South Carolina’s run of in-state flips has continued as the Early Signing Period arrived.

Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks have been active recruiting the state of South Carolina — for good reason — and have another big in-state piece staying home as time winded down in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Three-star in-state tight end Mike Tyler flipped his commitment from LSU to the Gamecocks on Wednesday after months of Beamer and this coaching staff continuing to chip away at the local pass-catcher. Tyler committed out-of-state to LSU over the summer over pushes from Duke and West Virginia.

Na’eem Offord has been one of the most polarizing recruits of this 2025 cycle.

After a three-team battle over the five-star cornerback that has only amplified as the Early Signing Period drew closer, Offord has flipped his commitment from Ohio State to Oregon. The No. 20 overall player in the Rivals250 inked with the Ducks during Wednesday’s National Signing Day at Birmingham (Ala.) AW Parker High School.

It was always the SEC for Lagonza Hayward. It was just a matter of where.

The Peach State star out of Lyons (Ga.) Toombs County considered many programs on the traditional SEC East side of the coin before committing to Tennessee back in July. He backed off of the Vols to kick off the month of December and the battle between in-state Georgia and Florida ramped back up.

Hayward settled on Billy Napier and Florida during a ceremony at his school on Wednesday afternoon.

Winston Watkins told everyone who would listen his plan.

After a pair of early verbal commitments, one to Texas A&M and the other to Colorado, the Venice (Fla.) High School star was set on holding off on his next — and final — decision until it could be made official on National Signing Day.

Wednesday marked the day for the class of 2025 and Watkins followed through with the decision to commit to the Ole Miss Rebels.

Right before LaRue Zamorano committed to Michigan State this summer, he talked about his two finalists at a local 7on7 tournament.

The four-star cornerback from Corona (Calif.) Centennial was down to Michigan State and Washington and the big reason why the Spartans won out was because of his relationship with position coach Demetrice Martin, who is also a family friend.

In recent days, Martin moved from Michigan State to UCLA and Zamorano wasn’t far behind as on signing day, the four-star announced his pledge to the Bruins after backing off the Spartans only days ago.

Rivals four-star DL Christian Ingram took his decision down the wire.

After visits to South Carolina and USC over the past two weekends, the No. 30 DL in the 2025 class out of Georgia wrestled back and forth between choosing the Gamecocks and Trojans.

On National Signing Day, Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks came out with another huge recruiting victory as Ingram signed on the dotted line.

Michael Terry was one of the biggest dominoes still on the board in this 2025 recruiting class as the Early Signing Period approached.

Terry, the No. 89 overall player in the Rivals250 out of San Antonio (Texas) Alamo Heights High School, committed to Texas. Oregon and Nebraska finished behind the in-state Longhorns for the 6-foot-3, 215-pound multi-dimensional offensive playmaker from down I-35.
