  10/13/26 - Dylan Stewart, Jr/2028, South Carolina, 6-5, 250 (DS#1 DE) + More +

  10/12 WEEK 6 SEC CO-DEFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: South Carolina's Dylan Stewart, a junior edge rusher from Washington, D.C., had five tackles, 1.0 sack and two forced fumbles to help lead the Gamecocks to a 38-19 road win at No. 16/15 Florida. He was part of a defense that forced a season-high three turnovers and held the nation's No. 5 scoring offense (46.2 points per game) to 19 points on its home field. It was Stewart's third career game with multiple forced fumbles. He is one of just 18 FBS players with multiple forced fumbles in a game this season and one of only two to do it in an SEC game, and he is the only Gamecock defender in the last 21 seasons with multiple games of multiple forced fumbles. - SEC Football

  10/12 WEEK 6 SEC CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers, a senior quarterback from Florence, S.C., accounted for 299 yards of total offense and five touchdowns to lead the Gamecocks to a 38-19 road win over No. 16/15 Florida, the program's third all-time win in Gainesville and first since 2014. He completed 23-of-35 passes (65.7 percent) for 279 yards and four touchdowns to four different receivers, and connected with eight different receivers overall. Sellers also ran for 20 yards and a touchdown as South Carolina went on a 38-6 scoring run after trailing 7-0 late in the first quarter. His 15 career rushing touchdowns are tied for third-most in program history by a quarterback, alongside Stephen Garcia (2008-11) and Garry Harper (1978-80). The Gamecocks' 38 points were the most in a road win over an AP Top 25 team in program history. It was Sellers' fifth game this season with at least 250 yards of total offense, which leads the SEC and is tied for fourth nationally. His 17 career games with 250 or more yards of total offense are the most by any Gamecock since 1995. - SEC Football

  09/28/26 - Dylan Stewart, Jr/2028, South Carolina, 6-5, 250 (DS#1 DE) + More +

  The Southeastern Conference and South Carolina have jointly suspended Gamecocks edge rusher Dylan Stewart for throwing a punch at an Alabama player over the weekend. South Carolina coach Shane Beamer suspended Stewart indefinitely on Sunday for punching Alabama tight end Josh Ford in the helmet in the fourth quarter of the Gamecocks' 49-18 loss at No. 7 Alabama on Saturday. Beamer already ruled Stewart out for Saturday's game against No. 24 Kentucky prior to the one-game suspension issued on Monday. "Dylan Stewart's egregious contact reflects behavior that is unacceptable and not aligned with the standards of the Southeastern Conference," SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement. "Such action against an opponent carries a serious risk of injury and has no place in our conference competition. This suspension is appropriate, and any future misconduct by Dylan Stewart will result in more severe disciplinary action." The one-game suspension is separate from Beamer's indefinite suspension.

Stewart was an Associated Press preseason All-America first-team pick and is widely projected to be a first-round pick in next year's NFL draft. He missed the first two games of the season because of a back injury. "Our expectation at South Carolina, is that our student-athletes conduct themselves with the highest level of integrity at all times," South Carolina athletic director Jeremiah Donati said. "Keeping one's composure, even in the most competitive environments, is our standard. That standard was not met in this instance and we support the league's decision along with our head coach's decision regarding the current disciplinary measures enacted in this case." - AP College Football

  09/14 WEEK 2 SEC CO-SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Vicari Swain, South Carolina, Position: Defensive Back,...South Carolina's Vicari Swain, a senior defensive back from Carrollton, Ga., cemented his name in the record books Saturday night with the fourth and fifth punt return touchdowns of his career, breaking a 55-year-old school record for most career punt return touchdowns previously held by Dick Harris (1969-1971). The All-SEC punt returner went 58 yards for a score with 9:37 to go in the first quarter and 45 yards to the house just before the end of the third quarter in helping the Gamecocks to a 45-9 victory over Towson at Williams-Brice Stadium. Since 1995, 32 different players across FBS have returned multiple punts for touchdowns in a game, and Swain became the first player on that list to do it twice, having had two punt return touchdowns in a 38-10 win over SC State last season. He finished the game with three returns for 122 yards (40.7 average) and also blocked an extra point attempt by the Towson kicker with 7:03 remaining in the third quarter. - SEC Football

  LaNorris Sellers threw three touchdown passes among five TD drives as South Carolina whipped Kent State 57-0 on Saturday in the season-opener for each team. Sellers, beginning his third season as starting quarterback under a third offensive coordinator, showed no hesitation in running the system installed by Kendal Briles, the Gamecocks' new $2 million-plus offensive coordinator. He looked smooth and sure as the first quarterback in an attack that piled up 645 yards and featured scores by six different players. Sellers finished 19-of-23 passing for 270 yards.

Donovan Murph caught two touchdowns while Jabree Coleman rushed for two more for South Carolina. Mazeo Bennett, Mike Tyler, Matt Fuller and Isaiah Augustave also scored one TD each. Dru DeShields passed for 63 yards and rushed for 27 to lead Kent State. Fuller started the scoring in the first quarter with a 7-yard jaunt into the end zone, after receiver Nyck Harbor was ruled to have stepped out of bounds on a TD pass from Sellers. The Gamecocks scored three more touchdowns in the second, highlighted by a 60-yard sprint from Coleman, a transfer from Penn State thought to be at best the third-string running back on the roster. - South Carolina/AP College Football

  LaNorris Sellers ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more, including a 75-yard strike to his younger brother Jayden on the game's first snap, in South Carolina's 51-7 rout of Coastal Carolina on Saturday night. The Gamecocks (4-7) were coming in off a disheartening 31-30 loss at No. 3 Texas A&M where they led 30-3 at halftime. But the players didn't let that collapse beat them once more, overwhelming the Chanticleers (6-5) to lead 20-0 less than eight minutes in. Sellers, whose escapability, strong arm and running skill had him atop many preseason Heisman Trophy lists, showed off all of it in ending South Carolina's five-game losing streak. He finished 16 of 20 passing for 274 yards and led the Gamecocks with 82 yards rushing before heading to the bench after the third quarter. Sellers hooked up with his speedy, younger brother Jayden Sellers on the first snap for a short pass then broke for a 75-yard TD. The elder Sellers pushed through for a 2-yard score on the team's second drive.

After Coastal Carolina passer Tad Hudson fumbled while getting hit by lineman Bryan Thomas Jr. deep in Chants' territory, tight end Brady Hunt scored three plays later for a 20-0 lead. Coastal, of the Sun Belt Conference, could not match up with an opponent that entered with a five-game losing streak and 1-7 record in the Southeastern Conference. South Carolina had 419 of its 579 yards by halftime. Its defense held Coastal Carolina to 46 yards rushing, far below its 194 average coming in. The Chanticleers ended the shutout with a blocked punt by receiver Jameson Tucker, who picked it up and went 17 yards for the score with less than 10 minutes left to play. Jayden Sellers had four catches for 127 yards while Hunt finished with a pair of rushing touchdowns. The Gamecocks played without leading receiver Nyck Harbor and defensive line starter Dylan Stewart. Harbor went to the hospital as a precaution after hurting his chest late in the Texas A&M loss. Stewart warmed up but felt back pain and was held out. - South Carolina/AP College Football

  11/22/25 - Nyck Harbor, Sr/2027, South Carolina, 6-5, 239 (DS#3 WR) + More +

  South Carolina receiver Nyck Harbor, who leads the team with five touchdown catches and 21 yards per reception this season, won't play for the Gamecocks against Coastal Carolina on Saturday. Harbor, a 6-foot-5 junior from Washington, D.C., was out wearing sweats during warmups a week after getting injured when a player fell awkwardly on his chest in the second half of South Carolina's 31-30 loss at No. 3 Texas A&M. Harbor went to a Texas hospital as a precaution and returned to campus on Sunday. Harbor also had an odd incident after an 80-yard catch-and-run TD in the second quarter against the Aggies. He went into the tunnel after running through the end zone as a few teammates followed. On their way out, a Texas state trooper bumped into Harbor, then turned and pointed at him. The trooper was sent home soon afterward, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. - AP College Football

  South Carolina has fired offensive coordinator Mike Shula just nine games into his first season in the role. Shula, who served as Alabama coach from 2003 to 2006, gained most of his coaching experience in the NFL as an offensive assistant. He joined coach Shane Beamer's staff in Columbia as an offensive analyst in March 2024. Shula began this season with the title of offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, replacing offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains, who left South Carolina to be the head coach at Appalachian State.

Shula inherited a Gamecocks offense that was led by quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who entered the season with some Heisman Trophy buzz. But Sellers has struggled as a sophomore with seven touchdown passes and five interceptions through nine games this season. South Carolina ranks last in the SEC in both points (19.7) and yards per game (294.1). The Gamecocks have lost four straight games to fall to 3-6 (1-6 SEC), putting Beamer squarely on the hot seat. South Carolina is off this week before resuming play Nov. 15 at No. 3 Texas A&M. - ESPN College Football

  South Carolina's defense returned two turnovers for touchdowns within a span of three plays on Saturday night and the Gamecocks beat Kentucky, 35-13. The Wildcats (2-2, 0-2 SEC) were gashing South Carolina with the run and held a 10-7 lead in the second quarter. Quarterback Cutter Boley was sacked by Dylan Stewart, the ball popped loose and defensive lineman Jatius Geer retrieved it, chugging 40 yards for a touchdown.

Two plays later, Boley cast into the secondary but his pass clanged off the hands of Kendrick Law. South Carolina's Gerald Kilgore gobbled the carom and sprinted 45 yards to the end zone. Trailing 21-10, the Wildcats tried to get their offense back in gear. Boley again threw deep but was belted by Desmond Umeozulu on the throw. South Carolina's Brandon Cisse intercepted to start another touchdown drive. The Gamecocks (3-2, 1-2) added another touchdown in the fourth quarter while Kentucky only managed a field goal after its quick 10-0 start. - AP College Football

  The Gamecocks' maligned offense had a respectable night, scoring three touchdowns of their own to match the defense's two, but still struggled to run the ball (48 rushes, 178 yards). Quarterback LaNorris Sellers was better at escaping sacks but still took too many avoidable hits by not throwing the ball away. - AP College Football
