SCSU delays recruiting visits in wake of shooting

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina  -- A star-studded group of high school football seniors, which included three Shrine Bowl selections, were expected to visit South Carolina State today.

Friday’s on-campus shooting which resulted in the death of Bulldog linebacker Brandon Robinson apparently prompted the team to postpone this weekend’s final recruiting activities until next week. South Carolina State head football coach Buddy Pough was unavailable for comment on either issue Friday.

A total of 13 prospects were expected in Orangeburg this weekend, including fullback/linebacker Damu Ford (5-11, 240 lbs.) of two-time Class 2-A Division I champion Dillon, defensive tackle Naquez Pringle (6-2, 315) of Carvers Bay and fullback/middle linebacker Josh Harlan (6-0) of Spring Valley.
