On Monday, a day after taking his official visit with the Gamecocks, Richland Northeast LB TJ Brunson (6-1, 220) announced a commitment to USC. Brunson, a former Louisville commitment, also considered offers from Maryland and Virginia Tech.
“I’ve often heard that it isn’t a four-year decision but a 40-year decision, and after much thought and prayer, I’d like to make the announcement that I’ll be attending the University of South Carolina,” is what Brunson wrote on Twitter in revealing his decision.
Brunson overcame a serious hip injury during his junior season to become one of the state’s top defensive players in 2015.
