The South Carolina Gamecock recruiting train keeps on moving, and it's picking up some elite athletes along the way. The newest recruit to give South Carolina his verbal is 4-Star offensive lineman Cody Waldrop. This 6'4, 315lb offensive lineman from Seffner, Florida is ranked by Rivals as the tenth best guard in the class of 2012. Waldrop received north of 20 offers, but narrowed his search down to Georgia and South Carolina over the past few weeks. Among his other offers were Florida State, LSU, Missouri, UNC, NC State, and Tennessee.
Waldrop is just another piece to what looks to be the offensive line of the future for Carolina, and a good one at that. Highly touted OL recruits Kaleb Broome and Brandon Shell signed with USC this past recruiting year, and Waldrop adds his verbal to fellow 4-star offensive tackle Brock Stadnik's for the class of 2012. The offensive line, which has been a question mark in the recent past for USC, looks as if it could be strengthening over the next few years.
Waldrop's highlight tapes make him look like a man among boys. Despite having such a huge frame, he seems to move very agilely. He shows quick lateral movement on pulls but looks even stronger in one-on-one pass protection. He looks like a perfect fit to a Spurrier offense.
Check out his highlight tape below (and remember, he still has his senior season yet to play).
