One of the most explosive running backs in the 2026 recruiting class is set to announce his decision today, and South Carolina is right in the mix of it. Four-star Blountstown, Florida running back Amari Thomas is expected to reveal his commitment today around 3 p.m. ET. The Gamecocks are among the final four schools in contention for his commitment alongside Colorado, Georgia Tech, and former pledge Florida State.
At 5-foot-10 and 178 pounds, Thomas rushed for an impressive 1,880 yards and 34 touchdowns as a junior. He also averaged 12.3 yards per carry. That kind of production on the field alone tells you why South Carolina has been heavily invested in his recruitment.
