Carson Stays Home for Gamecocks | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

South Carolina’s football program is on a recruiting tear, landing top in-state talent like Nate Carson, a massive 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive lineman from Irmo High, who committed to the Gamecocks for the 2027 class. Carson joins a wave of elite recruits — including five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson and four-star safety Davion Jones — boosting their already stacked 2027 class. Ranked among the nation’s top 250 overall and a top-tier offensive tackle prospect, Carson had offers from Georgia, Clemson, and Alabama, but ultimately chose South Carolina after 15+ visits and strong relationships with head coach Shane Beamer and the O-line staff. His versatility and solid fundamentals make him a potential SEC-level tackle, and his commitment underscores the Gamecocks’ strategy to lock down top local talent.
