Buford (Ga.) High linebacker AJ Holloway announced his commitment to South Carolina on Friday.

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Holloway chose the Gamecocks over Louisville, North Carolina, Kansas and a slew of others.

“I just feel like South Carolina is the perfect fit for me and my family,” Holloway said.

Holloway becomes commit No. 11 for head coach Shane Beamer and his staff in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

“What excites me most about the South Carolina Gamecocks program is their strong tradition of developing players and the electric atmosphere in Willams-Bryce Stadium,” Holloway said. 

Holloway took his official visit to Columbia this past weekend.

“I have personally seen the dedication and work that goes into being a football player at South Carolina and I can see myself thriving there,” he said.

The On3 Industry tabs Holloway as the nation’s No. 91 linebacker while On3 slots him at No. 81. He is the second linebacker to join the fold alongside Jaquel Holman.

“I just feel like South Carolina offers the best opportunity to achieve my dreams of being in the NFL,” Holloway said.
