Blake Franks's High School Coach Reveals His Commitment Date

Greenville High School head coach Greg Porter tells SportsTalk South Carolina offensive guard target Blake Franks will announce his college decision on February 20.

South Carolina has had an excellent start to the 2024 recruiting class. They landed four four-star commits since the end of the regular season, and another top target will come off the board in less than a week. 

Offensive guard Blake Franks is a major target for the coaching staff. Franks attends Greenville High School, just ninety minutes from Williams-Brice Stadium. He is one of the state's top players, and would join in-state commits Kam Pringle and Mazeo Bennett in the class if he committed. Greenville head coach Greg Porter confirmed we won't have to wait long to wonder; Franks has made his decision and will announce on February 20. The three finalists are South Carolina, Clemson, and Auburn.

Carolina has been trending for Franks for a couple weeks now. Before that, he was a heavy Clemson lean, with many thinking he was a lock. However, the Gamecocks worked on Franks very hard and had help from Pringle.

Pringle is the No. 1 tackle in the nation and had a decision similar to Franks': weighing between two in-state schools and a fellow SEC team. If Franks picks South Carolina, he will move inside to play guard but will remain at right tackle if he picks in-state rivals Clemson or Auburn as well.
