South Carolina Football: Major DB target sets top-5, names leader

Jalewis Solomon is a 4-star athlete from Schley County High School in Ellaville, Georgia. The big-time prospect is being recruited as a wide receiver by some schools but seems to have more suitors as a defensive back. South Carolina football has emerged as one of Solomon’s favorite schools, and Gamecock defensive backs coach Torrian Gray is recruiting him as a secondary player.

Solomon took his official visit to campus earlier in June and, according to all reports, he had a great time in Columbia. For the last month or so, South Carolina football has appeared to be one of two favorites to land the 6’1″, 190-pound recruit along with Florida State.
