4-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan sets commitment date

Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood four-star quarterback Dylan Lonergan has locked in a decision date for his college commitment.

Lonergan, the No. 86 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus, will announce where he is going to school on July 5, he told On3’s Jeremy Johnson. He spent this weekend in Columbia visiting South Carolina. He has one more summer official visit to Stanford planned before potentially making his decision. Those two schools are considered the main contenders to land him, despite a late push from Alabama.

 On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Gamecocks as Lonergan’s leader. According to RPM, the Gamecocks have a 63% chance of landing Lonergan.

Lonergan got to spend more time with the people at South Carolina. That includes the players, who he told Johnson were around him all weekend.

“I really got a better feel for Columbia and the people,” he added. “Just spent more time here and got to hang around the players and coaches for an extended period of time, which was nice.”

“… That’s the only thing holding them back is players, so that’s why they brought in all the guys on the visit with me.”

Scouting Summary

Here’s what On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power has to say about Lonergan:

“Talented passer who doubles as a standout on the gridiron and the baseball diamond. Highly touted baseball prospect who holds multiple Power 5 baseball offers, with the possibility of being a MLB Draft pick. Shows touch and accuracy as a passer at all levels of the field. Layers the football well, but can turn up the heat if needed on tight window throws. Productive while facing strong competition. Threw for nearly 3,400 yards and 32 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions as a junior. Mobile and creative with his legs. Ran for over 600 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior. Has a stocky build, measuring between 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-2 and around 220 pounds. Mechanics can falter when the pocket collapses. Arm talent combined with his accuracy makes him one of the safer quarterback prospects in the country despite being on the older end for his class. Father was a quarterback at Penn State in the early 1980’s and won a national championship with them in 1982.
