The rumor mill both in Columbia, SC and Baton Rouge, LA is running hot on Wednesday. Four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound playmaker out of Jackson, Alabama has become the center of one of Earley Signing Day's most intriguing subplots. And the clock is ticking.
As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, Duckworth still had not signed with South Carolina, the program he committed to in July and later reaffirmed. In the SEC, silence isn’t neutral. Silence is leverage. And right now, LSU is pushing every button available to flip the No. 10 quarterback in the 2026 class.
