2026 four-star defensive lineman Aiden Harris is all in on the Gamecocks after shutting down his recruitment on Wednesday evening in a tweet from his X account.

Aiden and his brother Andrew both originally committed to South Carolina on June 7. Aiden's commitment to the class was a big deal as he is the second highest rated commit in the class just behind fellow four-star J'Zavien Currence.

Harris, a top 15 defensive lineman in the 2026 class, had 82 tackles including 31 stops for loss, 13.5 sacks and 46 quarterback hurries in 2024 as a junior at Weddington High School in Matthews, North Carolina. 247 Sports Director of Scouting, Andrew Irvin, had this to say about the talented lineman:

"Overall, should be viewed as a potential pocket pusher for a College Football Playoff contender that can be a three-down solution if he keeps progressing and fills into a frame that stretches over 6-foot-3 and is equipped with what appears to be some longer arms. Superb track and field profile for his age signals NFL upside when paired with the game tape."
