I'm Stone Blanton: This is why I chose South Carolina football
The Clarion Ledger asked Madison-Ridgeland Academy senior linebacker Stone Blanton to why he chose to play football at South Carolina. Blanton explains why he chose the Gamecocks.
I chose South Carolina of the trust and culture that I have with the coaches. I feel like that program can only go up from here. They had a phenomenal season and they didn't even have a quarterback.
That just shows you that they can be a really great team and build something really special.

The atmosphere there is unbelievable. You sit net to one of your friends and you can't hear anything they're saying because the student section and fans are all going crazy.
I've had so much love and support from all their fans texting me and supporting me throughout this whole decision. I really appreciate everything that they've done for me and I couldn't be more excited to get there.
