Another young South Carolina cornerback is going to start training camp at safety.
Redshirt freshman Tayvn Jackson will be playing safety when the Gamecocks begin practice on Friday, South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp told Teddy Heffner and Rick Sanford on Talking Sports on 620-AM in Columbia.
“Tayvn Jackson is a guy we are going to look at safety,” Muschamp said. “We have to be able to find some more bodies there that can play championship football.”
Jackson earned rave reviews from the coaching staff when he arrived on campus last year as a cornerback, but a hamstring injury cost him the entire season.
