It looks like South Carolina has found a starting left tackle.
“We are going to probably start Malik right now at this time,” Gamecocks offensive line coach Eric Wolford said Tuesday after practice.
Young, a 6-foot-3, 303-pound junior, had been competing with Dennis Daley, a 6-foot-6, 319-pound junior college transfer, recently in camp.
“Dennis has been inconsistent, which you would expect from a new player,” Wolford said. “At times, he flashes like the guy we expect him to be. A lot of players flash. The thing is, who can consistently play for 75 snaps, 80 snaps when you are going fast and you’re tired and it’s hot out.
