Tight end Traevon Kenion of Monroe, N.C., committed to South Carolina on Sunday.
Kenion (6-4 210) attended two USC home games last season and also visited the Friday prior to the Gamecocks' spring game.
Kenion said he has developed a good relationship with Washington, and that's a big reason why the Gamecocks rose to be his choice.
"He's a really great coach. I love Coach Washington a lot," Kenion said. "When we talk, it's really not a bunch of football. We just talk about getting to know each other better, building a better relationship with each other.
