South Carolina commit Jordan Burch, No. 5 overall recruit, didn't sign NLI

Five-star defensive end Jordan Burch did not sign his national letter of intent in the early signing period after committing to South Carolina.

Burch was the top-ranked uncommitted prospect when the early signing period started on Wednesday, and the fifth-ranked recruit overall chose South Carolina over Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and LSU.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive end from Hammond School in Columbia, South Carolina, announced his commitment to the Gamecocks on ESPNU Wednesday, but did not sign his national letter of intent within the early signing window that ran from Wednesday to Friday.
