South Carolina continued a strong Signing Day with the pickup of three-star tight end Evan Hinson from Deltona, Florida. Hinson committed to the Gamecocks last week over Southern Cal, as the 6-foot-5 tight end decommitted from Miami after Coach Al Golden was fired.
Hinson is also anticipating the chance to play basketball for South Carolina, as the two-sport athlete averaged 23.3 and 6.8 rebounds during his junior season. Hinson excelled on both sides of the ball on the football field, catching 24 passes for 465 yards and six touchdowns as a tight end and recording 35 tackles, including five sacks as a defensive end and a safety.
