The 6-foot-3, 187-pound Rose also marks the first South Carolina commitment for new secondary coach Torrian Gray, who landed on the Gamecocks' staff last month and was known for his recruiting prowess at both Virginia Tech and Florida.

Rose also held Power 5 offers from Arizona, Indiana, LSU, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh, Texas A&M and Tennessee.

Gray has also offered several other prospects in Hallandale's defensive backfield.
