  Will Muschamp mentioned it last week. Redshirt junior OrTre Smith, a Mount Pleasant native and Wando High alum, wasn't having problems with the balky knee that's affected his last two seasons but "had a little bit of an issue." The issue was concerns about coronavirus. Muschamp announced on his call-in show on Thursday that Smith will opt out of the season. It's been a checkered path for Smith, who burst onto the scene in 2017 with 30 catches and three touchdowns while starting 10 of 13 games. He only got into two games in 2018 before a chronically dislocating kneecap (a genetic condition) ended his season.

He was limited in 2019 while recovering and caught nine passes with a touchdown in nine games. Expected to have the chance to really step forward in a receiver room with only one known producer - senior Shi Smith - OrTre Smith will instead take a season away. His scholarship will remain intact and because the NCAA is allowing every player to have 2020 as a year that doesn't use eligibility, Smith can still have two seasons of football if he wants to use them. - The Post and Courier
