SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL RECRUITING

South Carolina recruiter: Pat Washington

Scouting Report: GamecockCentral.com saw Kenion during a session of USC's camp over the summer and he was very impressive. He was bigger than anticipated, certainly much more filled out than his listed 212 pounds. Kenion really stood out in the one-on-one portion of the day; he moved around very well for his size, consistently got open whether on short routes or even on vertical routes, and showed good hands. There were several instances in which Kenion snatched the ball away from defenders in 50/50 situations. He has a background on defense as well, so he's a guy who could be physical in terms of blocking along the line of scrimmage in space, but Kenion is especially intriguing as a pass-catching option.

Head coach Will Muschamp on Kenion: "His mom got a job up there in the Wake Forest, Raleigh area and he moved up there and won a state championship this past year. A tight end we think is really gifted in the throwing game. Really added some things to their high school football team. When he came to camp, the thing I was most impressed with is his competitive edge. He really competes when he gets on the field. You see what he did this past senior year, and I’m really excited about him."

Why South Carolina? "I felt like I was ready. I was ready to make my decision, I knew where I wanted to be at and the type of environment I was looking for. South Carolina fit. Off the field, one, it's not that far from my home. Two, the coach there is real. He's an amazing coach. I can see myself playing there."
