Five-star South Carolina, Clemson target Jordan Burch moves up his college decision
Jordan Burch has a date and time to make his college choice.
The Hammond five star defensive end will be announcing his commitment on Wednesday at 2 p.m. hour on ESPNU, according to a release from ESPN. Burch previously announced that his decision would be on Thursday.
Wednesday is the first day of the early signing period for football. Burch will make the announcement from Hammond, he announced via Twitter. It will be closed to the public.
Burch’s finalists are Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU and South Carolina. He is one of eight players set to announce on ESPNU.
All five schools remain in the mix and made their final pushes this week. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, defensive coordinator Brent Venables and other assistants came to Columbia on Wednesday to watch Burch’s basketball game against AC Flora.
On Thursday, it was Georgia’s turn as coach Kirby Smart spent time with Burch and attended Hammond’s basketball game at Florence Christian. LSU’s Ed Orgeron was supposed to be in Columbia on Friday.
South Carolina coach Will Muschamp, whose son Jackson is the starting quarterback at Hammond, also reportedly met with Burch this week and was at most of his games the past three seasons. Burch went to a few Gamecocks games this year including the season finale against Clemson.
Burch went on an official visit to Georgia over the weekend.
