Three-peat: South Carolina lands 2024 four-star cornerback, third commitment of day
The DMV-to-Columbia pipeline is alive and well.
South Carolina nabbed its third commitment of the day on Wednesday when 2024 four-star cornerback Braydon Lee announced his commitment to the Gamecocks. He chose USC over a group of finalists that included Georgia, Alabama, Maryland, Tennessee, UNC, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Penn State.
“South Carolina, we on,” Lee said during his announcement on Instagram.
Ranked the No. 229 player and No. 18 cornerback this cycle by the 247Sports Composite, Lee is the sixth prospect with roots in D.C., Maryland or Virginia to commit to the Gamecocks between the 2023 and 2024 classes.
The Maryland product played his high school ball at CH Flowers with 2023 four-star South Carolina Desmond Umeozulu and 2024 three-star commit Mike Williams, who pledged to USC two hours prior to Lee’s announcement.
South Carolina has now received commitments from eight players with four-star ratings in its 2024 class — including seven prospects ranked inside the top 230 nationally in the 2024 class.
The Gamecocks landed commitments from Lee, Williams and four-star in-state safety Kelvin Hunter in the last 24 hours. All three were in Columbia for the annual Garnet and Black spring game over the weekend.
