Butler Community College defensive lineman Ulric Jones, a Maryland target, orally committed to South Carolina on Wednesday.
Jones announced his pledge on Twitter.
The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Jones, a Mississippi State commit coming out of high school, orally committed to Maryland in November.
However, Jones said Terps coaches wanted him to take an official visit to Maryland before officially committing.
Jones made his official visit to Maryland this past weekend, but the Oxford, Miss., native decided to commit to South Carolina.
