Notes:
A three-year starter for the Gamecocks --- Named 1st Team All-SEC in 2010 --- Also saw action as a quarterback in "Wildcat" formations in college --- Excellent program pedigree and will attempt to follow in the footsteps of former South Carolina products such as Sheldon Brown, Andre Goodman, Dunta Robinson, Johnathan Joseph, Fred Bennett, Captain Munnerlyn and Chris Culliver --- Is arguably as physically talented as any cover guy in this class and only needs to become more consistent --- Profiles as a potential #1 cornerback at the next level.
