South Carolina lands its 14th commit in the 2025 class. Three star edge, Jacquavious Dodd, out of Eastside High in Taylors, South Carolina officially commits to the Gamecocks.

The 6-5 edge defender is another piece Shane Beamer and company are looking forward to employing among the front seven for years to come. Dodd finished his junior season with 48 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, and 12 sacks.
