The South Carolina football program had five players drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft (Cam Smith, Zacch Pickens, Darius Rush, Jovaughn Gwyn, and Jalen Brooks). That number could be even higher for the 2024 NFL Draft as Spencer Rattler, Antwane “Juice” Wells, Trey Knox, and Kai Kroeger seem to be clear choices to be selected, and a whole slew of other Gamecocks could hear their names called next April with big final seasons in Columbia.
Quarterback Spencer Rattler has been believed to be an NFL quarterback since he was in high school.
