Wide receiver Kelvin Harmon of Palmyra, N.J., camped at South Carolina last Friday, and Wednesday night he included the Gamecocks in his top six.

The other five are North Carolina, Temple, Rutgers, West Virginia and NC State.

“I had connections with the coaches and I really liked the programs,” Hamon said of his six favorites. He plans to take official visits before making a decision and USC will receive one.

Harmon talked with his Gamecocks recruiter GA Mangus on Wednesday.

“He was telling me stuff about South Carolina and how I can have a future there," Harmon said. “I really liked it (at camp). Coach Spurrier Jr. is a good coach and I have a good connection with Coach Mangus. And I have a really good connection with (quarterback commitment) Brandon McIlwain.”

Harmon has also been to camps at Rutgers, North Carolina and NC State and is finished with camps. He said he might take visits to some schools not in his top six this summer but doubts the six will change.
