Another major Gamecocks target is set to make his collegiate commitment on Friday, August 2. Juan Gaston, four star OT from Atlanta, Georgia, will decide between South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Oregon.

The 6-foot-8 340 pound Gaston is a force on the field and the basketball court. He plays left tackle for the West Lake Lions in Georgia's highest classification, where he has locked down the quarterback's blind side since his sophomore year.

The talented upcoming senior is a mauler in the run game. He moves well, which is shown in pulls on the run and on the basketball court. As a center for the Lions basketball squad, Gaston helped lead his team to the second round of Georgia's 7A playoffs in 2022.

Gaston would be the second offensive tackle commit in the 2025 class for Lonnie Teasley and the Gamecocks. Fellow four star Shedrick Sarratt Jr. committed to South Carolina on June 14.
