Gamecocks Leap in Rankings After Blair’s Pledge

Big news, Gamecock Nation! Four-star OT Kamari Blair just picked South Carolina over the Vols and Rebels, giving Beamer’s crew a huge boost in the 2026 recruiting race. With Blair on board, USC jumped nine spots to No. 22 nationally—despite having fewer commits than anyone else in the top 50. The rivalry with Tennessee heats up, but the Gamecocks now lead in average player rating. Could this be the class that puts us over the top in the SEC? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Football #Gamecocks
