University of South Carolina men’s soccer announces two additions to 2020 signing class

COLUMBIA, S.C. – University of South Carolina men’s soccer and head coach Mark Berson announced two additions to the 2020 signing class today as Justin Kopay and Enoch Mushagalusa joined five future Gamecocks who have signed their letters of intent.

Jake O’Connor, Spencer Mallion, Jordan Matthews, Sekou Soumah and Andrew Rosenbaum have signed their NLI along with the pair and are set to join the Gamecocks next year.

“The addition of Enoch and Justin further strengthen this recruiting class which has already received some attention nationally,” Berson said. “We have strength added to our roster at all the spots where we have losses from this season. The credentials of these young men speak for themselves, but most importantly they are quality people and competitors who will fit in well and reinforce the culture we have here at South Carolina.”
