Deja Vu for Brandon Golson and USC

According to Phil Kornblut of the South Carolina Radio News Network, Georgia Military College Linebacker Brandon Golson (6'2", 230 pounds) has pledged to USC once, twice now three times and hopefully for Golson's sake the third time is the charm for the former Calhoun County star. Golson originally committed to South Carolina back in 2010 but USC's Admissions Office denied Golson admittance into Carolina so the former Calhoun County High School football star decided to go to Fork Union Prep School in Virginia. He then committed to Carolina in January 2011 but was denied admission a second time. Golson then attended Louisville University where he briefly started classes until it was determined he was a non-qualifier at the Big East institution which forced Golson to leave Louisville. Golson's path led him to Milledgeville, GA in 2012, and he enrolled at Georgia Military College where last season Golson compiled 24 tackles and five sacks. Brandon Golson becomes the 15th verbal commitment for the 2013 USC football recruiting class and the 12th member on the defensive side of the football. He is the third linebacker prospect to commit to the Gamecocks and the second linebacker prospect to verbal to South Carolina in less than a week (Virginia LB Matt Rolin committed last Friday). Golson is a three-star prospect per 247sports and was recruited to USC by Gamecocks Special Teams Coach Joe Robinson. Golson is projected to be a December graduate at GMC which would allow him to enroll at USC in January 2013. Golson will have two years to play three at South Carolina. Go Gamecocks!
