Devante Covington, a former South Carolina signee at defensive end in 2013, has been added to the Gamecocks’ 2015 commitment list, first reported by GamecockCentral.com.

Covington was a four-star signee two years ago out of Rockingham, N.C., but spent last season at Georgia Military College after failing to qualify academically. He is expected to sign with the Gamecocks in February and should be ready to enroll for the fall semester.

As a senior at Richmond Senior High in 2012, Covington earned a Shrine Bowl invite after finishing second on the team with 109 tackles and led the Raiders with 16 tackles for loss.

Covington has three years to play two at South Carolina.
