Cam Smith has more than just playing football on his mind when he heads down to San Antonio for All-American Bowl in January.
The Westwood standout and South Carolina commit will use it as a last chance to persuade Chris Steele to join him in Columbia and play for the Gamecocks. The St. John Bosco (Calif.) defensive back will make his college choice known Jan. 5, the day of the game, in front of a national TV audience.
Steele won’t be alone in his persuasion. Fellow USC commit Ryan Hilinski is playing in the game and will be pitching the Gamecocks to Steele.
