South Carolina football took another blow on the defensive side of the ball.
South Carolina has lost nearly all of its starting defense from the 2020 season, as it’s seen six members of the secondary, as well as leading tackler Ernest Jones leave the program. The unit took another hit on Tuesday as fifth year senior Keir Thomas announced his plans to find a new home for his final season of eligibility.
