Gamecocks Commit Peyton Dyer Plans Official Visit to Georgia—Is His Recruitment Still Open?
South Carolina Pledge Keeping Options Open as Bulldogs Push for a Flip
The South Carolina Gamecocks have been riding a wave of recruiting momentum, but they now face a challenge in holding onto one of their key commitments. Three-star offensive lineman Peyton Dyer, who committed to Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks earlier in the cycle, has confirmed that he plans to take an official visit to Georgia, adding intrigue to his recruitment.
With Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs making a late push, the question arises: Could South Carolina lose one of its prized offensive line commitments?
Dyer’s Commitment to South Carolina Still Stands—For Now
The 6-foot-5, 290-pound offensive lineman from Marietta, Georgia, committed to South Carolina earlier this year, drawn in by the coaching staff’s vision and the opportunity to develop in Columbia. Dyer has built a strong relationship with offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley, and his commitment was seen as a big win for the Gamecocks’ 2025 recruiting class.
However, even after pledging to South Carolina, Dyer has continued to receive heavy interest from top programs, and Georgia has refused to back off.
Georgia Making a Late Push for Dyer
With Kirby Smart consistently assembling some of the nation’s best offensive line groups, it’s no surprise that Georgia is taking a serious look at Dyer. The Bulldogs, known for producing NFL-caliber linemen, have been making a concerted effort to get him on campus for an official visit.
“I’m still committed to South Carolina, but I want to take a look at what Georgia has to offer,” Dyer said. “They’ve been recruiting me hard, and I owe it to myself to explore all my options.”
For Georgia, securing a late flip would be a major win in the trenches, especially as they look to solidify their 2025 class with top-tier talent.
What This Means for South Carolina
While Shane Beamer and his staff remain confident in Dyer’s commitment, there’s no doubt that this visit could shift the momentum. South Carolina has been working hard to build a strong offensive line class, and losing Dyer would be a significant blow.
That said, the Gamecocks still hold the edge due to Dyer’s early relationship with the staff and his comfort within the program. South Carolina’s ability to continue competing in the SEC and developing linemen will play a major role in keeping him locked in.
What’s Next for Dyer’s Recruitment?
With an official visit to Georgia on the horizon, the recruitment battle for Peyton Dyer is far from over. While he remains committed to South Carolina, all eyes will be on his trip to Athens and how the Bulldogs attempt to sway him.
Will the Gamecocks hold onto their prized offensive line commitment, or is Georgia poised to pull off a major flip? Stay tuned.
