An all-conference lineman from Swain County has made his college football choice, while Elon University has picked up another Georgia prospect for its 2026 recruiting class. Here’s the latest FCS Recruiting Buzz:
💪 Wofford Picks Up Versatile Lineman from Swain County
Swain County High School two-way standout Drew Scaggs announced his commitment to Wofford College after a June visit to the Spartanburg, S.C. campus.
Scaggs, a 6-foot-4, 275-pound offensive and defensive lineman, boasts a 4.36 GPA and was an All-Smoky Mountain Conference selection for the Maroon Devils. He was also named to an All-Western North Carolina honors team after a breakout junior season.
College interest came early for the rising junior. Scaggs held offers from East Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri State and Lenoir-Rhyne. He drew attention from Coastal Carolina, Charlotte and James Madison beginning last fall and was invited to Wake Forest’s Junior Day in the spring.. His X feed features numerous posts highlighting shoutouts from the Coastal staff.
Swain County, long one of the 1A stalwarts in the Smoky Mountain Conference, will jump to 2A this fall under the NCHSAA’s new eight-classification system. The Maroon Devils, coached by Sherman Holt, kick off the 2025 season on Friday, Aug. 22 at 5A opponent Smoky Mountain High School.
Had an amazing visit this week at Wofford! Loved the campus and facilities as well as sitting down and meeting with @Cwoods75 and @WatsonShawn1! @Coachsax72 @CoachWatson_24 @TJManchego @ShermanHolt51 @coachSeanMac @CoachCLBWCU pic.twitter.com/KzmG7erDt8 — Drew Scaggs (@dscaggs55) June 27, 2025
