Nicolai Brooks Includes South Carolina In His Top 10

South Carolina Football target Nicolai Brooks has narrowed his schools of choice to ten schools, and included the Gamecocks.

Multiple 2024 recruits have begun trimming their lists of contenders after taking many Spring visits. A big offensive tackle and four-star prospect out of Buford, GA, Nicolai Brooks, is the latest to join that group, as he's narrowed his list to ten schools. The six-foot-eight, 345-pound rising sophomore is currently ranked the twelfth-best OT in the nation per Rivals.

In an interview in 11 Alive's "Born To Compete," Brooks stated that he loves to run block more than pass block. Running the football at an effective clip and dominating the line of scrimmage has been a recent focus for the Gamecock coaching staff since they possessed the worst mark regarding yards-per-carry in the SEC last Fall. Kudos to Lonnie Teasley and Greg Adkins, who have been the maestros to gaining momentum in recruiting and gaining interest from top o-linemen.

Recently hosting five-star David Sanders on an unofficial visit last week is just another reflection of the Gamecocks trending in the right direction. In Brooks's Sophomore season, the St. Francis Knights rushed for 2,318 yards, 753 yards above the national average.

As a Gamecock fan, it has to be refreshing to see big-time recruits hold stock in a South Carolina team that finished third in the rugged SEC East.
