Why South Carolina? “South Carolina has pushed so strong, that I couldn’t look back. I told coach Beamer that when those schools offered that I was locked in where I’m going. We talk once a week or so, he’s very high energy and passionate about what he’s doing. He’s going to make sure you get the little and the big things. We both want to grind and grind. Our philosophies are pretty much the same thing. We want to work and work until it’s perfect. Our goal is to bring a championship back to Columbia. The women’s basketball team did what they did but we want to bring one for football.”
Scouting report from On3: Big-framed, long guard with the potential to develop into a people-mover at the college level. Measured around 6-foot-3.5, 312 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length with a big frame, checking in with a wing-span over 6-foot-10 and a 10.5-inch hand. Has a strong base and carries much of his weight in his lower half. Has adequate functional athleticism and is a fluid mover. Dangerous as a puller when working to the second level. Has the natural strength to quickly neutralize smaller defensive linemen. Length is on the high end for an interior offensive lineman. Can continue to improve his hand placement and ability to sustain blocks.

About GamecockCentral.com

But that hasn’t always been the case.
Here’s a message from Gamecock Central founder Brian Shoemaker:
Crazy Start
Gamecock Central was started as a hobby.
It immediately turned into an all-encompassing passion.
In late 1999, it became my full-time job.
Today, I remain the owner.
Pretty good for a guy who failed his first computer class at USC.
My family and I are extremely fortunate. My wife prefers to say we’re blessed.

Passion
The reason we exist separates us from other media outlets.
I had no thoughts of the site becoming a business.
The first attempt at generating revenue didn’t occur until 10 months after launch when ads were added.
Gamecock Central’s foundation — our roots, our basic DNA — will always be different than other sites.
Certainly, we have a bottom line, but there’s a bigger picture.
Professional Coverage
Of course, passion alone isn’t enough to satisfy our subscribers.
We have a tremendous team of insiders, analysts, and photographers.
They provide the most in-depth, accurate, and professional coverage of Gamecock sports and recruiting.
And we have The Insiders Forum. It’s where the most hardcore fans hang out and discuss the Gamecocks.
Some are positive, some are “realistic” and some probably yell too much, but they all love Carolina.
