Will Muschamp continues to enjoy some victories on the recruiting trail.

On Wednesday night, he got another one over a rival SEC East school as three-star defensive tackle Kobe Smith chose South Carolina over Kentucky, according to a tweet he sent out.

The “dab” dance move seems to be lasting way longer than anyone expected.

The 6-foot-4, 295-pounder out of Lawrenceville, Ga., was committed to Kentucky until he backed out of it in late December.

Smith is Muschamp’s ninth recruit since he became the school’s head coach, and he’s the Gamecocks’ 20th commitment overall.

According to 247Sports.com, Smith is the No. 45 defensive tackle for the Class of 2016.
