Junior quarterback Perry Orth has been added to the Burlsworth Trophy watch list.
The award, which recognizes the nation's top walk-on player, will be presented on Dec. 7 in Springdale, Arkansas. Three finalists will be recognized, and the winner will be announced that day as well.
Orth, who formerly worked at Publix, walked on to the Gamecock football program in the spring of 2013. Despite being low on the depth chart, Orth worked his way up to become the starter this season. The junior has completed 89 of his 166 passes this season for 1,180 yards and seven touchdowns. Not typically considered a dual-threat, Orth has also added two scores on the ground.
Orth is one of 55 players on the midseason watch list.
