Former USC Commitment Possibly Headed to the N.C. Triad?

Former 2011 Gamecocks signee Quincy McKinney reportedly took an official visit to Raleigh, NC this past weekend, per Phil Kornblut. Speculation is that McKinney might be calling the “919” his new home for the next four to five years. McKinney, an offensive lineman, was placed at Fork Union Prep in Virginia by South Carolina after the Georgia native failed to qualify academically to enroll at South Carolina this past August. It is reported that the USC football staff informed McKinney several weeks ago that the former Carvers High School product would not be a member of the 2012 Gamecocks recruiting class.

According to Kornblut, McKinney took the visit to NC State this past weekend and the prep school prospect will also take visits to Rutgers and Mississippi State in December. Mississippi State was a runner-up to USC, when McKinney committed to South Carolina in August of 2010.
