Wide Receiver Fuller Commits To South Carolina

Wide receiver Jody Fuller from Sun Valley High School in Monroe, N.C., has committed to South Carolina.

Fuller made the announcement during the Nike 7on tournament at The Opening in Beaverton, Ore.

“They were the first school to offer me,” Fuller said during a broadcast on ESPNU. “They just showed me so much love. Coach (Jay) Graham, Steve Spurrier Jr., they just made me feel at home from day one and I’m just so glad they’re going to be the school I go play with.”

Fuller, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 22 wide receiver by ESPN.com, chose South Carolina over Tennessee, Miami and Virginia Tech.

Fuller is the second receiver to commit to South Carolina this week. Kwinton Smith from Dillon (S.C.) gave his pledge to the Gamecocks on Wednesday.

Fuller is the 12th prospect to commit to South Carolina for the 2012 class.

Fuller credited South Carolina’s coaching staff for building the Gamecocks’ program to the level of an SEC championship contender. Fuller said his goal will be to win a national championship during his time in Columbia.

“We’re going to try to bring them one,” Fuller said.

Carolina Hires Butler; Gives Lil’ Spurrier New Duties

While former Minnesota defensive line coach Tim Cross is interviewing at Auburn, another former Gopher aide is already signed, sealed and delivered to the SEC.

South Carolina has hired John Butler (left) to take over as the Gamecocks’ special teams coordinator, replacing Shane Beamer (who left to join his father’s staff at Virginia Tech earlier this month).  Butler served as Minnesota’s special teams coordinator and linebackers coach from 2007 through last season. 

Butler has also coached at Harvard and several small colleges.

The recruiting coordinator job — also left vacant by Beamer’s departure — will be filled by Steve Spurrier Jr.  Many had expected Jay Graham or GA Mangus to grab those duties, but they’ll go to the head coach’s son instead.
