Alabama tight end Kamron Sandlin commits to Gamecocks
Anniston (Ala.) athlete Kamron Sandlin said he was nearly brought to tears when he learned what he called shocking news of a South Carolina football offer last month.
Now he’ll be a part of the program.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder, who plays quarterback in high school but will play tight end for the Gamecocks, announced his pledge to Carolina today.
Sandlin chooses the Gamecocks over Power 5 offers from Mississippi State and Kentucky.
Sandlin, who was in Columbia for the last two days, was recruited to Carolina by tight ends coach Jody Wright.
The big-bodied playmaker has not yet received a ranking on On3 but is ranked a three-star quarterback on Rivals.com.
Sandlin’s commitment to South Carolina comes as the Gamecocks are on a whirlwind recruiting tear this month.
