South Carolina defensive back Chris Lammons will play somewhere in USC’s secondary in 2017.

But somewhere could be anywhere, maybe everywhere.

The senior has been working at safety during fall camp, after primarily playing cornerback through his career. The move has often been talked about and alluded to, but off a year where he doubled as the team’s slot corner against high-powered spread teams, his versatility is again being put to use.

“We’re trying to create depth on our football team, which is not about putting the next guy, it’s about putting the next best guy in,” Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said.
