Shane Beamer is likely concentrating on the upcoming game against Oklahoma this weekend, but he’s aware that fans are questioning his job security.
South Carolina’s record stands at 3-3 this season, and the schedule ahead includes at least three more ranked teams.
While Beamer has faced challenges on the field, he has excelled in recruiting, recently securing three four-star recruits in just two days. He now has the chance to make a significant addition that could improve his standing with fans.
Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs recently lost five-star quarterback recruit Jared Curtis, who de-committed from Georgia, where he had pledged back in March 2024.
Following his de-commitment, Curtis is considering six schools, including South Carolina. As the top quarterback prospect in the 2026 class, landing him would be a major achievement for Beamer.
Curtis decided to explore other options, feeling it was unfair to consider other programs while still committed to Georgia. Besides South Carolina, he’s also looking at Oregon, Southern Cal, Clemson, Ohio State, and Alabama.
Beamer has been effective in recruiting the 2026 class, currently holding three three-star and two four-star recruits, ranking sixth overall according to 247Sports.
With three losses this season, all against ranked opponents, Beamer is under pressure. Fans are eager for tangible results on the field. However, securing Curtis’s commitment could provide Beamer with the support he needs to extend his tenure with the Gamecocks.
