Dakereon Joyner is staying in South Carolina.
In a move that came as little surprise, Joyner announced that he would play his college football for the Gamecocks during a ceremony at Fort Dorchester High School. The in-state star spurned N.C. State, the other program in his final two, to remain close to home and play for Will Muschamp in Columbia.
Joyner is ranked as the #4 player in all of South Carolina and as the #10 dual-threat quarterback in the country by 247Sports. A 6’2”, 200-pound rising senior, he was recruited as an athlete by several schools, but wished to play quarterback in college.
