Jadeveon Clowney, Nation's Top Prospect, Signs With South Carolina

Filed under: South Carolina, Recruiting, Prospects

Jadeveon Clowney celebrated Valentine's Day on Monday by giving Steve Spurrier what he has always wanted.

Himself.

Clowney, the nation's consensus top high school athlete, announced at a packed news conference at South Pointe High School that he will be traveling 68 miles south from his Rock Hill, S.C., home to play college football for the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Clowney (6-6, 247) chose South Carolina over Alabama and Clemson, and cited proximity to his parents as a key reason for the decision.

"I'm just glad it's over," Clowney said. "I'm tired. Maybe now, I can get some rest."
