Per report, South Carolina football adds Florida receiver commitment

Earlier this week, the South Carolina football program missed out on 4-star wide receiver Malik Clark, a Rock Hill native who made a surprise commitment to the Florida State Seminoles instead of the in-state schoo Gamecocks. However, even without Clark, USC has three wideouts committed to the team in the class of 2025 as Jayden Sellers, Brian Rowe, and Lex Cyrus have pledged their services to USC.

On Friday, another receiver decided to join the Gamecocks, as well, and he will be in Columbia even sooner than Sellers, Rowe, and Cyrus.

According to a report from SportsTalk's Phil Kornblut, Miami Dade College's Ruben Jackson is enrolling at the University of South Carolina and joining the team this fall. The Florida native will be a walk-on wide receiver. He began his career at Mississippi State before transferring to the junior college level, playing at Georgia Military, and then finalizing his grades at Miami Dade.

Coming out of Glades Central High School in the class of 2020, Jackson was rated as high as a 3-star prospect. Though he has been in college football for a while, he will have up to two more years of eligibility remaining thanks to a redshirt year in 2021 and the "Covid redshirt" of 2020.

As a player, Jackson is a slot receiver with some solid quickness that he uses to try to get open. He is small (listed anywhere from 5'8" to 5'11" and under 180 pounds) but will help provide some depth to a wide receiver room that lost six players to the transfer portal this offseason (Juice Wells, Landon Samson, Zavier Short, Kylic Horton, O'Mega Blake, and Kelton Henderson) and several others to graduation/the NFL (Xavier Legette, Ahmarean Brown, and Eddie Lewis).
