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): Bryan McClendon

Offers: Tennessee, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, Tulane

Scouting Report: A great athlete who played quarterback during his senior year but projects as a wide receiver at South Carolina, Legette was a late addition to South Carolina's class during the early signing period. At 6-foot-3, 193-pounds, Legette brings great size to the position and head coach Will Muschamp loves the testing numbers that Legette put down in Carolina's summer camp, comparing them to NFL Combine numbers. As a senior, Legette rushed for 1,826 yards with 19 touchdowns while passing for 887 yards and 14 scores.

Will Muschamp on Legette: "He's a guy that had combine-like numbers for a receiver in our camp. We watched him progress in his senior year as a quarterback. He's really special with the ball in his hands. We got to watch him play basketball as a guy that played the entire game above the rim. He's an explosive athlete and a guy we're really excited about."

Why South Carolina? "I feel like it's the best fit for me. It's a great environment and I love the atmosphere there."
