South Carolina signee of the day: William Rogers

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL RECRUITING

With South Carolina's 2019 recruiting class completely signed and locked up, Gamecock Central will spotlight one prospect for the next 23 days.

South Carolina recruiter(s): Eric Wolford

Offers: Boston College, Cincinnati, Illinois, Missouri, West Virginia

Scouting Report- Rogers opted to prolong his process, and perhaps the potential of being a late addition to the Gamecocks' 2019 class was a primary reason. He does not carry the star ranking, offer list, or hype of other targets, but is someone Wolford had in camp last summer and liked. Rogers played both ways on the defensive line and offensive line at Lovejoy and excelled at both. He reminds some of current Gamecock Sadarius Hutcherson and is likely to plug in as an interior guard.

Will Muschamp on Rogers: "He’s a guy that came to our camp, worked out in our camp. We targeted him early. He was a 300-plus pounder, verticaled at over 28 inches, which not many offensive linemen are doing that at the NFL combine. He can bend in his lower body, plays with power and will be an interior offensive lineman for us. He played some defensive line at Lovejoy but will be an interior offensive lineman for us."

Why South Carolina? "I felt like it was the best fit, definitely a good school and program. It's close to home so my family can see my games and I know I'll get a good education at South Carolina."
