Gamecocks still involved as DE Mykelle McDaniel waits on test

Uncommitted 2016 defensive end Mykelle McDaniel of Loganville, Ga., continues to hear from South Carolina, Georgia and Texas A&M as he waits for his academic status to be determined according to Grayson High assistant coach Kenyatta Watson.

Watson said he talked Wednesday night with USC linebacker coach Coleman Hutzler. He said McDaniel is awaiting the result of a test he took related to his high school graduation.

Bluffton’s finest

Bluffton athlete Cameron Bent attended USC's spring game earlier this month. While there he talked with Will Muschamp along with Bryan McClendon, Pat Washington and Hutzler. He plans to camp at USC this summer. Bent said the coaches plan to see him this spring though he can't practice because he's recovering from a torn ACL. He said he will be able to run the forty.

Bent also visited Temple earlier this month and enjoyed the visit, especially the big city setting for the school. Temple is recruiting him as a receiver.

Bent said there was a time he was considering making a commitment to USC but now he wants to keep his options open. USC likes as a receiver. Georgia Tech also is recruiting him but as a quarterback. Tech has not yet offered. Bent visited Clemson in March and recruiter Tony Elliott remains in touch and is going to see him this spring. He'd like to make his decision this summer.
