#WelcomeHome! Gamecocks land commitment from Georgia DB
South Carolina football’s 2026 class grew by a man on Monday night as defensive back Peyton Dyer announced his pledge to the Gamecocks.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder was in Columbia this weekend watching USC take down Texas A&M in Williams-Brice Stadium.

“Excited to announce I’m committing to University of South Carolina,” he wrote on his X social media profile on Monday night. “I’m ready to take this next step.”
