One day after missing on one of the top quarterbacks on its board for the 2019 class, South Carolina landed another of equal importance to it as Ryan Hilinski (6-foot-3, 222 pounds) announced his intentions to sign with the Gamecocks in December. The California product picked USC instead of Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Arizona, Arizona State and Oregon.
Hilinski and his family, who plan to move with him to South Carolina, made an unofficial to USC last weekend for the spring game. That was their second visit to see the Gamecocks up close and that was enough to convince them Columbia was the right place.
