitted from the Gamecocks and there’s very little chance of reconsidering.
“It’s nothing they did,” Durant said. “I was thinking about it and I thought it wouldn’t be the best choice for me. They’ve got a lot of linebackers and a lot of guys coming back. I’m going to give other people a chance.”
USC and Durant have a long relationship going back to his Shrine Bowl days at Greenwood High School. He wanted to go to USC out of high school but didn’t have the grades. This time, according to Durant, academics was not an issue in his decision to rescind his commitment.
“I’m going to get out in December,” Durant said. “They (USC) already had my transcript. It’s nothing with grades. Coach Botkin came out here on his bye week, and I talked to him last night. He wanted me to enroll in January. He said if I change my mind give him a call. I doubt I will. After decommitting, I don’t want to wast anybody’s time. I never gave anybody else a chance and after thinking about it and talking to other people, I figured I’d give others a try.”
Durant took an official visit to Arizona State in the summer and right now he is favoring the Sun Devils.
“I like their defense and they have a good scheme,” Durant said. “Their coaches are great. We hit it off on my official. It’s a good program and defensively I think I would fit well.”
But Durant is not stopping his shopping with Arizona State. He has scheduled official visits to Oregon and Texas A&M for the last two weekends in November. He’s also been looking at Florida State, Georgia and Ole Miss. He said he’ll probably make his decision after the Texas A&M visit.
