The past 24 hours has been kind to the Gamecocks as they have picked up commitments from four-star defensive lineman John Archer and three-star wide out DJ Huggins. The latter just committed on Thursday evening. For a class that was ranked 65 in the country on Wednesday afternoon, it should push the Gamecocks into the top 50 after Thursday.

Huggins is a 5-foot-10 and 165 pound wide out from Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Georgia. He held offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Boston College, Georgia, and others before ultimately choosing South Carolina. Huggins was excited on X, formerly Twitter.

This is the second big commitment of the week for the Gamecocks. John Archer, a 6-foot-4 and 315 pound defensive lineman by way of Seventy-First High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, committed to the Gamecocks on Wednesday.
