Five-star CB Joshua Dobson commits to South Carolina but recruitment continues

On July 2, 2026, five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson announced his commitment to South Carolina, choosing the Gamecocks over Texas A&M, Michigan, and Auburn. Despite his declaration of being '100% committed,' Dobson indicated that his recruitment is still open, emphasizing that schools will continue to pursue him until he signs. His commitment follows his official visit to Texas A&M on June 5, which had initially positioned them as a frontrunner. Both Texas A&M and Michigan are expected to maintain their pursuit of Dobson leading up to the Early Signing Day in December, with his final decision possibly influenced by South Carolina’s performance in the upcoming season.
