Will Muschamp says his son, who committed to Georgia, was never going to play for him

South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp says his son Jackson, who committed to Georgia football, was never going to commit to him.

This week, Georgia football made headlines when news broke that Jackson Muschamp would be signing with UGA as a preferred walk-on.

Muschamp, the oldest son of South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp, ranks as a three-star quarterback in the class of 2020.

6-foot-2, 190-pound signal caller out of Columbia, South Carolina,  Muschamp had verbally committed to Colorado State, but after a recent visit to Athens he decided to attend Georgia, where his father played his collegiate football as well.

Muschamp’s announcement came as a surprise to many folks at home. They just could not understand why the son of South Carolina’s head coach would go play for a rival in the same division as the Gamecocks.

The answer is, the two Muschamp’s discussed it long ago, and Jackson told his father that he did not want to go where Will was coaching.

Coach Muschamp sounds content with his son’s decision. He and Kirby Smart are good friends of 20+ years who previously spent time together as teammates in Athens and coaches at Valdosta State and LSU.
