South Carolina’s football team closed Wednesday with the second big haul of defensive backs in as many seasons.
The early signing day list had four defensive backs, plus one receiver who said the staff talked to him about defense, and two more commits projected to play in the secondary. And they’re not going to be held back if they can help.
“We don’t sign them unless we think they can play,” Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said. “How much they’ll contribute, I don’t know. We don’t know until they get on campus. We’ll evaluate those guys. Are they going to have the opportunity?
