USC has positioned itself nicely with 4 star TE Naseir Upshur 6'2" 223lbs of Philadelphia. His good friend and former teammate is Gamecock running back David Williams. Upshur visited USC last season for the Georgia game and as been high on the Gamecocks since then. But he is looking hard at others. He will visit Maryland this coming weekend and plans to take visits to Florida, Miami and Arizona State along with a return trip to USC.
Upshur said he’s in regular contact with USC recruiter GA Mangus.
“Honestly, if I were to have a top five South Carolina would be in that category,” Upshur said. “I really love South Carolina. They know how to get tight ends the ball. They have two great tight ends right now that possibly could go to the next level, that’s what makes me so high on them. I just felt like when I was there it would be a nice fit for me.”
Upshur said he had thought about making an early decision but now he plans to take his time and may wait until Signing Day.
“Wherever I go I want to be very comfortable because I’ve got to spend four to five years there,” he said. “The two I would actually put in my top five, they are in there because of how they use their tight ends. I’m not picking any school that doesn’t give the tight ends the ball.”
Upshur said Miami would be the other school in his top five along with USC at this time if he had a top five.
Some of his other offers are Arizona, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Tennessee, Penn State, Ohio State, North Carolina, Michigan, Michigan State, Auburn and Florida State.
