South Carolina could land another recruiting prize in the coming week in defensive lineman Kobe Smith of Lawrenceville, Ga.

Smith intends to will enroll at either USC or Kentucky on Sunday, Jan 10.

“It will be made Jan. 10 because that’s when I have to report to both,” Smith said.

He does not plan an announcement. He simply plans to show up at the school he has chosen.

“It just depends on where I feel right and where I can make great impact,” he said.

Smith is a former Kentucky and N.C. State commitment.

USC’s Will Muschamp and Travaris Robinson recruited him while he was at Auburn and jumped back in on him once he decommitted Dec. 27 from Kentucky.
