South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp has long preached the importance of recruiting well in-state.
On Wednesday, as his team wrapped up the early signing period with a class of 18 newcomers, he made a boast of sorts about how his team fared securing the talent of the Palmetto State.
“First thing you’ve got to be able to do is own your state,” Muschamp said. “We offered four guys in the state of South Carolina and all four came.”
That group is five-star lineman Zacch Pickens, four-star corner Cam Smith, three-star tight end KeShawn Toney, plus junior college defensive lineman Devontae Davis.
