Top 20 forward Kelsi Andrews will announce her commitment on Tuesday, October 7. She recently visited South Carolina.

Along with Spanish guard Somto Okafor, Andrews visited South Carolina the weekend of September 26. Prior to that, Andrews had visited Virginia (August 31), Auburn (September 5), LSU (September 12), and Mississippi State (September 19). 

Andrews revealed on social media on Friday that she will announce her commitment on Tuesday, October 7, at 6:00 pm ET. Additional details about the announcement were not immediately available.

South Carolina has been recruiting Andrews practically since middle school. She was a top ten prospect before knee injuries in 2022 and 2023 hurt her ranking.

At 6-4, Andrews has been listed as both a post and forward by recruiting services. She is ranked 18th overall by HoopGurlz and 30th overall by Rivals/On3. She fits the mold of a modern post: equally comfortable in the low post or stepping out to hit the three.

Andrews has had a nomadic high school career. She attended two different schools in her home state of Alabama before transferring to IMG Academy in Florida for her junior and senior seasons, and is finally healthy again.

Andrews had 12 points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks in IMG’s 80-78 win over Montverde at the Chipotle Nationals. That Montverde team featured Gamecock freshman Agot Makeer and Saniyah Hall, the top-ranked prospect in the 2026 class.

Andrews also played for FBC United, the same club that produced Joyce Edwards, Raven Johnson, Ta’Niya Latson, Ashlyn Watkins, Kamilla Cardoso, and former Gamecock MiLaysia Fulwiley.

Andrews comes from an athletic background. Her father played football at Alabama, and her mother played basketball at LSU and Alabama, where she led the Crimson Tide in rebounding as a senior. Her mother later became a coach.
