COLUMBIA — Andrew and Aiden Harris, four-star rated twin brothers from Matthews, North Carolina have committed to South Carolina football in the 2026 recruiting class.
Coach Shane Beamer reposted the news on X on June 7, then tweeted back-to-back, “Welcome Home” tweets, something he does right before or after a player commits to the Gamecocks. Aiden then reposted the news on his personal X account.
Aiden, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound defensive lineman is rated the No. 4 player in the state of North Carolina by the 247Sports Composite rankings. Andrew, also a DL, is 6-foot-2 235 pounds and is rated the No. 17 player in the state.
The twins from Weddington High School took an official visit to South Carolina on June 6, and then committed the next day. Andrew and Aiden both posted images on campus, next to a statue of the program’s mascot Cocky on June 7.
