LOOK: Shane Beamer Visits Wendell Gregory's High School

South Carolina's head football coach visited the home of one of the Gamecocks' biggest defensive targets on the 2024 recruiting board.

It's getting ready to be quite the week for head coach Shane Beamer, the coaching staff, and especially the recruiting staff. They are hosting a junior day this weekend and will see three big-time targets make their college decision in the next seven days. Offensive tackle prospect Kam Pringle makes his final decision on Sunday afternoon, with tight end Michael Smith out of Savannah, Georgia, also announcing his college destination early Tuesday afternoon.

The final prospect who will make his pledge next week is linebacker Wendell Gregory out of Marietta, Georgia, a linebacker who fits the mold of what football programs look for these days at the position. The Gamecocks have had to battle multiple SEC programs to land the Peach State native and haven't let up in their pursuit, as head coach Shane Beamer went by Walton High School on Thursday afternoon, the home of Wendell Gregory.

Glad to have HC @CoachSBeamer @GamecockFB on campus w/ @coachdbrunner + @WaltonRecruits! #BallDownBallOut #SpursUphttps://t.co/fLKwtM11Y2 pic.twitter.com/nxltwQQcuj

There's good reason for Beamer to make the trip down to Walton High School besides the fact that Wendell Gregory plays there. The Raiders are churning out P5 talent, including Gregory's teammate in Ashton Woods, a linebacker prospect that's received an abundance of interest from major college programs. 

The decision is likely to come down to either South Carolina or Tennessee, the two football programs that have received the latest unofficial visits from the 2024 national-level prospect.
