South Carolina landed its first verbal commitment of the weekend as offensive tackle Jordan Rhodes (Fairburn, Ga./Creekside) made his pledge following his official visit.

Rhodes was scheduled to visit Mississippi State on January 20 and Missouri on January 27, but told TheBigSpur.com that he has shut down his recruitment and will not take any more visits. Rhodes had eight scholarship offers to his credit.

"I feel like South Carolina is a place I can start something new," Rhodes said. "It was very impressive and caught my attention. Coach Muschamp is a great guy, has a great personality and I think I fit well here."

Rhodes is the fourth offensive line commitment from the class. Offensive tackle Summie Carlay enrolled in December and was introduced on the court at halftime on Saturday. Eric Douglas was on his official visit this weekend. Junior college offensive tackle Dennis Daley is scheduled to enroll this summer.
