What Will Muschamp said about Rick Sandidge and Dylan Wonnum
February 07, 2018
On Wednesday, South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp signed two 4-star linemen he’s spent much of the last two years recruiting.
That’s certainly a big deal for the Gamecocks 22-man signing class, which sits 19th in the country and seventh among teams from the SEC.
“At the end of the day, two very athletic big men that had offers from everybody in the country — our staff did a fantastic job of solidifying those guys,” Muschamp said. “I felt good about it all along because we had done a nice job recruiting the guys and I’m excited they are Gamecocks.”
Offensive tackle Dylan Wonnum (Tucker, Ga.), who committed last Saturday, signed just after 7 a.m. Wednesday.
“[Dylan is] very athletic, has great balance and body control, and is a guy that, from a protection standpoint, can set the edge and can play right or left tackle,” Muschamp said. “He’s a guy that we’re really excited about, and of course we know his brother, D.J., his dad, Dennis, and Consuela, his mom. They’re a great family. Getting to know the Wonnum family in the two years I’ve been here with Dennis has been awesome, so we’re really excited about Dylan.”
Defensive tackle Rick Sandidge (Concord, N.C.) revealed his decision Wednesday afternoon, but actually committed on Monday. Muschamp believes he’ll be a “powerful man inside” for the Gamecocks defense.
“He can obviously anchor, but he has wiggle enough to be able to slide out and play end in our regular package, very similar to what we’ve done with some guys before,” Muschamp said. “He’s an athletic big man that can run, that can push the pocket. He can win in the pass rush, and we really have enjoyed the recruiting process with Rick Sr., and Keisha, and Brittany, his sister, getting to know that family, and I really appreciate them being Gamecocks.”
