South Carolina, Clemson await word from Whale Branch defensive lineman Nyles Pinckney

South Carolina and Clemson won’t have to wait much longer to find out where Whale Branch defensive lineman Nyles Pinckney will play college football.

Pinckney said he will make a silent commitment very soon, but won’t publicize his decision until Friday afternoon at his school. He still has USC, Clemson, Georgia and Georgia Tech on his list.

Pinckney remains in touch with his recruiters from all four schools. He said he won’t take any more visits before his decision and will only visit the school he commits to moving forward.

“The first thing my mom always tells me is to pray about it,” said Pinckney, who is 6-3, 290 pounds.
