Tuggle has been on South Carolina fans’ radar since LaNorris Sellers shared a post about the former UGA receiver on his Instagram Story.
Tuggle played high school football at South Bend (IN) NorthWood, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 127 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
