Dax Hollifield
LB Dax Hollifield of Shelby, NC was back at USC last week to watch the Gamecocks practice, the latest of several visits he’s made to Columbia in recent months. This time he brought his mom with him so she could check things out as well.
Hollifield has held the Gamecocks in high esteem throughout his recruiting process and the Gamecocks currently sit atop his list along with North Carolina, Stanford, Florida and Virginia Tech. He wants to take several more visits before narrowing his list to five and then he will take his official visits.
Hollifield said there was nothing new uncovered by him on his most recent visit to USC because he’s seen all the Gamecocks have to offer inside and outside the program. But watching the practice was educational.
“I really enjoy watching them,” Hollifield said. “One thing that was different was me and (LB) Coach Hutzler were talking over the calls and stuff like that. They run the same defense as our high school. I’ve been a three year starter and will be a four year starter. I’ve played in 48 games and I know that defense really well. I like how they work hard. I really pride myself on working hard and outworking everybody. All I want and all I ask is I want an opportunity and I will prove myself. I see an opportunity there, I really do. A really good one.”
Hollifield will not be able to make the USC spring game. He’s going to Florida State Thursday and then he’s going to Florida for that spring game. He also is planning to visit Alabama to watch a visit and will make a return visit to LSU. He also plans to get out to Stanford and Notre Dame.
Hollifield does not have a decision timeline and he’s not graduating early. He also plays basketball, his dad is his coach, and is closing in on 1000 points for his career.
