Jeffrey looking to build own legacy

When wide receiver Shamier Jeffery first arrived at South Carolina, his brother, Alshon, had already entrenched himself atop the depth chart, cemented by a breakout 1,517-yard 2010 season.


Taking the reins

Down 7-0 to UCF and having the misfortune of starting the drive on his own three-yard line, quarterback Dylan Thompson lined up in the shotgun with no one beside him.

Former Gamecocks find new homes in NFL

As expected, former South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney didn’t have to wait long to hear his name called in Thursday night’s NFL Draft. But there were a number of other Gamecocks with dreams of a career in professional football waiting to find a team this weekend.

Column: Clowney should be NFL draft's No. 1 pick

Yes, as a Gamecocks fan, I am a little biased. But despite being influenced by seeing Jadeveon Clowney shred through opponents at Williams Brice over the past two years, and being in the stands in Tampa when he delivered the now infamous hit on Michigan’s Vincent Smith, I think he is the best choice for whatever team ultimately ends up with the top pick in May’s NFL Draft.
