Georgia OL Prospect Chooses Gamecocks

The Gamecocks secured their 16th verbal football commitment Saturday evening when offensive lineman J.P. Vonashek pledged to USC coaches after making an unofficial visit to the Midlands this afternoon. After receiving a South Carolina offer eleven days ago, the Kingsland, GA native selected the Gamecocks over multiple offers from Auburn, FSU, Georgia, Miami, Michigan State, Ole Miss, UNC, Ohio State, and Tennessee among others. The Camden County High School product is the fifth Peach state product to verbally commit to the University of South Carolina for the 2013 recruiting cycle. Vonashek was recruited to USC by Runningbacks Coach Everette Sands with help from USC Offensive Line Coach/Run Game Coordinator Shawn Elliott. The 6'7" 275 pounder is the third offensive line commitment for the Gamecocks joining the duo, D.J. Park & Bryce King, from Dillon, SC. Vonashek is a three-star prospect according to 247sports.
