South Carolina Gamecocks Football Recruiting: Atlanta-area 2016 DE Cecil Stallings commits

Gamecocks get two in one week--making seven among the crop of '16s.

Days after Charlotte-area OL Will Putnam pledged to the South Carolina Gamecocks, the team picked up a second verbal this week—this time on the other side of the ball.

It's Atlanta (Ga.) Chamblee DE Cecil Stallings, who gave his word to the staff this afternoon. Stallings, a three-star recruit on Rivals, had Georgia Tech, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Wisconsin among his eleven offers, but elected to take his talents to Columbia next year.

Stallings' commitment makes him the seventh member of the high school class of 2016 to commit.
