South Carolina football not ranked among SEC’s top 5.

The South Carolina football team returns the conference’s top returning rusher from the 2020 season, bringing back junior tailback Kevin Harris. Harris won the regular season rushing crown last year, running for 1,138 yards and 15 touchdowns over a ten-game slate. The Gamecocks also get to see MarShawn Lloyd, a former five-star recruit, live in action following his recovery from an ACL tear that occurred prior to the season opener.

Those two are likely to give the Gamecocks a solid one-two punch, but there’s more talent on the roster that will also get an opportunity to shine in 2021.
