Callahan Commits to South Carolina

After verbally committing to a scholarship offer from the University of South Carolina in August of 2010, Dillon High School’s Jamie Callahan officially signed on with the Gamecocks on Wednesday, November 9.

Callahan is a senior right-handed pitcher for the Wildcats, and has long been considered one of the top prospects in the Southeast. Earlier this year he attended Pro Day where he was one of the top three pitchers, topping out at 92 MPH. He was named All State and All Region this season, and was picked to pitch in the Under Armour® All-America baseball game over the summer at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.

Callahan finished the 2011 season with seven home runs for the Wildcats, playing at first base and hitting .450. He spent the summer playing AAU baseball for the Carolina Shockwaves and the Hurricanes. He also participated in several showcases throughout the southeast.

Callahan is the son of Greg and Sandra Callahan of Hamer. His grandparents are Leroy and Joann Callahan of Little Rock and Sonny and Sylvia Bethea of the Oakland community.
