SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL RECRUITING

Huntersville (N.C.) North Mecklenburg class of 2020 athlete Da'Qon Stewart announced a commitment to South Carolina Saturday afternoon, fresh off a visit to the school.

"Family!" Stewart said, asked what led him to pick South Carolina. "Everything they do, everything they say, is family. It's the best fit for me, because I'm a family-oriented person and I like to be around a lot of people. I loved that about them, because that's what it felt like. It felt like that was home."

Stewart, who already had an early offer from the Gamecocks, was in Columbia Saturday for South Carolina's Spurs Up junior day event.

Stewart and the other prospects on campus were among the first to get a look at the new Cindy and Kenneth Long Family Football Operation Center.

"It's great," Stewart said. "It's second-to-none. I've never seen a facility like that. I like that because it's going to help me perfect my craft. The weight room is huge."

The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder is ranked as an athlete on Rivals, but is being recruited to South Carolina as a wide receiver.

Stewart, who also holds offers from Akron and UMass, says he talked to offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Bryan McClendon the most.

"He just told me that I'm one of the best receivers in my class," Stewart said. "He said it was going to be me and one other person and he said when he got me that he got his guy."

Stewart is the fourth commit in South Carolina's 2020 class.

Stewart is ranked the No. 28 overall prospect in North Carolina in his class.
