Huntley, who has taken multiple visits to South Carolina during his recruiting process, was most recently at the school last month for a junior day event.
"Carolina was really good," he told Gamecock Central." We got to see the new facility which is really cool, that was a really nice place. That was the main thing; see the facility, talk to coaches."
Huntley, who also has visited Georgia multiple times, also hopes to see Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas, among others, this spring.
Myrtle Beach (S.C.) four-star quarterback Luke Doty is the lone South Carolina commit currently in the Rivals250, though the Gamecocks have several top targets among the list, including both Burch and Huntley.
Doty is ranked the No. 191 prospect in the class and the No. 3 dual-threat quarterback.
