Gamecocks Target Top NC Edge Rusher | South Carolina Gamecocks Football News

South Carolina is making a bold move to land five-star defensive end Cassell Cruickshank, the No. 2 edge rusher and top NC prospect in the 2028 class, with his massive 6’6”, 230-pound frame drawing national attention. Already offered first by the Gamecocks in January, he’s now receiving offers from Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia and more — including a Florida visit scheduled for Nov. 7. With 16 tackles and 3 sacks as a freshman, Cruickshank’s talent is undeniable. South Carolina hopes their strong North Carolina recruiting pipeline and upcoming marquee home games against Mississippi State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Georgia will seal the deal — even as elite competition heats up for his signature.
