Hometown recruit among three new quarterback offers for South Carolina
Richland Northeast High School quarterback Will Wilson has been on South Carolina’s radar for a while. On Thursday, the Gamecocks offered the Class of 2025 signal caller.
South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains visited Wilson at RNE on Wednesday.
“It means a lot to be offered by the hometown team and also a big-time SEC school,” Wilson told The State. “Me and coach Loggains have built á relationship over his time there and after he got to see me throw Wednesday, they extended the offer soon after.
“Coach Loggains told me he likes the way the ball comes off my hands and I have the ability to shoot it wherever I want on the field.”
USC is the latest school to extend an offer to Wilson, who also has offers from North Carolina State, TCU, Virginia Tech, Duke, Penn State, Coastal Carolina, Appalachian State, James Madison and S.C. State.
Wilson told The State he plans on visits or attending camps at South Carolina on June 2, Duke on June 3, TCU on June 5, Clemson on June 9, NC State on June 17 and Alabama on June 24.

Wilson was one of three Class of 2025 quarterbacks offered by the Gamecocks on Thursday. Ryan Montgomery (Findlay, Ohio) and Deuce Knight (Lucedale, Mississippi) also announced they had picked up an offers from USC. 247Sports ranks Knight at No. 10 in Class of 2025 and Montgomery at No. 12.
The Gamecocks also have offered Irmo QB AJ Brand, but they like Brand as an athlete not at quarterback.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Wilson has been a two-year starter at quarterback for his father Walt at Richland Northeast. Will Wilson threw for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns and also rushed for 705 yards and 14 scores last season.
