STRecruiting Notebook 4-19: Third commitment for USC football class; Clemson offers another TE; SEC free agent to visit USC

South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer recently lost a pair of commitments from his 2027 class, leaving him with just two. But on Saturday, Beamer added a third as he announced on his X account that while attending a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field, he received a call from a 2027 prospect, and a commitment was taken. The prospect has not yet gone public with his commitment, so who could it be?
