South Carolina football fans weren’t the only ones a little concerned when commit Ryan Hilinski picked up an offer from Stanford last month.
Some of the Gamecocks’ recruits were a little worried, including Westwood High’s Cam Smith. The senior cornerback immediately sent a text to Hilinski when he saw the post on Twitter that he was offered by the Cardinal, which he called his “dream school” and a place he wanted an offer from since the sixth grade.
“That was his dream offer and I texted him as soon as he got it. I was like ‘congrats’ but I still was like wanting to make sure he stayed with Carolina,” Smith said Friday after the 29-0 win over South Aiken on senior night.
