South Carolina’s football recruiting efforts continue to trend upward.
With Friday’s commitment of defensive end Joseph Anderson, the Gamecocks are No. 4 in the 247Sports Composite recruiting ranking for the Class of 2019, which factors in all networks. USC has 13 commitments for the in-progress class, including five-star defensive end Zacch Pickens, quarterback Ryan Hilinksi, receiver Jamario Holley and tight end Traevon Kenion.
The Gamecocks are ranked one spot ahead of Clemson, which has 12 commitments so far for the Class of 2019. The top three classes are Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.
