The South Carolina Gamecocks have a quarterback in place for the 2018 season in Jake Bentley, but they may have landed their quarterback of the future on Wednesday afternoon.
That’s because 4-star QB Ryan Hilinski announced his commitment to the program, choosing the Gamecocks over Georgia, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, Ole Miss and other big-time schools.
Hilinski announced his decision via Twitter, as you can see in the post below:
Big Ty! The time has come. Thank you for everything yesterday… I’m bringing you and the family with me!
110% Committing to South Carolina!
