South Carolina lands commitment from big-time 2027 Texas quarterback

South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer has added a big-time signal-caller to his 2027 class. On Friday, just one day after reports surfaced that the Gamecocks were close to landing hima, three-star quarterback Jerry Meyer III verbally commitment to South Carolina, as first reported by The Big Spur at 247Sports:

On Thursday, On3's Sam Spiegelman predicted that the Gamecocks had a 91.9% chance to land the signal-caller. The outlet rates Meyer III as a three-star quarterback prospect, and the No. 56 overall quarterback for 2027. 

Beamer getting Meyer is a big get for South Carolina's 2027 class. Previously, the Waxahachie, Texas quarterback  was verbally committed to TCU since Aug. 2025. But a few weeks after South Carolina offered the quarterback, Meyer decommitted from the Horned Frogs in February earlier this year. Meyer was on-campus in Columbia just this past weekend, part of several prospects visiting South Carolina during its spring football practices.

Not to mention South Carolina beat out offers from several other Texas schools like  Baylor, Houston, Texas Tech, SMU and SEC programs such as Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State.

Per MaxPreps, Meyer has thrown for 8,773 yards with 120 touchdowns and 17 interceptions over three seasons. 

With Meyer's commitment, South Carolina's 2027 class now includes four members, and Meyer is the first signal-caller in the class. Beamer's class ranks 37th nationally, and 12th in the SEC.

Congrats to Beamer and company on landing their newest quarterback!
