3-star safety Zahbari Sandy commits to South Carolina

Laurel (Md.) St. John’s three-star safety Zahbari Sandy has committed to South Carolina, announcing the news Sunday on social media.

He chose the Gamecocks over  Tennessee, Ole Miss, West Virginia and Maryland. Sandy is the first verbal in the 2023 South Carolina recruiting class.

Sandy is the No. 513 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.1k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
