Judah Lancaster is a Gamecock.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound tight end out of Brentwood (Tenn.) Brentwood Academy has committed to South Carolina, giving the Gamecocks a versatile playmaker at the position.

South Carolina built this one over time.

“They’ve been in the mix since the beginning of my junior year,” Lancaster told Rivals. “They came to see me practice, had a plan for me and stuck with it. How they recruited me, how consistent they were, and how they want to use me made a big impact on me.”

A visit to Columbia in March sealed the decision. Lancaster spent multiple days on campus, getting a full look at the program — from practice to meetings to the overall environment.

“It was definitely super big,” he said. “Just seeing the atmosphere, the environment, watching practice and sitting in meetings — I got a real feel for it.”

That trip gave him clarity.

“I left that visit feeling like that was the place,” Lancaster said. “When I left, I just had a different feeling. Being around the people, feeling the love and how the environment was had me feeling different from other visits.”
