Kingsley Enagbare, South Carolina Football News: Draft Scout Player News

04/10/21 - DE Kingsley Enagbare, Sr/2022, South Carolina

Call them what you want: Bucks, Edges, pass rushers. All Kingsley Enagbare knows is this - his position group for South Carolina football has some dogs. For a defensive unit undergoing major changes at linebacker and defensive back, the Gamecocks return a lot of talent along the defensive line. And on the ends in particular, they have a plethora of playmakers. Enagbare, who finished last year tops on the team and tied for fifth in the SEC in sacks, is back for his senior season. Fifth-year senior Aaron Sterling returns after struggling with injury last season, looking to regain the form that made him the team's co-sack leader in 2019 with Javon Kinlaw. And behind them are the Jordans - sophomore and former five-star recruit Jordan Burch is hoping to build off a freshman season in which he flashed major potential, and transfer Jordan Strachan is coming in from Georgia State, where he was nation's co-leader in sacks last season.

"We definitely see ourselves as the strength of this team...We have several dogs in our room," Enagbare said. "And, yeah, we definitely came to break records and do all that and just shock the world and show what we're about." Enagbare and Sterling have combined for 20 career sacks at South Carolina, while Strachan had 10.5 in last season alone. Burch has yet to get his first collegiate sack, but with his enormous ability, it's only a matter of time. So will there be a little friendly competition in the edge room to see who can take down the QB the most this spring or fall? "I'm always inviting competition, but it's really not competition," Enagbare said. "We're all just going at it, trying to make plays and produce...I'm expecting a lot of production from all of us." - Rock Hill Herald
