COLUMBIA — South Carolina football has landed four-star wide receiver Sequel Patterson from the class of 2026.
Patterson is rated the No. 5 player in South Carolina in the 247Sports Composite rankings and the No. 15 athlete (multiple possible positions) in his recruiting class. He picked the Gamecocks and coach Shane Beamer over Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky.
The 6-foot, 165-pound versatile wide receiver is from Fort Mill, South Carolina and plays for Indian Land High School. According to MaxPreps, he had 441 rushing yards on 76 carries (5.8 yards per carry) as a junior to go with 758 receiving yards and 52 receptions. He combined for 10 touchdowns.
He revealed his decision June 26, then posted a video on X with more details on his decision June 27.
“In high school, I knew I had something special,” he said in the video. “That’s when I wanted to come somewhere I could be developed. Later in high school I realized I could graduate early. That’s when I knew I had to find a coach that was right for me. And that’s when I realized where home is and I am here right now.”
The video ended with him sitting with South Carolina wide receivers coach Mike Furrey, taken during his official visit on June 20.
This is the ninth class of 2026 commit for Beamer, and the second from Fort Mill. J’Zavien Currence, a four-star safety and the No. 1 recruit in the state, committed to South Carolina on Oct. 17. He plays for South Pointe High School, which is about 20 miles from where Patterson plays.
