Top Gamecocks recruiting target set to announce commitment this week
Gaffney defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins apparently is finally set to make his college commitment.
After two previous false-starts on commitment dates, Ingram-Dawkins reported on Twitter that he will make his announcement this Friday. Ingram-Dawkins previously had announced commitment dates for late May and late June.
Each time he backed off an announcement.
Slightly over a month ago, Ingram-Dawkins named a final four of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. At that time, he indicated he had made his decision and was just waiting for the right date to announce.
“I’m excited, ready to see how it all plays out,” Ingram-Dawkins said then. “They (the winning school) just recruited me real hard and I felt the love.”
Ingram-Dawkins is rated a four-star prospect in the 24Sports Composite. He’s ranked 14th nationally among defensive tackles and is the No. 1 prospect in South Carolina.
