Stone Furrey talks junior season, recruiting
Two seasons ago, Stone Furrey was at Gaffney High school playing on the defensive side of the ball.
He transferred to Chapin after his father, Mike Furrey, was hired as South Carolina’s wide receivers coach.
The younger Furrey changed positions to receiver, and his game has taken the next step from there.
The 5-foot-10, 175-pounder caught 55 passes for 700 yards and 6 touchdowns last season, racking up over 1,000 all-purpose yards on the year.
“I’ve been blessed to be in this opportunity,” Furrey told GamecockCentral.com. “God’s blessed me with the opportunity to play football in the first place.”
Furrey was ready heading into the 2024 campaign for a new opportunity.

With his father on staff in Columbia, Furrey gets a front-row seat to the inner workings of an SEC program and has the opportunity to be around the program on a regular basis.
“I train a lot with him,” he said. “I go up there a lot and talk to all those coaches. I’m blessed.”
Furrey’s been conditioning hard in the offseason, in addition to continuing to train with his father, a former NFL standout.
“I’m looking forward to next season to hopefully go ball out again,” he said.
With his bloodlines, production in high school, and potential, it figures that recruiting interest will continue to pick up for Furrey.
“I just want to find a coach that takes me in, like one of their own sons, so he’s helping me in school, on the field, and making sure I’m in the best shape I can be,” he said.
