Crootin’ Notebook: Interview with 4-star 2019 DB Jaylen McCollough; Ernest Jones to announce commitment

Late Wednesday afternoon, South Carolina joined the ever-growing list of Power-5 schools to offer Powder Springs, GA prospect Jaylen McCollough. Ranked by 247 Sports as the No. 3 safety in the 2019 class, McCollough already has a group of suitors including Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Michigan and Georgia, among others.

The sophomore standout does not seem to be phased by the early attention.

“Everyone is equal as of right now,” McCollough said. “My recruiting process is still very young, so a lot can happen.”

On the football field, McCollough prides himself on his ability to contribute in every phase of the game.
