Decision day has finally arrived for OG Darius Gray of Richmond, VA, and if recent projections are to be believed, a loud scream by Shane Beamer can be expected shortly after 7:00 PM when Gray makes his announcement on the 247Sports YouTube Channel. Steve Wiltfong of On3, who had predicted Gray for LSU in the spring, flipped his projection to South Carolina on Thursday. Clemson, Tennessee and Ohio State are the other schools that will have hats on the table in front of Gray, but it’s the cap of the Cocks he’s expected to grab. South Carolina was the first school to offer Gray on June 16, 2022. Since then, he’s camped every summer with the Gamecocks and made several other game and recruiting visits.
