  Draft Scout by Conference









  He isn't anywhere near the front of the line when it comes to being a South Carolina football legend before he ever plays a down. Every year's recruiting class by itself brings a new phalanx of starry-eyed fans swearing that this guy will be the one to finally take the Gamecocks to the promised land. But something about Adam Prentice feels different. He's 23 with a degree in civil engineering. At six feet and 245 pounds, calves that look like shot puts implanted in the backs of his legs, he resembles a walking barbell. It's hard to imagine somebody with just 18 rushes for 65 yards, 18 catches for 115 yards and one touchdown in five seasons as the key to the Gamecocks' offense. Yet hear him talk about his role. Hear his coaches talk about it.

"A guy like Prentice was a guy that was a little bit more than a sixth lineman," said offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, Prentice's head coach at Colorado State and a large reason why Prentice chose USC for his final season. "He could do a lot of stuff, he could play wing for us, he could insert, he could catch the ball. "Your 'move guy' is what we would call him," USC head coach Will Muschamp said, alluding to Prentice's ability at fullback and tight end. "But obviously he's going to contribute a lot on special teams as well." Prentice paused to consider the question during spring practice. "Fifty-fifty fullback and running back," he answered. "More tight end/wing, gut position and fullback. Kind of just depends." That versatility is part of what's made Prentice the player to watch when football returns. He may not tote the ball a lot, may not reach the end zone like the two players he is already being compared to, USC-to-NFL stars Patrick DiMarco and Hayden Hurst. - Rock Hill Herald
