  Draft Scout by Conference









  Dakereon Joyner has been a quarterback his entire life, and a very good one. So it's extremely strange to arrive for practice at South Carolina every day and catch passes instead of throwing them. Ask him and he'd probably say if there was a chance for him to start at quarterback, he'd jump. Yet as he transitions to receiver, a move that started over a year ago but has twice been interrupted by lengthy delays, he's at peace. He's comfortable in his new role at receiver, and comfortable that he's not looking over his shoulder, wondering if he'll again be asked to come back to QB. He wouldn't mind doing it if the Gamecocks' quarterback room was waylaid by some malady (and during these troubled times, that's a distinct possibility), but he's also eager to show what he can do at receiver. "I think it's a big confidence thing for me. I think it has helped me tremendously," Joyner said. "Just got to continue to improve, do what I do best and help the team win." The speed, athleticism and savvy that earned him the state's 2017 "Mr. Football" Award has been a constant in Joyner's career and was a benefit to him last year as he battled Ryan Hilinski for the backup QB job. The staff liked what he could do but Hilinski represented more of what they needed at the spot, so they gently told Joyner that Hilinski would back up starter Jake Bentley. - The Post and Courier
