The South Carolina Gamecocks might have more tight ends than an offense could know what to do with.
Three played heavily last year, another played some, another redshirted and added weight on a skinny freshman frame. Beyond them, there’s a walk-on, a true freshman, and one more guy, someone who played in every game as a true freshman in 2015 and hasn’t seen the field since.
Kyle Markway had to come back from injury, and now aims to carve out some role with a group that’s deep and will likely see its snaps decrease. The Gamecocks ran a two-tight end offense in 2016 almost by necessity, and more three-wide receiver sets are almost a given going forward.
