There has been more preseason movement on South Carolina’s defensive depth than on its offensive counterpart, but that doesn’t mean there has been a lot of shifting around. Most of the faces are still in the same places they were when fall camp began, but with less than two weeks remaining until the season-opener against N.C. State, it’s a good time to check in anyway.
One word of caution on the traditional depth chart: the Gamecocks likely will deploy their resources in multiple ways this year depending on opponent and plan, so it could be that five defensive backs start one game with two linebackers and the next week it’s four and three.
