Finally! 5-star DL Jordan Burch is officially a South Carolina signee
Will Muschamp and South Carolina fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Five-star defensive lineman Jordan Burch has officially signed with the South Carolina Gamecocks, as the team released the news Thursday night. Burch had been committed to South Carolina since December 18, but he didn’t sign during the Early Signing Period. Instead, he took a visit to LSU and to the Gamecocks.
During Wednesday’s National Signing Day, Burch put all the rumors to bed by sticking with his South Carolina commitment; however, the school never received his National Letter of Intent. Thankfully for South Carolina, that speculation ended Thursday night.

The 6-foot-5, 275-pound lineman is ranked as the nation’s No. 8 overall prospect, the No. 2 overall defensive tackle and the state of South Carolina’s top overall prospect for the class of 2020, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Burch elected to sign with South Carolina over LSU and Clemson.

Congrats Carolina. He’ll be a standout on three losing teams, then he’ll be a top ten draft pick.
Love the hubris, cant hate on it, the smack talk is yours for the next year you guys won the natty. That being said it will be very interesting to see how it goes next season without the prodigal son Burrow.
I am fully confident our “drop off” is going 10-2 as a worst case scenario.
10-2 worst case scenario? You guys play Texas, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, and A&M. You guys lost a lot of key players and coaches from 2019. I think 9-3 is a much more reasonable prediction for LSU.
Certainly look forward to erasing that smugness this year! Enjoy your decline.
See whats funny about what people perceive our decline, versus a team perceives your’s.
From the 2000 season through this season, your overall W/L record is 146-105. Ours is 202-59. Plus to add salt to the wound, you have that record in the SECe!
Didnt the east go 7-7 against the west?
8-7.
Thanks for the congrats. LSU will be a winning team but they’ll fall behind Bama again and won’t make the playoffs.
Sour grapes from some but congrats to SC.
Actually, I like LSU as my favorite team in the west. But I’m glad Burch signed with us. I think bayou tiger made a good prognostication and I think I did too. No sour grapes here.
I actually think USCe is an awesome school. I think 5 points is one of the best bar scenes around plus theres a tonnn of beautiful women there. I could see why people go there!
Not a fan of Muschamp but glad to see USC get this recruit since I went to college down there. I cheer for the cocks anytime they aren’t playing my beloved Wildcats.
Bill, not a fan of Muschamp either but I’m glad to see Burch on our team. Forever to thee. Thanks for the comment.
Let’s gooooooooo
A sort of bizarre recruitment is over and a very good victory for Muschamp. I still have nightmares about Javon Kinlaw.
I’m sure it’s a big relief, and congrats. But as far as the elephant in the room, no mention for the reasoning this kid made them sweat it out like that and not just send his LOI in on signing day like everyone else?
Good for Carolina. He’ll be a great player for them in the coming years.
Congrats to South Carolina on signing Burch.
Looked very fast – might have to play him at TE!
Some classy congratulations on signing a great player who should help us to regain some respect and the usual jerks that have an orgasm by trying to degrade another program! LSU had a great season and I pulled for them. We’re headed to LA for Mardi Gras in a few weeks to see some of our LSU friends. Most people in LA are nice and friendly and no where near the JERK level of the “bayou tiger”
