South Carolina’s football team mostly knows what it has with its top group of linebackers.
Skai Moore was an anchor for years. Bryson Allen-Williams was an anchor last year. T.J. Brunson has showed what he might be able to do for a year as a backup.
But that’s not enough.
Even in the spread era, a team can’t survive with only three linebackers for a season. There are four new guys in the fold, three true freshmen and a junior college transfer.
And they might add an extra level of speed and athleticism.
“We’re pretty excited about that,” Gamecocks inside linebacker coach Coleman Hutzler said.
