South Carolina football fans likely need some good news after top target Zayden Walker recently committed to SEC rival Georgia. They may have found what they’re looking for in a recent 247sports crystal ball prediction. On June 4, Tony Morrell predicted 4-star offensive lineman Jaylen Gilchrist to the Gamecocks. This prediction comes fresh off of Gilchrist’s official visit on May 31.

Gilchrist is a 6-foot-4 290-pound lineman out of Virginia Beach, Virginia. 247sports ranks Gilchrist as the number 3 overall player in Virginia and the 87th-ranked player in the country. If Shane Beamer and staff can get Gilchrist enrolled in the 2025 class, it’ll be one step closer to continued improvement from a miserable offensive line performance in 2023. Gilchrist currently does not have a commitment date set. The Gamecocks will need to continue to work in the 2025 class, seeing as though they only have 6 commits at the moment.

2025 South Carolina Commits:

Shamari Earls, 4-star CB
Caleb Williams, 4-star DL
Brian Rowe, 4-star WR
Jayden Sellers, 3-star WR
Anthony Addison, 3-star EDGE
Damarcus Leach, 3-star S
