Givens is the second verbal today and the fifth commitment from the class of 2016.
The South Carolina Gamecocks added a 2017 recruit to their offensive line earlier in the day. Now, as the annual Gamecock Showcase winds down in Columbia, they've added a member of the class of 2016 to their backfield.
Jaqui "JJ" Givens, a safety/ATH from Mechanicsville (Va.) Atlee, became the Gamecocks' second commitment of the day. He joins 2017 in-state TE Will Register in pledging to play at USC.
Givens is ranked by Rivals.com as the 13th best safety in the state of Virginia and the 41st ranked player at the position in the country.
