South Carolina football recruiting: Spurs Up Cookout odds and ends - including a DaKereon Joyner update - and more

—Some big-time progress was made in the recruitment of DaKereon Joyner, one of the crown jewels of the 2018 recruiting class. In fact, Clemson’s desire to play him as a defensive player instead of a QB - which he prefers - may hurt the Tigers’s chances in the long run, according to an interview he had with The Big Spur’s JC Shurburtt.

South Carolina's momentum with the four-star prospect began when Muschamp and staff took over. The Gamecocks re-offered him as a quarterback and have been recruiting him hard ever since...

Clemson, which was the early favorite, has offered Joyner as an athlete/safety.
