South Carolina’s 2027 recruiting class unwrapped a Christmas Day gift when four-star safety Jernard Albright from Effingham County in Springfield, Ga. officially pledged to the Gamecocks, becoming a cornerstone piece for Shane Beamer’s rising defensive foundation. Albright stands 6-foot-2, weighing 205 pounds and is ranked No. 120 overall in the Rivals300. He shut down his recruitment early despite a nearly two dozen offers that included power programs across the SEC and beyond.
