4-Star Offensive Lineman Commits To Gamecocks

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — Donell Stanley (Latta, S.C.) has verbally committed to South Carolina.

The four-star prospect announced his decision to play for the Gamecocks on Friday.

Stanley is South Carolina’s 13th commitment for 2014.

The 6’4, 330 pound senior is a stand-out at Latta High School and can play at the guard and tackle positions.

247 Sports composite rankings has him listed as the No. 8 offensive guard and No. 4 player from South Carolina in the 2014 class.

Stanley said he had a hard time choosing between South Carolina and Clemson, but his close relationship with offensive line coach Shawn Elliott helped seal the deal.
