The 5-foot-9, 190-pound running back, who hails from talent-laden Stephenson (Stone Mountain, Ga.), posted the announcement on both Twitter and Facebook.

Davis was previously committed to Florida, but reopened his recruitment in December. He chose South Carolina over Clemson and Tennessee.

The news comes on the heels of Todd Gurley's commitment to Georgia. Davis had also considered the in-state Bulldogs.



As a senior, Davis rushed for 1,924 yards and 21 touchdowns.
