Can T.J. Brunson get 100 tackles? ‘I’m sure I’ll eclipse that’

Only once in the past 11 seasons has a South Carolina football player recorded more than 100 tackles in a season. Gamecocks linebacker T.J. Brunson is pretty confident it will happen again this year.

“I’m sure I’ll eclipse that this year,” the junior from Columbia said.

Brunson had 88 tackles a year ago, five stops behind team leader Skai Moore. With Moore out of the lineup and South Carolina’s defense built around Brunson, he will have a shot at a big tackle number this season, but he isn’t interested in discussing what his final number might be.
