South Carolina has picked up its second Saturday verbal commitment from yet another in-state prospect.

Three-star defensive end Tyreek Johnson (Sumter, S.C./Lakewood) committed to the Gamecocks, joining offensive tackle Eric Douglas, who committed earlier in the day.

Johnson is commitment No. 8 for South Carolina in the 2017 recruiting cycle, seven of which are natives of the Carolinas.

He is the first career verbal commit for recruiter-of-record Mike Peterson.
