South Carolina got off to a hot start in the 2024 recruiting cycle but has since faded in favor of Michigan<\/a>, Georgia<\/a> and Ohio State<\/a>, who currently hold the top three spots in the composite recruiting rankings<\/a> for this cycle.<\/p>\n

The Gamecocks made up some ground today, though, as two different 2024 recruits announced their commitments to South Carolina on Wednesday:<\/p>\n

Hunter (5-foot-11, 179 pounds) is ranked No. 17 among safeties<\/a> in his class and No. 4 overall in the state going by On3’s rankings. He had offers from at least eight other programs, including Coastal Carolina, Charlotte and Michigan.<\/p>\n

The other prospect coming on board is Williams (6-foot-6, 325 pounds), who ranks\u00a0<\/span>No. 91 at his position<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and No. 35 overall in the state, according to On3. Williams also had offers from 16 other programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked why he picked South Carolina, Williams credited offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley for his approach during his recruitment,\u00a0<\/span>per 247Sports<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We weren’t even talking about ball. We were talking about life. He just told me I had to make the best decision for me… He said if I didn’t want to go here, he named another SEC college he wanted me to go to because he said it would be a good fit for me. He said I would be a great fit at South Carolina, and that (other) SEC program. He gave me the real. He wasn’t a car salesman. He wasn’t trying to stack up the offensive line room.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of the offensive line room, the Gamecocks now have four offensive line commits in this class\u00a0<\/span>and nine total<\/span><\/a>. They rank No. 7 in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n
