South Carolina football’s Jaylen Nichols Dwayne McLemore dmclemore@thestate.com
Jaylen Nichols waited two years to finally join South Carolina football.
The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder was one of the earlier commits to South Carolina’s class. He was part of a strong program and a top team as a senior. And one factor that made him a Gamecock commit brought him home as a recruit.
“They’ve been very honest with me,” Nichols said. “That’s really what I like. They’ve been straightforward all the time.”
He did something unusual for an SEC offensive tackle recruit at the high school level.
