For South Carolina’s offense to be its best in 2017, wide receiver Deebo Samuel is going to have to stand out. For Samuel to stand out, the Gamecocks are going to have to make him blend in.
Samuel, a 6-foot, 215-pound junior from Inman, is South Carolina’s leading returning receiver thanks to 59 catches for 783 yards a year ago. He also had 15 carries that resulted in 98 yards and six touchdowns. He will be the focus of opposing defenses this fall.
The Gamecocks will attempt to counter that attention by lining Samuel up in multiple positions and getting him the ball in multiple ways.
