South Carolina checks in on several top offensive line targets this week

The South Carolina coaching staff continues to hit the recruiting trail, and this week the Gamecocks stopped in on several of their top offensive line targets for the 2027 recruiting cycle.

Head coach Shane Beamer, offensive coordinator Kendal Briles, and offensive line coach Randy Clements all spent time with Woodberry Forest (Va.) four-star OT Jr. Saunders and Somerset (Ky.) Pulasky County three-star IOL Brady Hull on Wednesday.

Those stops come on the heels of Briles and Clements stopping in to see Irmo (S.C.) four-star IOL Nate Carson and Clements seeing Mount Pleasant (S.C.) Lucy Garrett OT Ty Johnson on Monday.

That isn’t necessarily a comprehensive list, but those four shared photos from the visits on social media this week.

Saunders, Hull, and Carson are all expected to take official visits to South Carolina in June.

Saunders and Hull have publicly confirmed the June 19 weekend for their visits.

Johnson is scheduled to take an unofficial visit to Columbia this weekend.

The 6-foot-4, 290-pound Carson is ranked the No. 153 overall prospect, No. 9 IOL, and No. 3 prospect in South Carolina for his class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an average of the three major recruiting media sites.

Saunders is ranked the No. 277 overall prospect and No. 24 OT in his class, while Hull is the No. 551 overall prospect and No. 45 IOL.

Johnson has not been ranked yet but has early offers from Georgia, Nebraska, and Virginia Tech, among others.

The Gamecocks will host a junior day this weekend before another dead period hits during the first week of February.
