Today I am going to look at a player who is on the verge of successfully making the jump from high school to the collegiate ranks. What exactly is successfully making the jump, well its going from high school and making a name for yourself and having an impact as a first year player within a program.
South Carolina has a player by the name of Stephon Gilmore who looks like he is going to be able to successfully make that jump. Stephon, who is apart of the 2009 recruiting class, graduated high school early and was able to participate in spring ball for the Gamecocks. The coaches and fellow teammates raved about Gilmore's cover skills and he looks to be a big time play maker at cornerback, where he looks to be a day 1 starter.
After watching Gilmore's high school it is clear that he has the speed to compete. Gilmore played QB and safety and high school and was an impact player who could do amazing things with the ball in his hands. In addition to playing cornerback at South Carolina, the coaches have been looking at him to play QB in the wildhog formation which could add a new dynamic to one of the more lack luster offenses in the SEC last year.
As you watch Gilmore's film it is clear that he was a great pick up for USC and he is on the verge of successfully Making the Jump.....
