  Stone Blanton was an absolute coup for Beamer and the Gamecocks. It's hard to overstate how rare it is to snag kids like Blanton out of Mississippi when Ole Miss and Mississippi State are both involved in the recruiting process. But here we are. Blanton is a bit of an old-school thumper at linebacker, yet versatile enough that he was a two-sport standout in baseball and football in high school. He's had some injury issues in recent years, and that's part of why his recruiting ranking dropped from the high-200s to the low-300s, though he's still a four-star recruit in the 247Sports Composite that factors in all network rankings.

South Carolina has some needs at linebacker given the thin depth behind Brad Johnson and Sherrod Greene. Mo Kaba should be a big piece this fall. Debo Williams, too, came on strong at the end of last year and should factor into the equation. Blanton may not be in the regular mix at linebacker immediately, but he's a good bet to make an impact on special teams. Emmanwori is an absolute freak of an athlete and one who could find his way into the lineup if only because he's such a unicorn. The Irmo product recorded roughly a million tackles during his high school career - OK, I'm exaggerating a bit - and could see time at just about any position from edge to safety at the college level. - Rock Hill Herald
