High school wide receiver Jaiden Kelly‑Murray, a top prospect from Oceanside Collegiate Academy in South Carolina, has officially committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks for the 2027 recruiting class. The decision marks a major milestone for both the young athlete and the Gamecocks, who have secured one of the state’s most talented wide receivers.
Standing at 5-foot-10 and weighing 170 pounds, Kelly‑Murray is known for his explosive speed, precise route-running, and reliable hands, making him a versatile threat both in the slot and on the outside. He has drawn attention from programs across the country, but ultimately chose to stay in his home state and join a program where he can contribute immediately.
Kelly‑Murray’s commitment comes at a key time for South Carolina’s offense. With the receiving corps in need of playmakers, the Gamecocks are adding a dynamic weapon who can stretch the field and create matchup problems for defenses. Coaches have praised his work ethic, football IQ, and ability to make plays in critical moments.
This commitment is also a significant win in the 2027 recruiting cycle, as South Carolina fends off competition from other Power Five programs seeking his talent. Kelly‑Murray’s decision reflects the Gamecocks’ strong recruiting efforts in their home state and their ability to secure top local prospects.
With Jaiden Kelly‑Murray officially on board, South Carolina fans can look forward to a highly skilled, homegrown playmaker joining the team, ready to make an immediate impact and help shape the future of the Gamecocks’ passing game.
