South Carolina lands surprise commitment from late-rising Pennsylvania receiver

South Carolina has landed a commitment Sunday from an out-of-state high school senior.

The Gamecocks received a pledge from fast-rising Pennsylvania wide receiver Tyshawn Russell on Sunday afternoon.

Russell is unranked by 247Sports, but he reported a recent offer from Virginia Tech, in addition to Maine and Central Michigan.

The Bishop McDevitt receiver is listed at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds and spent this past weekend on an official visit at South Carolina. He previously took an official to Virginia Tech last week.

Russell finished his senior season with 61 catches for 1,334 yards and 22 touchdowns, while helping squad to a state championship earlier this month.

South Carolina now has two true receivers committed in the 2023 class in Russell and three-star Alabama product CJ Adams. Four-star athletes Vicari Swain and Kelton Henderson could also project at receivers at the next level depending on what the Gamecocks staff decides.
