After some recruiting misses at the position, and seeing his performances at the beginning of his senior season, South Carolina’s football program dispensed an offer to Palmetto State and 2024 four-star wide receiver prospect Braylon Staley. Upon receiving his offer from the Gamecocks, Staley was spotted sporting Carolina gear at his very next high school game with the Strom Thurmond Rebels, conveying that there was at least some mutual interest between both sides.
As the season progressed, however, there never seemed to be any publicly known and tangible progress. Earlier this week, Gamecock wide receivers coach Justin Stepp conducted an in-home visit with Staley and his family, generating some buzz on social media. Despite the staff’s best efforts, it appears as if Braylon has solidified his commitment to the Volunteers, as on Friday afternoon, made his intentions clear that he will sign national letter of intent with Tennessee.
South Carolina’s Football program made a late push for 2024 four-star WR Braylon Staley but seems to have fallen short of their goal to flip him.
In final season at BYU in 2022, Pili made 62 tackles with 4.0 TFL’s, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery as a redshirt junior. His season was cut short the year prior in 2021 due to a season-ending injury. In the three games he was able to play, he recorded 31 tackles, 3.5 TFL’s, 1.5 sacks and a quarterback hurry. Pili recorded a career-high 17 tackles and a tackle for loss in a 24-16 win over Arizona.
