South Carolina football filled out the ’21 class this week.

Shane Beamer has now completed his first recruiting cycle with the Gamecocks with National Signing Day coming to a close Wednesday night. On paper, the class may seem a bit underwhelming, but when taking a deeper dive, there are many positives moving forward to the offseason.

The Gamecocks lost nearly half of its class after the firing of then head coach Will Muschamp, meaning Beamer had to both assemble a new coaching staff and hit the recruiting trail hard in just two month’s time.
