Clifton Geathers makes his commitment to the Gamecocks known publicly
DE Cliff Geathers (6-8 275) of Hargrave Prep, VA and Carvers Bay confirmed Wednesday what has been known for several weeks....he will enroll at USC for the spring semester. "Everything is behind me and it feels great," he said. "South Carolina is a rising team. South Carolina probably has a better chance to win the SEC than Georgia (to whom he committed out of high school). I was lifting weights one day and thinking about it, and something just told me to go to South Carolina." Geathers could play defensive end, defensive tackle or offensive tackle with the Gamecocks. "I've got a great chance to play te position I want to play, defensive end," he said. "I like the way the way they play their defensive ends. I also have a good chance to play defensive tackle." Geathers said he gave the Gamecocks his commitment while making an unofficial visit for their first bowl practice. He said he might room with his former Hargrave teammate Ladi Ajiboye at USC.
Blake's notes: Geathers was a 5 star athlete coming out of high school (2006 class), but being placed in a prep school dropped him to 4 stars. He committed to UGA after signing day last year despite heavy pursuit by Carolina and Clemson. He could play at any position on the O-line or D-line in college. Glad this kid is a Gamecock! This Gamecock class is unbelievable!!
