George Wilson Announces Commitment to South Carolina Gamecocks
The South Carolina Gamecocks have been busy shopping the spring transfer portal, as is every college football program and they just picked up a commitment from Campbell transfer EDGE George Wilson.
Wilson was committed to South Carolina back in 2021 but ultimately backed off of that commitment following the news of Will Muschamp leaving South Carolina. He then committed to Florida State and then transferred to Campbell after that.
In the 2021 recruiting class, Wilson was rated a four-star prospect, the 366th-best player in the country, the 24th-best EDGE and the 10th-best player in the state of Virginia, according to composite rankings.
Over the last two seasons at Campbell, Wilson has racked up seven sacks and 34 total tackles. During his time at Florida State, Wilson redshirted his first season and then appeared in three games the next season.
South Carolina was searching for some depth at EDGE in this transfer portal class. They were linked to North Carolina EDGE Beau Atkinson and now they have landed a commitment from Wilson. This is also significant news as Atkinson is linked to Ohio State, so South Carolina was still able to find an answer at the position with it looking like they are going to lose out on Atkinson.
Demon Clowney, another EDGE transfer, also committed to South Carolina as he committed to the program earlier in the month after transferring from Louisville.
George Wilson, a highly sought-after recruit in the world of college football, made headlines today by announcing his commitment to the South Carolina Gamecocks. The dynamic athlete, known for his explosive speed and versatility on the field, chose South Carolina after a thorough evaluation of various programs. During a press conference held at his high school, Wilson expressed his excitement about joining the Gamecocks, stating, “I felt an immediate connection with the coaching staff and the team’s vision for the future. South Carolina feels like home.”
Wilson, a star at his high school in Georgia, has been noted for his impressive statistics, including over 1,200 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns in his senior season alone. His commitment is seen as a significant boost for the Gamecocks, who are looking to enhance their recruiting class and strengthen their roster for the upcoming seasons. Head Coach Shane Beamer welcomed Wilson warmly, emphasizing the unique talent and potential he brings to the team. As the Gamecocks prepare for a challenging season ahead, Wilson’s decision marks a promising step toward building a brighter future for the program, with fans eagerly anticipating his impact on the field.
