Gamecocks Add Local Tackle Ross

The Gamecocks just added a big-time local talent in James Ross, a 6’5” three-star tackle from Ridge View High who also competes in shot put and discus — and he’s already qualified for regionals. Ross chose South Carolina over Georgia Tech and North Carolina, joining Clayton Lee as the second offensive lineman committed this month. With the offensive line historically shaky, these recruits are critical for building a stronger foundation under the new coordinator. Ross’s athleticism and local roots make him a perfect fit — and with ten total commitments now and a national ranking of 67th, the class is trending upward, even after QB Luke Gaither’s decommitment to Coastal Carolina. The focus remains on depth and talent, especially up front — where the future of the offense is being built. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
