The strength of the class: South Carolina signing class strong up front

After Wednesday’s start to the early signing period, South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp said he thought his team got better as a result of the day. That’s particularly true along the defensive line, said one recruiting analyst.

The Gamecocks’ 2019 signing class was highlighted by the first five-star signee of Muschamp’s tenure, 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive lineman Zacch Pickens of Anderson. They also added 6-foot-4, 260-pound defensive end Joseph Anderson out of Murfreesboro, Tenn., 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive end Devontae Davis out of Georgia Military College and 6-foot-2, 232-pound Rodricus Fitten, who could eventually play the team’s Buck end position.
