"South Carolina was good, and my favorite part of the trip was being with the players and bonding with those guys," the 6-foot-4, 215-pound outside linebacker of Vance County High School in Henderson, NC, who has been long recruited by the Gamecocks, defensive coordinator Clayton White and Carolina who were the first FBS school to offer him out of the gate on May 9, 2023.
Alston will visit Rutgers this weekend, North Carolina on June 14, and Virginia Tech June 21.
"What stands out about (Carolina) is Coach Beamer and his staff, and how they operate around the program and into the team. Alston said he was able to spend quality time with White, whom he has a longstanding relationship with. "Yes, I did. And we looked at film and how they would use me in their defense. Coach White talked a lot during the visit," the player ranked No. 16 in the state and No. 43 at the position said.
