In the first four games of the season, South Carolina was desperate for depth in the defensive backfield. When Steven Montac returned from a foot injury two weeks ago against Texas A&M, they suddenly had it.
“When he’s playing for you, you’ve got depth because he can play corner or nickel or dime, he can play both safeties,” head coach Will Muschamp said. “He gives you instant depth across the board and a comfort level as a guy who’s going to go in and do things the way we want them done.”
Montac suffered a foot injury in the second week of fall camp.
