After his freshman season at Wren High School, Kelly Bryant received his first scholarship offer from South Carolina.
Five years later, the junior is preparing to start in his first rivalry game against the Gamecocks as Clemson’s starting quarterback.
“It’s special to participate in this rivalry,” Bryant said on Monday. “I can say later on down the road that I was the starting quarterback in this rivalry. It means a lot to a lot of people in the state. A lot of people plan their whole lives around Clemson-South Carolina, so it’s special, and I’m really looking forward to it.
