The changes in the NCAA redshirt rule made an impact for South Carolina last season, as several Gamecocks freshman saw some playing time last season and also redshirted.
Between them, freshman who didn’t see time and a few veterans who sat for medical reasons, the Gamecocks will have a number of possible contributors who will have chances to make statements this spring.
Center Hank Manos
The Chapin High School product didn’t play until late in the season, but he ended up starting the bowl game at center. Veteran Donell Stanley said he expects Manos will start there next season.
