This is a huge addition for South Carolina. Cyrus is the No. 250 overall player and the No. 32 wide receiver in the country for the class of 2025. He’s also the No. 9 player from the state of Pennsylvania.
Cyrus made this decision after taking an official visit to South Carolina last month. He also made a trip to Happy Valley earlier this year. His list of offers also include programs such as Oregon, Notre Dame and Kentucky, amongst others.
Cyrus is now the highest-ranked prospect in South Carolina’s 2025 recruiting class. The Gamecocks are continuing to make progress in this cycle, and now have commitments from 5 4-star recruits in this class.
Overall, South Carolina’s class is now ranked 28th nationally per 247Sports Composite rankings. Prior to this commitment, South Carolina was ranked 35th nationally.
Here are some highlights from Cyrus’ high school career:
