2027 four-star quarterback Jayce Johnson out of Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Ga., took home MVP honors at the Rivals Camp Series stop in Atlanta, Georgia. With more than 21 offers already on the table, Johnson continues to rise in the national conversation and will now get the opportunity to compete for his fifth star at the Rivals Five-Star event in Indianapolis.

South Carolina has been firmly in the mix for Johnson, who made the trip to Columbia on April 18 for the Gamecocks’ spring game. There, he got an up-close look at the quarterback room — including LaNorris Sellers, Air Noland, and Cutter Woods. One day later, on April 19, Johnson received an offer from the Gamecocks, who made a strong impression on the 6-foot-4, 205-pound signal-caller.

As a sophomore, Johnson threw for 1,799 yards with a 67% completion rate, adding 16 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions. He also recently had a standout showing at the Elite 11 Tampa Regional, continuing to prove himself as one of the most promising young quarterbacks in the 2027 class.
