Palmetto (Fla.) Cardinal Mooney three-star wide receiver Zy’marion Lang announced a pledge to South Carolina Sunday, choosing the Gamecocks over finalists Pitt, USF and Kansas State.

On3 lists Lang as the No. 92 receiver in his class.

South Carolina recruited Lang as both a wide receiver and defensive back but he is expected to start his career on the offensive side of the ball.
He was recruited to the Gamecocks by defensive backs coach Torrian Gray and wide receivers coach Justin Stepp.
Pitt likely finished second in the race as Lang took an official visit there during the process.
He has not yet used his OV to Columbia but has taken multiple unofficials and will use his official visit in the fall.
