South Pointe High School has been a hot recruiting spot for South Carolina the last few years and the Gamecocks landed another player from there on Friday with a commitment from defensive back Chris Smith.
The Gamecocks offered Smith early in the process and remain his only offer from a Power 5 Conference program. His other offers include Old Dominion, Mercer, Furman, Coastal Carolina, S.C. State, Gardner-Webb, Miami of Ohio, Air Force, Eastern Michigan, James Madison and UNC Charlotte.
Smith attended USC’s pool party on Friday afternoon and that’s when he made his pledge to Steve Spurrier and company.
