In a major recruiting win for Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks, four-star wide receiver Donovan Murph has officially committed to the program, choosing the Gamecocks over powerhouse programs Clemson and Colorado. Murph made the announcement during the prestigious Under Armour All-American Game, giving South Carolina a significant boost to its already promising 2025 recruiting class.
Murph, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound standout from Fort Mill, South Carolina, has been one of the most heavily recruited receivers in the Southeast. Known for his explosive speed, precise route running, and reliable hands, he recorded 153 catches for 2,412 yards and 29 touchdowns during his high school career. His combination of size, athleticism, and football IQ has made him a coveted target for programs across the nation.
South Carolina fans have been buzzing about Murph’s potential to make an immediate impact. With quarterback LaNorris Sellers expected to take the reins of the offense, Murph’s arrival could be the beginning of a dynamic quarterback-receiver duo for the Gamecocks. His commitment signals a major in-state victory for Beamer, especially considering Clemson’s push to keep him in the upstate.
“I chose South Carolina because I believe in Coach Beamer’s vision,” Murph said after his announcement. “It feels like home, and I want to help build something special right here in my home state.”
Murph’s commitment is part of a broader recruiting surge for South Carolina, which has already landed multiple four-star receivers in the 2025 class, including Malik Clark and Lex Cyrus. With Murph’s decision, the Gamecocks continue to send a clear message that they are serious about becoming a competitive force in the SEC.
This recruiting win doesn’t just add talent — it adds momentum. With Williams-Brice Stadium’s sellout streak and growing national buzz, Donovan Murph’s commitment may be remembered as a turning point for the program’s future.
