Coming off a disappointing 4-8 season, South Carolina football and coach Will Muschamp needed momentum and some excitement to give fans heading into the long offseason. The Gamecocks got it Wednesday, as the No. 5 recruit in the country, local defensive lineman Jordan Burch, announced his commitment to USC.

Burch is considered South Carolina’s best recruit since Jadeveon Clowney, and after keeping his recruitment quiet for months, his choice of Carolina led to many declaring Will Muschamp’s program one of the biggest winners of the day.

In the latest episode of The GoGamecocks Podcast, The State sports reporters Greg Hadley and Ben Breiner discuss Burch’s decision and the continuing drama surrounding his recruitment, before getting into South Carolina’s 2020 class as a whole, talking about the stars and potential sleepers of the bunch. They finish by talking about the overall state of the class and what it says about Muschamp’s job security.

The GoGamecocks Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Google Play Music, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, Pandora, RadioPublic, Luminary, Pocket Casts, Podchaser, Castbox, Castro and Overcast. New episodes will continue to be released throughout basketball season and football’s offseason.
