South Carolina football recruiting: Gamecocks get commitment from Eric Douglas

The South Carolina Gamecocks grabbed their seventh commitment from the class of 2017 as Charlotte-area offensive lineman Eric Douglas pledged this morning. The 6'4", 275-pound tackle made the news official on his Twitter profile earlier today.

Douglas, who joins Jake Bentley, Summie Carlay, Dennis Daley, Stephen Guidry, Will Register and Damani Stanley as rising seniors who have committed, attends Mallard Creek High School and is ranked as a top 100 OT nationally based on 247Sports' composite rankings. He entertained offers from schools such as Cal, Clemson, Florida, Mississippi State, and West Virginia before deciding to head south of the border and take his talents to Columbia.
