Gamecock football has landed another piece of its 2023 recruiting class with the addition of three-star Georgia athlete Vicari Swain.

The Peach State product announced his commitment to South Carolina during a Friday afternoon ceremony. Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt made up his top six prior to his decision.

The 6-foot-1, 163-pounder visited Gamecock football back in January — his second overall trip to campus — then followed that up with an official visit to Columbia in the month of June. Vanderbilt and Maryland also landed official visits in June, and Mississippi State scored a visit late in July.

Swain is ranked as a three-star prospect by the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. The rankings list Swain as the number 756 overall player in the country, number 41 athlete in the nation and the 73rd-best prospect from the state of Georgia.

The Peach State product has in the past cited his relationship with Gamecock football secondary coach Torrian Gray as a significant reason for his interest in the South Carolina program.

“He keeps up with me like every day,” Swain told GamecockCentral.com in March of this year. “He’s very nice to me. He always calls me. He treats me like I’m one of the top (priorities) the two times that I’ve been there.”

Listed as an athlete, Swain appears to be on South Carolina’s board as a defensive back but is capable of also playing wide receiver at the college level.

Swain is the 17th commitment in the Gamecocks’ 2023 class, which currently ranks No. 21 in the 2023 Consensus Football Team Recruiting Rankings.
