Chaz Elder Commits To South Carolina Over Georgia Bulldogs
Chaz Elder did as everyone expected and chose South Carolina.
At 6’2” and 185 pounds, Elder looks like a tall cornerback. And that might be what he is at the next level. But Elder also could be an excellent safety. Elder is all about range. He can cover a lot of ground from his safety position. If he plays corner at the next level, it will need to be in a scheme that plays a lot of zone coverage, as he doesn’t have the hips to play man-to-man as a cornerback. Elder displays great skills playing the ball as well.
