USC Gamecocks Football

Eight Gamecocks make ESPN’s final ranking of top 300 recruits for 2020

The final recruiting rankings are starting to roll in, and according to ESPN’s top 300, South Carolina football is bringing in a bit of a haul.

The last edition of the 2020 rankings from ESPN had eight Gamecocks signees or commits. The group is led by Jordan Burch at No. 4, with running back MarShawn Lloyd up next at No. 56.

ESPN ranked the overall class at No. 18 nationally.

Where each of USC’s signees or pledges ranks:

No. 4 DE Jordan Burch

No. 56 RB MarShawn Lloyd (signed)

No. 83 QB Luke Doty (signed)

No. 184 DL Tonka Hemingway (signed)

No. 223 WR Mike Wyman (signed)

No. 225 DL Alex Huntley

No. 227 LB Mohamed Kaba (signed)

No. 264 OT Tyshawn Wannamaker (signed)

The team is less than two weeks away from the second signing day, one where presumably Burch (a five-star) and Huntley will sign. Both were committed by the end of the early signing period but as players who couldn’t enroll early, they chose not to sign.

USC has already signed 17 players for 2020, plus added graduate transfer quarterback Collin Hill from Colorado State.
