Former Oklahoma football commit has Gamecocks in lead group

Defensive back Trajan Bandy of Miami, a former Oklahoma commitment, visited South Carolina on Saturday and has the Gamecocks in his lead group.

"Coach Muschamp and coach (Travaris Robinson) welcomed me there and I got the chance to be around some great players that I grew up playing football with,” Brnady said. “It was real fun, no pressure or anything. Coach T-Rob I feel like is a genuine guy. He said he needs help in the secondary. That caught my eye right there as soon as he said that I'm pretty much like this is going to have to be one of the places I have to choose from.

“They get players like me and Jamyest (Williams), we can help turn the whole program around just being able to stop other teams from throwing the ball. Earn our respect for the little guys because we're both dogs. Me and him on the same team would kind of be like unfair."

Bandy said right now he's looking at USC, Miami and Penn State. He plans to return to USC for a game this season. Bandy is not sure when he'll make a decision but he doesn't expect to make another commitment until after his season.
