South Carolina football is in the middle of a big weekend for the future of the program. Three big-time players are set to announce their college decisions on Friday and Saturday.
On Friday, class of 2026 quarterback Landon Duckworth is set to announce his college decision later in the evening, and the Gamecocks have to turn around quickly for another announcement from 4-star defensive back Jalewis Solomon who is slated to make his public commitment on Saturday.
But first, around dinnertime on Friday, a commitment decision came from speedy 4-star wide receiver Jonathan Paylor. Paylor was long considered a heavy lean to pick South Carolina football, but recent months saw things shift more in favor of the NC State Wolfpack.
