Justin Stepp made a strategic move in securing Ahmari for the Gamecocks, especially with the recent departure of Jayden McGowan and his commitment to BC. Justin had previously recruited Ahmari out of high school during his time at Arkansas, making him a top priority. Notably, Ahmari was part of the trio, along with J.J. Jones and Joshua Burrell, considered the top three receivers in South Carolina's 2021 class. Justin tried to get all 3 of them to Arkansas along with Virginia Tech. at the time the Gamecocks had only offered J.J

Now, after three years, Ahmari gets the chance to represent his home state under the coaching of Shane Beamer and Justin Stepp. This opportunity is significant for both him and the Gamecocks, addressing the need for additional talent in the wide receiver room. It's a key acquisition that aligns with the team's goals and adds depth to their offensive lineup.
