With Joyner locked in, five in-state targets USC should go after

Now that Fort Dorchester quarterback Dakereon Joyner has committed to South Carolina, here are five other in-state prospects the Gamecocks could surround him with. Joyner also says he hopes to flip the nation’s No. 1 recruit, Xavier Thomas from Florence, who has committed to Clemson.

1. Channing Tindall

Spring Valley, LB, 6-2/213

The No. 3 prospect in S.C., according to 247Sports, and is in the top 300 nationally by ESPN, Scout and 247Sports.

2. Stephon Wynn

IMG Academy, DE, 6-4/279

From S.C., but like Thomas is playing his senior season at IMG in Florida. Momentum seems to be shifting toward USC.
