It’s too early to think about whether Dakereon Joyner might play for South Carolina this fall, but it’s not impossible, new Gamecocks quarterbacks coach Dan Werner said Friday.
“It’s definitely realistic. Nowadays, guys have to come in and play,” Werner said. “He’s a good athlete. He’s one of those guys you’ve got to kick him out because he’s over here too much (studying).”
Joyner was a four-star prospect out of Fort Dorchester High School and the state’s Mr. Football. He enrolled early at South Carolina in order to compete in spring practice this year.
“He’s going to work hard and try to learn everything,” said Werner, who was hired in the offseason to coach the Gamecocks quarterbacks.
