Where South Carolina signees rank in final On3 Industry Ranking
Following On3’s release of the final 2024 On300 in addition to rankings updates from other recruiting services, the On3 Industry Ranking has updated for what will likely be the final time as five-star EDGE Dylan Stewart finishes his high school career as the top prospect in South Carolina’s class.
“Dylan Stewart is a big, athletic pass rusher with the most complete physical skill set among 2024 EDGE prospects,” reads his On3 evaluation. “Measured at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds with a 33.5-inch arm and 10.5-inch hand prior to his senior season. Added around 20 pounds of mass during his junior year. Clocked 40 yard dashes in the 4.6-second range at college camps as a rising junior. Has rare movement skills at his size. Flies around the field with a burst that pops off the screen. Lines up all over the front seven at his high school.
“Often plays in a two-point stance, both as a stand-up rusher and off-ball linebacker. Shows high-end flexibility as a pass rusher. Stays low and turns the corner at high speeds with strong curvilinear movement. Dangerous on stunts and twists. Closes extremely quickly behind the line of scrimmage. Strong finisher in part due to his combination of speed and size. Finished his junior season with 16 sacks, which stacks up on the high end among his peers. Will need to continue developing to maximize his considerable talent.”

The On3 Industry Ranking is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.
It weights the primary recruiting media services based on past performance data, and overall scouting and recruiting coverage investment. For football, the algorithm is weighted as follows: On3 (35%), 247Sports (35%), Rivals.com (20%) and ESPN (10%).
As the 2024 cycle nears the finish line, the On3 Industry Ranking currently features 32 five-stars to reflect the number of players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
While South Carolina offensive tackle Josiah Thompson is a five-star in On3’s rankings, he narrowly missed that designation from the industry, checking in as the No. 36 overall prospect in the class.
South Carolina’s 16-man recruiting class is currently ranked No. 19 in the the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings with an average rating of 90.125. The Gamecocks landed one five-star and nine four-star prospects.
