As the 2024 season approaches, South Carolina football is poised for a fresh start. Coach Shane Beamer’s roster has undergone significant changes, with new faces joining the team via the transfer portal and an exciting freshman class. Gone are quarterback Spencer Rattler and receiver Xavier Legette, but in their place are talented newcomers eager to make their mark. Redshirt freshman LaNorris Sellers takes the reins as the starting quarterback, and he’ll be surrounded by a cast of players looking to make an immediate impact. Here are five players to watch as the Gamecocks enter the 2024 season
Dylan Stewart, Edge: A five-star recruit with impressive strength and explosiveness, Stewart is expected to make a significant contribution to the defense.
Mazeo Bennett Jr., Wide Receiver: With Xavier Legette’s departure, Bennett has a chance to fill the void in the downfield passing game. His talent and potential have already caught Coach Beamer’s attention.
Josiah Thompson, Offensive Lineman: A four-star freshman with impressive blocking abilities, Thompson joins a position group in need of a boost. He may become an immediate spark for the offense.
Rocket Sanders, Running Back: The transfer from Arkansas is expected to lead the Gamecocks’ offense. With 1,443 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022, Sanders brings a wealth of experience and talent to the team.
Kyle Kennard, Edge: A transfer from Georgia Tech, Kennard brings size, experience, and a strong track record of production to the defense. His 115 career tackles and 12.5 sacks make him a valuable addition to the team. As the Gamecocks prepare for their first game, there’s a sense of renewed optimism in Columbia. With these new faces and a fresh start, South Carolina football is ready to take on the 2024 season with confidence and determination.
