Gamecocks pushing to flip FSU commit

Linebacker Rosendo Louis of Deerfield Beach, Fla., had an in-home visit with South Carolina last week and might take his official visit with the Gamecocks this coming weekend.

“They told me I can come in, put in the work and the time, and play as a true freshman,” he said.

Louis (6-1, 225) has been committed to Florida State and said that remains in place. He’s expecting the Seminoles to visit him this week. He has taken an official to Florida State.

Louis said he will announce his final choice and sign on Dec. 20, then enroll in January.
