South Carolina is looking to heat up on the recruiting trail, and the Gamecocks just landed one of their marquee pieces for the 2026 recruiting class.
The latest commitment for Shane Beamer comes in the form of Landon Duckworth, an elite quarterback prospect out of Jackson (AL) High School. It’s a major win for South Carolina, especially after landing Duckworth’s commitment over SEC rival Auburn.
Duckworth’s commitment is also significant as he was one of the top-rated QBs in the 2026 recruiting class still uncommitted.
