Gamecocks Add Another Commitment at All-Star Game

The Army All-American Game was the showcase for another future Gamecock on the gridiron this afternoon in front of a national television audience on NBC. Defensive Back Jordan Diggs announced his intention to wear the Garnet & Black for the next four to five years.

Diggs chose the Gamecocks over Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Diggs is being recruited for the Spur position by G.A. Mangus. He is a Gamecock legacy as his father, Shed, played linebacker for USC in the mid-1980’s. Diggs had multiple offers from several other BCS programs like Nebraska, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, West Virginia and South Florida. Diggs is 6’2” 190 pounds and played his high school football at Island Coast High School in Cape Coral, FL. Diggs is a four-star prospect by 247sports and is the 28th ranked prospect in the state of Florida. Diggs has already taken all five of his official visits.

Diggs becomes the 23rd known verbal commitment for South Carolina’s 2012 recruiting class.

Go Gamecocks!
