One of two linebackers that South Carolina signed in the 2019 class, Jahmar Brown already impressed this summer when he arrived and quickly showed that he's a workout warrior with a strong competitive edge, something Will Muschamp covets during the evaluation process, and he's definitely caught Coleman Hutzler's attention in camp.
Brown, who at one time checked in at just 198 pounds, has put on around 20 pounds since arriving in Columbia, according to Hutzler, who confirmed our earlier report of that news on Thursday.
“He's done some good things, man. He’s flashing,” Hutzler said. “He’s done a good job. He’s playing SAM playing WILL/Dime, you know, and so we’re training him up at two spots. And he’s a guy, obviously, that athletically did a lot of great things when he came to camp. We’re excited. He's got to keep going; he's got to keep getting stronger. He's gained 20 pounds since he got here, in two months. He’s doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him. I wish I looked like that with my shirt off. But, you know, he’s doing great things. He's going to be a good player for us.”
The interesting thing about that news is that one of the few attributes holding back Brown as a prospect, when he was a three-star guy, was his size. As a high school player, Brown showed some of the best coverage skills we've ever seen come through the Gamecocks' camp circuit when he locked up wide receivers in man coverage. Add in his increased size and competitive nature and you've got the makings of a potentially really good player.
“Twenty pounds is pretty incredible,” USC linebacker coach Coleman Hutzler said. “You know, that’s a testament to Kristin (Coggin) and her staff and (Jeff) Dillman.The sky’s the limit with him and he’s gonna be he’s gonna be everything we want.”
