South Carolina Loses DB Commit in 2026 Class, Peyton Dyer

The South Carolina Gamecocks have lost the commitment of 4-Star DB, Peyton Dyer.

Four-star defensive back prospect, Peyton Dyer was one of the six South Carolina commits in the class of 2026 as of Tuesday, April 8th. However, that commitment is no more as the Duluth, Georgia prospect announces that he is de-committing from the Gamecocks.

The 6-foot and 190 pound corner out of Duluth High School originally committed to the Gamecocks back in November 2024. As a junior, Dyer made 18 tackles and logged two interceptions. He is a top 50 defensive back prospect in the country and top 35 overall prospect in the state of Georgia.

South Carolina is in the midst of spring practice, with their annual scrimmage set for April 18th. This de-commitment from Dyer comes just one day after the in-state Georgia Bulldogs lost a defensive back commit in the form of Jontavious Wyman to the Miami Hurricanes.

Dyer has official visits scheduled for Georgia, South Carolina, and USC this summer ahead of his Senior season at Duluth. The Gamecocks aren't out of the race just yet, but they may have to pivot before signing day.
