Which South Carolina football recruit will make a big splash?

South Carolina’s 2021 recruiting class was a bit underwhelming to those outside of the program. When all was said and done, the group ranked as the SEC’s worst class, and the 80th-best in all of college football. The Gamecocks signed the fewest amount of high school prospects of any Power Five program in the nation, and instead, focused on getting better through the transfer portal.

While the class may seem disappointing due to its low ranking, there are certainly some impact players that could see the field early and often in Columbia.
