Shockwaves in College Football: Landon Dankworth De-Commits from South Carolina, Commits to LSU Tigers
The college football landscape was shaken as Landon Dankworth, a highly-touted quarterback prospect, announced his de-commitment from the South Carolina Gamecocks and subsequent commitment to the LSU Tigers. Dankworth’s decision has sent ripples through the recruiting world, as he was seen as a cornerstone of South Carolina’s future under head coach Shane Beamer.
“It was one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever had to make,” Dankworth shared in his statement. “I have so much respect for Coach Beamer and the entire Gamecocks program, but I feel that LSU’s system and coaching staff align perfectly with my long-term goals as a player.”
Dankworth’s move to Baton Rouge comes as LSU continues to bolster its recruiting class under head coach Brian Kelly. Known for his ability to develop elite talent, Kelly’s program has been a magnet for top-tier recruits, and Dankworth’s commitment only strengthens their status as an SEC powerhouse.
South Carolina fans expressed disappointment but wished Dankworth success, understanding the pressures young athletes face in making such monumental decisions. For LSU, the addition of Dankworth solidifies their quarterback depth and sets the stage for continued dominance in the highly competitive SEC.
As Dankworth prepares for this new chapter, all eyes will be on his transition and the impact he will bring to Death Valley.
