Four-Star Lineman from GA Chooses Gamecocks

    Joe Harris

    The South Carolina Gamecocks have landed their 17th commitment for the class of 2012, and it’s a good one. Four-Star, offensive lineman Joe Harris from Lithonia, Georgia gave the Gamecocks his verbal on Wednesday night at the Dekalb County Media day.

    Harris chose the Gamecocks over many offers, including Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, and NC State. He’s ranked as the 32nd best lineman in the country for the class of 2012, as well as the 16th best overall recruit in the state of Georgia. Harris marks the 17th commit for the Gamecocks, and the 7th from the state of Georgia.

    Shortly after the 6-foot-4, 300 pound Harris announced his intentions of signing with South Carolina, he told Gamecockcentral.com, “It was between South Carolina and Alabama […] It was a real hard choice.” Harris mentioned that being able to play with talented players already on the roster such as RB Marcus Lattimore and incoming freshman DE Jadeveon Clowney had an impact on his decision.

    Harris is the fifth offensive line commitment for South Carolina’s class of 2012.
