South Carolina football misses on Davion Dozier, a 2023 wide receiver from Alabama
South Carolina football missed on a second commitment from a 2023 wide receiver Wednesday when Davion Dozier announced his intent to play for Arkansas.
Dozier (6-foot-4, 185 pounds) plays for Moody (Alabama) High School and is ranked No. 605 overall and No. 77 at his position in the 247Sports Composite. CJ Adams, a Mableton, Georgia prospect ranked 739th and 98th, is the only wide receiver among USC's 13 commitments.
Dozier's finalists included Tennessee, Maryland and Duke. He caught 51 passes for 833 yards and 12 touchdowns last season.
Offensive players who have announced for USC are led by four-star running back Dontavius Braswell, the second-highest player in the class at No. 264 overall and No. 14 at his position. Others are guard Trovon Baugh (352nd and 18th), tight end Connor Cox (768th and 40th), and athlete Kamron Sandlin (886th and 75th), who is expected to play tight end. Tackle Isaiah Jatta is ranked as the third-ranked junior college transfer and No. 1 at his position.
There are 19 uncommitted 2023 wide receivers among the 36 offers tendered to that position by the Gamecocks, including five who have USC listed among their finalists and all are four-star recruits.
Jaden Greathouse (113th and 17th) from Austin Texas will announce Friday from finalists USC, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Texas.
