South Carolina Football: Gamecocks named a surprise finalist for Florida running back

South Carolina football is in the middle of one of the most consequential recruiting weekends in program history. Multiple top targets (5-star EDGE Dylan Stewart, 4-star running back Daniel Hill, 4-star wide receiver Jonathan Paylor, and others) are on campus, and they all are huge difference makers at positions of need for the future.

Off-campus, the Gamecocks got an unexpected piece of news. 3-star running back D’Marius Rucker announced his top-5 on Friday, and Carolina was included. No, South Carolina football fans, that does not say “Darius Rucker.” D’Marius Rucker plays running back and runs track for Lakeland High School in Lakeland, Florida.
