He's a freshman at a new position, but Muschamp says he'll play for Gamecocks in 2018 | The State

One look at South Carolina football early enrollee R.J. Roderick, and it’s clear why the Gamecocks staff took his commitment at a position he’d basically never played.

After one spring practice, he won’t be redshirting to develop.

USC coach Will Muschamp said Roderick, a product of Cane Bay High School in the Lowcountry, will play for the Gamecocks in 2018. The quarterback-turned-safety got a lot of work in the spring, owing to turnover at the position.

“RJ Roderick is going to be a really good football player,” Muschamp told said at a Spurs Up Tour stop in Charlotte.
