South Carolina senior Bryson Allen-Williams is a Buck now. At least he is if you ask Bucks coach Mike Peterson.
“I’m calling him a Buck,” Peterson said after practice Thursday. “He’s a ballplayer. He’s with the Buck position so I’m coaching him a lot and I’m excited about him.”
Allen-Williams is listed as a starting linebacker for the Gamecocks, but head coach Will Muschamp has stressed that Allen-Williams will be asked to rush the quarterback a lot this season, and the Buck position, a defensive end spot that can line up in a variety of ways, is a good fit for that role.
