COLUMBIA, S.C. — For the second straight year, Mr. Richland County is staying home and playing for South Carolina.

Hammond’s Alex Huntley took the trophy last year after committing to the Gamecocks, this year it was Heathwood Hall’s Ronnie Porter who announced his commitment to the Gamecocks after earning the Mr. Football honors for Richland County. He’ll be a preferred walk-on in 2020.
