South Carolina added an intriguing WR prospect today in FSU Transfer Vandrevius Jacobs. Jacobs is still young, only completing one season in Tallahassee where he caught 3 passes for 60 yards and a TD across 5 games played in 2023. His upside remains uncertain, but he was rated as a 5.8 4-star prospect out of Vero Beach, FL in the 2023 class and had P5 offers across the southeast before signing with Florida State.
Jacobs ended up redshirting for the 2023 season, meaning he arrives in Columbia with 4 years of eligibility remaining as WR Coach Mike Furrey and the Gamecock staff attempt to chisel out his upside in a new location.
During his HS tenure, Jacobs was prolific with 149 catches for 2,320 yards and 31 touchdowns in two seasons at Vero Beach As a senior, he averaged 105.5 yards per game, catching 100 passes for 1,511 yards and 21 touchdowns.
While South Carolina seems to have several veteran options at WR that arrived this spring, including Gage Larvadain, Jared Brown, and Ahmari Huggins-Bruce, Jacobs adds some additional youth with upside that could bring a different element to the WR room when he arrives.
**************
For the second time in the same day, South Carolina football added to its wide receiver depth.
After bringing in former Florida State wide receiver Vandrevius Jacobs, the Gamecocks used their other current open scholarship on a more proven weapon. Former Nevada wide receiver Dalevon Campbell is joining the program from Nevada, bringing South Carolina to 85 current scholarship players.
Campbell has one year of eligibility remaining as a sixth-year player, and this is his second transfer after he opened his college career at Illinois. The Houston native spent the first three years of his career at Illinois before transferring and taking off in Reno.
The 6-foot-4, 218 Ib. target was an All Mountain West honorable mention last year, and appeared in all 24 games for the Wolfpack over the last two seasons. He caught 51 passes for 806 yards with a pair of touchdowns, both of which game last season.
His size makes him unique in this particular class of new receivers for the Gamecocks. He is the fifth receiver to join the program in the transfer portal including the winter cycle, but by far the tallest of the group. He figures to be a potential jump ball weapon as well as a red zone threat, providing something the roster badly needed with Xavier Legette’s departure.
Overall, Campbell is the 20th player to join the program out of the transfer portal since December.
