Cornerbacks Wesley Green and Chris Lammons have been admitted to the University of South Carolina and will report in time for the start of preseason camp, which begins on Friday, sources tell GamecockCentral.com.

The pair's test scores were flagged prior to enrollment in Columbia, which forced each to take the standardized test again on July 11. Results were expected to be known by Tuesday, although the official word would not come until today when South Carolina's admissions committee met. That meeting took place at approximately 5:30 p.m., as previously reported by GamecockCentral.com. Although there was internal confidence that both would make it to school by August 1, the definitive word did not come down until now.

Green, a 5-foot-10, 168-pounder from Martin Luther King High in Lithonia (Georgia), pledged to South Carolina (his second verbal commitment to the program after backing off his initial commitment). He carried scholarship offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Ole Miss, Southern California, Tennessee, and numerous others.

Lammons, a 5-foot-9, 168-pounder from Plantation High in Florida, also made a signing day commitment back in February to the Gamecocks. The former high school quarterback will transition to defensive back at the next level. His considerable upside drew offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Miami, Nebraska, Ohio State, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and several other top programs.

The news is welcome for Gamecock football, as Green and Lammons could contribute as true freshmen to a South Carolina secondary that loses its top three cornerbacks from last season.
