South Carolina head football coach Will Muschamp and assistant Bryan McClendon dropped in on Robert Tucker of B.E.S.T Academy in Atlanta Thursday morning, and before leaving they had secured a commitment from the 6-3, 240-pound tight end.
“It means a lot, it was a blessing to commit to an SEC team and I’m very excited to go play for Coach Muschamp,” Tucker said. “Coach Muschamp and Coach McClendon came by and I committed.”
Tucker is a versatile player and has the ability to play linebacker as well as tight end, but he said the Gamecock coaches like him strictly for offense.
