Hayden is currently ranked 14th among high school prospects in the state of Tennessee and is rated at number 32 among all the running backs in the nation. He registered an incredible 2,625 yards and 37 touchdowns on the ground as a junior. Though the Gamecocks are in his top five, he is projected to be a Tennessee lean by 247Sports, among others.

South Carolina became the first school to throw their hat into the ring for defensive end Eli Adams. USC offered Adams a scholarship, a move that reportedly caught him off guard. While a commitment may not be coming extremely soon, Adams would be a solid in-state add for the Gamecocks.
