The South Carolina Gamecocks got a perfect post-Halloween treat as it is being reported this morning that Brandon Shell has pledged to be a Gamecock.
This is a big add for the 2011 recruiting class, especially on the offensive line as Shell is listed as four-star offensive tackle. USC now has 5 OL commits for 2011 – 4 of 5 stand 6-6 or taller.
Shell is the nation’s No. 109 overall prospect and No. 11 offensive tackle according to 247Sports. He is the No. 3 overall prospect in the Palmetto State and is a U.S. Army All-American selection.
The 6-foot-7, 305-pounder Goose Creek native picked South Carolina over Georgia, Clemson and Alabama.
Welcome to Gamecock Nation Mr. Shell!
