Stephon Gilmore carved out a dominant run with South Carolina before a Pro Bowl NFL career.

There’s still a chance his little brother Steven can continue the family tradition in Columbia.

The Gamecocks made Steven Gilmore’s final four school along with UNC, Georgia and Louisville. The three-star South Pointe cornerback released that ahead of a projected Sept. 17 commitment date.

Gilmore is the No. 19-ranked player in South Carolina for the 2018 class. The 5-foot-9, 152-pounder is one of six uncommitted players in the top 21.

Stephon Gilmore was a top-10 pick by the Buffalo Bills. He made the 2016 Pro Bowl before signing a five-year, $65 million contract with the New England Patriots.
