Gamecocks Lose Watkins to SEC Foe

Tough break for the Gamecocks—top in-state DB Tamarion Watkins is heading to Texas A&M instead of staying home. Watkins, a star at Northwestern High, picked the Aggies over USC, Georgia, and Miami after a tight recruiting battle. Coach Beamer and Torrian Gray made a strong push, but the Aggies won out. How big of a blow is this for the 2026 class, and what does it say about our recruiting against SEC rivals? #Sports #Football #Gamecocks
