South Carolina commit moves to four-star status in new On3 rankings
South Carolina cornerback commitment Peyton Dyer is officially in the Blue Chip club after moving up to four-star status in On3’s update to its class of 2026 rankings on Monday.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder who committed to South Carolina last October has seen his recruiting stock soar since then, most recently impressing at the Under Armour camp in Atlanta, traditionally one of the most talent-rich camps in the country.

Dyer, who was previously ranked the No. 25 cornerback in the country, is now the No. 20 CB and No. 189 overall prospect in his class. He has a rating of 90.
The Gamecocks will have to work hard to hold on to the Atlanta (Ga.) Duluth talent. The former three-star has set official visits to Georgia and Southern Cal to go along with his OV to Columbia.
Dyer is one of three South Carolina commitments in the On300.
Rock Hill (S.C.) South Pointe four-star safety J’Zavien Currence maintained his rating of 91 and slid back slightly in the overall rankings to 111, likely mostly due to new prospects entering the top 100 ahead of him (rather than him truly moving down). Currence is the No. 10 safety in his class and No. 3 prospect in the state of South Carolina.

Newberry (S.C.) tight end Jamel Howse remains in the On300. The four-star prospect has a rating of 90 and is the No. 188 overall prospect and No. 11 TE in his class.
As a reminder, these On3 rankings are put together by the company’s in-house evaluators and are different from the On3 Industry Ranking, which is a weighted average of the four major recruiting media sites.
The update comes more than five months after the last in mid-October and saw some of the biggest changes in the entire recruiting cycle.
On3’s Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power offered insight on what went into the latest update:
Since putting the 2025 cycle to bed last month, we’ve begun to dive into the junior seasons of 2026 prospects. In addition to parsing full film and production from the preexisting group, hundreds of prospects have emerged on FBS radars since the last 2026 On300 update in October. We also saw dozens of 2026 prospects in national all-star games in January — a new development. Movement in this update may seem more volatile than later in the cycle. Much of that is due to the rapid expansion of the prospect pool with the emergence of so many more prospects. There are 56 new entrants into the On300 with this update.
