Gamecock Recruiting for the future

Here is an article on Maxprep.com that has a list of its high school sophomore All American’s. There are a couple kids in USC back yard that might turn out to be gamecocks down the road.


QB Justin Worley Northwestern (Rock Hill, S.C.), 6-3, 179

MaxPreps’ National Sophomore of the Year, Worley was flat out dominant. His 50 touchdown passes is three short of the state record set by former Byrnes quarterback Willy Korn. His 3,641 passing yards is a school record.

QB Everett Golson Myrtle Beach (S.C.), 6-0, 167

Ironically, Worley’s stiffest competition for National Sophomore of the Year came from only 200 miles away. Golson, already a highly coveted prospect, finished second in the state in yards (3,587), completions (238), and touchdowns (44) – all behind Worley.


OL Brandon Shell, West Ashley (S.C.), 6-8, 280

Nephew of Hall of Famer Art Shell, Brandon is similarly endowed with talent. He excels at both football and basketball, and may look to play both in college.


WR Charon Peake, Dorman (Roebuck, S.C.), 6-3, 185

Peake was one of the first players in his class to receive scholarship offers. The gifted athlete is dangerous each time he touches the ball. Expect him to explode as a junior as Dorman should shift to a more pass friendly offense.


DL Jadaveon Clowney, South Pointe (Rock Hill, S.C.), 6-5, 220

A key defensive ingredient to South Pointe’s undefeated run, Clowney is already hearing from local schools, and could be a national recruit as an upperclassman. A 4-AAAA all-region selection, Clowney had six sacks and forced four fumbles to complement his 65 tackles.
