Navy All-American Bowl: Future South Carolina Stars Take the Field
The prestigious Navy All-American Bowl, formerly known as the All-American Bowl hosted by Adidas, is set to showcase some of the nation’s top high school football talent. This year, both junior prospects and senior standouts will compete in the event, providing fans a glimpse of future stars. The game kicks off today, January 11th, at 12:00 PM in San Antonio, Texas, and features several players connected to the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Here’s a breakdown of the key Gamecock commits and targets to watch:
J’Zavien Currence – Four-Star Defensive Back (Class of 2026)
A cornerstone of South Carolina’s 2026 recruiting class, J’Zavien Currence is set to shine in today’s matchup. The Rock Hill, SC native is a four-star defensive back who chose the Gamecocks over offers from top programs like Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, and Oregon. Widely regarded as one of the nation’s most talented young defensive backs, Currence is expected to deliver a standout performance and reaffirm his position as a key piece of South Carolina’s future.
Darius Gray – Four-Star Offensive Lineman (Class of 2026)
Also representing South Carolina’s future is four-star offensive lineman Darius Gray, who will play for the East team. A top priority for the Gamecocks’ 2026 recruiting class, the Richmond, VA native has drawn interest from elite programs, including Tennessee, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, and Miami. While Gray is seen as a South Carolina lean, his performance today will give fans a preview of his potential to anchor a dominant offensive line for the Gamecocks.
