Recruiting weekend wrap-up
Oct. 17, 2022
Tennessee vandalized the Palmetto State again in recruiting. The Vols, when good, have always been able to come into South Carolina and pull away talent from South Carolina and Clemson. Sunday afternoon Josh Heupel landed a commitment from WR Mazeo Bennett (6-0 165) of Greenville. The Gamecocks were the major in-state contender for Bennett. He did not include Clemson on his shortlist. Bennett made multiple visits to the Gamecocks during the recruiting process, as he did with Tennessee. His most recent visit was to Tennessee for the Florida game earlier this month and that experience seems to move the needle toward the Vols. Bennett is coming off a four-touchdown performance Friday night in a win over Pickens.
Gamecock commitment DT Xzavier McLeod of Camden visited Florida Saturday for the LSU game and is also thinking about going to Georgia for a game this season.
Gamecock target CB Tyler Scott of Mableton, GA visited Tennessee Saturday and now considers Tennessee his favorite.
Coach Shane Beamer was by Woodland High School Friday to check in on 2024 OT Kam Pringle. Pringle visited Georgia Saturday.
Gamecock offered 2024 RB Dilin Jones (5-11 180) of Olney, MD. Some other offers are Auburn, Kentucky, West Virginia, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Pitt, Syracuse, Kansas, Miami, Virginia Tech, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Louisville, Maryland and Florida State. In five games this season, Jones has rushed for 634 yards and 9 touchdowns.
Gamecock target 2023 WR Edwin Joseph of Hollywood, FL was at Florida State Saturday night.
Gamecock target 2024 WR Terrance Moore Jr. of Tampa was at Florida State Saturday night.
