Chose the University of South Carolina because: “I have always loved the family atmosphere and I have known Coach Shelly and Jamie since going to youth camps over the years. My Dad is an alumni and my brother is a current student so it means a lot to be following in their footsteps. The atmosphere at Stone Stadium is unlike any other and the game day environment is unmatched.”
