One day after completing his official visit to South Carolina, Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes four-star RB Carsyn Baker has decommitted from Florida, he told Rivals Hayes Fawcett on Monday night.

A one-time Gamecock lean early in the process and long-time Florida commitment, Baker began taking another look at other programs following the firing of head coach Billy Napier.

After taking trips to North Carolina and Kentucky, Baker completed his visit slate with an official to South Carolina this weekend, his last before National Signing Day.

Baker told GamecockCentral that he’ll make a final decision on Wednesday morning.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder is being recruited to South Carolina by running backs coach Marquel Blackwell.

Baker is the No. 198 overall prospect and No. 16 RB in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 24 recruit in Georgia.

“I sign on Wednesday morning,” Baker said. “It’s going to come down to everything, the next couple of days I’m going to talk to my family and see what’s the best place and best fit for me. I think I’ll know Tuesday when I wake up and then Wednesday morning when I sign those papers, I’ll know exactly where I’m going.”

If Baker chooses the Gamecocks, he would be the lone pledge in Carolina’s 2026 recruiting class after Amari Thomas flipped to Florida State last month.

The 14-man class is currently ranked No. 19 in the country.

National Signing Day is set for this Wednesday.
