Atlanta-area OL/DT Lamarius Benson commits to South Carolina football

Will Muschamp and South Carolina picked up their second commitment for the class of 2018 today. Lamarius Benson, a product of Eastside High School in Covington, GA (just outside of Atlanta), announced his decision to continue his college career in Columbia.

Benson, who stands at 6’2” and weighs 300 pounds, has played offensive guard but projects to be a defensive tackle at USC. His size jumps out as he can be utilized in a nose tackle-type role in Travaris Robinson’s system; while the team utilized a 4-3 last year, they could put forth a 3-4 look and use Benson as a run-stopper.
