New USC coach visits local linebacker T.J. Brunson

Just a couple of hours after being introduced at a news conference, Muschamp stopped by Richland Northeast High School to meet with T.J. Brunson.

The senior linebacker, who is currently committed to Louisville, said it means a lot to be the first recruit Muschamp came to see.

“It’s a pretty big deal to just come out of a press conference and to already be out recruiting,” Brunson said. “It was an honor for him to come see me once he was done with everything he had to do. He came to extend a scholarship offer to me from the new staff since the old staff is gone.”

Brunson and Muschamp do not have a previous relationship, but Muschamp has watched film of the linebacker since taking the Carolina job.

“He told me that he thought that I was a good player and a better person,” Brunson said. “He sees on film that I’m a good player, but he likes the leadership qualities that I have and stuff like that.”

Brunson added that he has kept up with Muschamp’s defenses at Florida and Auburn and has been impressed by what he’s seen.

“I think he’s a great coach and a good person,” Brunson said. “He’s going to expect a lot like any defensive coordinator should. He’s going to get the best out of me.”

Former South Carolina interim coach Shawn Elliott joined Muschamp on the visit.

“I know that he’s helping right now with recruits,” Brunson said of Elliott. “I don’t know if he’s staying or gonna go.”

Brunson is unsure of when he’ll make a final decision between South Carolina and Louisville.

“(USC is) hitting the recruiting trail hard now so I’m going to talk it over with my family,” he said.
