South Carolina has its first linebacker for the 2019 class.

Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas three-star linebacker Jahmar Brown announced a commitment to South Carolina Thursday over finalists Miami and Stanford.

"I did a lot of praying over it for a few weeks, and I just feel like its where i need to be," Brown said. "When i went up there I felt like home. The coaching staff was really genuine and I felt like they have the best interest for me."
