South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp surprised some when he announced last February that 6-foot-4 freshman Israel Mukuamu would get a shot at corner at that height.

“That’s my dog,” Montac said. “He’s going to be good too. When it’s his time to play on the field, he’s going to be very, very good.
