South Carolina landed Tanner McEvoy yesterday and here are some highlighted things he had to say about USC –
Tanner McEvoy, Bergen Catholic QB on his commitment to University of South Carolina – exclusive interview with Jared Greenberg, co-host of MSG Varsity’s (iO TV Channel 14) signature daily sports show High School SportsDesk.
McEvoy called in live this evening (Thursday, January 20) at 6PM to speak to Greenberg about his decision to play for University of South Carolina and Coach Steve Spurrier.
McEvoy on Coach Spurrier:
“Coach Spurrier is great – he’s a legend – “The Old Ball Coach”. I’m really looking forward to playing for him and him coaching me.
“I called him last night and talked to him last night. He sounded really excited and talked to my parents. He spent a lot of time on my official when I went down. I’m actually flying down Saturday morning, coming back Sunday, so I’ll spend the weekend down there.”
McEvoy on the importance of playing QB in college (he is Bergen’s lead receiver, and just transitioned to QB his senior year):
“Towards the end, all the schools that I stuck with were pro quarterback. South Carolina was really one of the first schools to offer me as quarterback so I felt confident with them. I know they’ll do a great job with me and get to learn the position more and more. I have a lot to learn as I only played (QB) for a year and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Thanks to Seth and MSG Varsity’s High School Sportsdesk for providing this Gamecocks blog with those quotes. As you can tell Tanner is excited and us the Gamecock faithful should be excited. The Class of 2011 is shaping up to be solid.
