Hometown Miami was in the final three for St. Thomas Aquinas linebacker Jahmar Brown.

Brown committed to the Gamecocks on Thursday, joining USC's 2019 class. He also had the Hurricanes and Sanford in his final three, and said earlier in the week he had his mind made up Tuesday.
“I feel home at South Carolina,” Brown said. “I prayed for a while and I feel like I should just pull the plug. As far as Coach Muschamp and coach T-Rob go, they are two types of coaches that I want to be coached by.
