N.C. DB Hamsah Nasirildeen makes return trip to see Gamecocks

Defensive back Hamsah Nasirildeen of Concord, N.C., was at South Carolina for a junior day in February and Monday, he was back with a couple of teammates for a closer look.

USC is one of his offers along with Clemson, East Carolina, Maryland, Temple, Charlotte, Georgia Southern, Tennessee and Ole Miss.

"I got a complete tour of campus," Nasirildeen said. "I got to see how they prepare for practice and got to talk to coach (Muschamp) about his plans for me here. He said he needs me and I'm one of his priorities."

Nasirildeen (6-foot-4, 205 pounds) also visited Alabama and N.C. State this month and doesn't have any other visits planned at this point. He does plan to get in touch with Clemson soon to set up a visit there.

Nasirildeen said he doesn't have any favorites because he's still trying to visit other schools but Monday's visit kept USC high up on his list.

"I like South Carolina, that's why I came back." He said.

He does not have a timetable on a decision. He made 85 tackles as a junior with five interceptions and a pair of forced fumbles.
