The spring game netted another verbal commitment for South Carolina’s 2025 recruiting class when Virginia defensive lineman Caleb Williams pledged to the Gamecocks.

The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder chose USC over offers from Virginia Tech, LSU, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, and others.

Williams is rated by the On3 Industry Ranking – a weighted average of all four major recruiting services – as a three-star prospect. He is additionally tabbed as the 10th-best prospect in the state of Virginia from the 2025 class.
