Previous 15 Notes |Back to Page One| Next 15 Notes


  Poised for a 2022 standout season: Former Oklahoma starting quarterback Spencer Rattler appears poised to take over the Gamecocks offense. South Carolina would love it if he could replicate a terrific redshirt freshman season in 2020. Rattler was 15-2 as a starter for the Sooners, completing 70.1% of his passes for 4,595 yards. He passed for 40 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. - AP College Football

  The pass was completed and a teammate already had South Carolina receiver Josh Vann wrapped, but Sherrod Greene ran over to help get Vann to the ground. Quarterback Luke Doty took another snap and couldn't find his man, so he kept the ball and began to run. Greene, a mischievous grin stretched around his mouthpiece, bee-lined toward him on an arrow's trajectory. Doty knew he was supposed to step out of bounds and did, which was fine. Greene wasn't really going to smack him. Probably. "Pretty much, my main goal is just staying healthy," South Carolina's "super senior" sixth-year linebacker said. "I know if I have a full complete season, I got big plans ahead of me." His energy and unfettered enthusiasm in the Gamecocks' Garnet and Black Spring Game weren't surprising.

It's what head coach Shane Beamer wants to see no matter if it's a meaningless scrimmage. But after playing in only four games over the past two seasons, Greene learned that every chance to play can't be discounted. He's spent far too much time on the sideline, willing to give up anything he'd be asked to sacrifice if he could get just one more play. "Having back-to-back season-ending injuries, it can take a toll on you. I had good support in my corner," he said. "My family and my mom kept my head on straight. It wasn't as bad as it may seem, but it was a good trial for me." - The Post and Courier

  05/04/22 - Parker White, rSr/2022, South Carolina, 6-4, 207 (DS#5 K) + More +

  South Carolina's all-time leading scorer is heading to the NFL. Former Gamecocks kicker Parker White will participate in a rookie mini-camp with the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week, he told The State on Monday. Such a mini-camp is essentially a three-day tryout. In a perfect world, he'll only need the first weekend to land a spot on a roster. He surpassed Elliott Fry as the school's all-time leading scorer with a 30-yard field goal against North Carolina in the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Dec. 30. He finished his six years at South Carolina with 368 career points.

He also finished his college career ranked among the top three in program history in made field goals (T1st-72), field goals attempted (1st-99), extra points made (2nd-152) and extra point attempts (2nd-154). "He's automatic. He's clutch," head coach Shane Beamer said in November. "I don't know if there's a better kicker in the country." White concedes that the sixth year of eligibility he received via the NCAA's decision to grant another year to all players who played during the COVID-19 pandemic was a blessing in disguise. - Rock Hill Herald

  05/03/22 - Nate Adkins, rSr/2023, South Carolina, 6-3, 252 (DS#61 TE) + More +

  Tight end Nate Adkins - the son of USC offensive line coach Greg Adkins - announced his commitment to the Gamecocks on Tuesday afternoon on his Twitter account. He is the ninth transfer in South Carolina's 2022 class. A junior from East Tennessee State, Adkins caught 33 passes for 357 yards last season, scoring a touchdown. He's caught 73 passes for 749 yards in his career. He's the second major addition to the tight end room for the Gamecocks, who also added Oklahoma transfer Austin Stogner to pair with quarterback Spencer Rattler. - Rock Hill Herald

  Fifteen practices, including a scrimmage open to the public, and umpteen meetings spliced with individual skill work. Such is the college football spring season, AKA the appetizer that's never enough to sate the taste that will linger for the next four months. South Carolina's Garnet & Black Spring Game ended on April 16 and intact were the same feelings as before it. The spotlight was on starting quarterback Spencer Rattler and he did well. Not flawless, not horrendous, not flashy, just well. He was 8-of-10 for 79 yards and made some plays with his legs, rushing six times for 29 yards (but a net of minus-17 due to taking four sacks).

It wasn't Rattler's fault his protection was leaky but he showed the awareness of when it was coming, and an ability to get rid of the ball. That was also a nod to offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield, who mostly kept one receiver close by Rattler just in case he needed a bailout. "We made some plays, for sure. Obviously, we wanted to have more explosives. We connected on some quick-gain stuff," Rattler said. "That defense has been seeing all of our plays the whole spring so they're going to have an idea of what we're doing, but we still got to execute, no matter what." Nothing against what last year's rotation of QBs and what they had to go through, but Rattler stabilizes the position. Everything offensively flows from there. - The Post and Courier

  Sherrod Greene was on his way to becoming a star linebacker at South Carolina. Injuries knocked that path off course the past two years. In 2020, Greene fractured his hip in the season opener against Tennessee and missed the rest of the year. In 2021, the North Carolina native suffered a right ankle injury on the second play of the Sept. 18 game against Georgia and was lost for the season. Rather than calling it a career or possibly entering the NFL Draft, Greene announced in December that he would be back at USC for a sixth season. "Got so much left to give!! I'm not done yet," Greene said in a Twitter post two days before Christmas. Greene opened up this spring about how hard the struggles the past two years have been.

He credited those in his inner circle for keeping his spirits up during a challenging portion of his career. "It was tough because the year before that I broke my hip," Greene said. "Just having back-to-back season-ending injuries could take a toll on me, but I had good support in my corner with my family, and my mom kept my head on straight. So it wasn't as bad as it may seem, but it was a good trial for me." The Gamecocks coaching staff brought Greene along slowly this spring and monitored him, and they'll do the same in the fall so he can be ready to play each week. - Rock Hill Herald

  For the first time since South Carolina shook the college football world with the signing of transfer quarterback Spencer Rattler, head coach Shane Beamer was able to speak publicly on the move. Speaking with College Sports Today on ESPNU Radio on Wednesday afternoon, Beamer shared the excitement of landing Rattler, a transfer QB from Oklahoma, along with Sooners tight end Austin Stogner. Beamer got to know Rattler while he was an assistant coach on Lincoln Riley's Oklahoma staff. "I think it's huge," Beamer said. "I know it's huge. One, because of the kind of player he is. I was around him at Oklahoma. I know what kind of player he is and what kind of person he is, and I'm excited about adding him to our roster. But then just his name and the reputation he has and the excitement and buzz it generated for South Carolina football was amazing." Rattler and Stogner both announced their commitments to the Gamecocks late Monday night before officially signing financial aid agreements on Tuesday night - the eve of college football's early signing period.

Beamer said the news of Rattler's signing energized the team's recruits. "The news comes out a couple nights ago ... and immediately the amount of recruits that were texting me about it, normally it's me communicating with them through text and FaceTime - but they're hitting me up about their excitement that Spencer Rattler is coming here," Beamer said. "I think it makes a great statement about what this program's about. Spencer could've gone anywhere in the country and chose to come here for his 2022 season of football." - Rock Hill Herald

  South Carolina's bowl roster picture is getting clearer. All-SEC defensive lineman Kingsley "JJ" Enagbare announced on Monday that he is forgoing his remaining eligibility to enter the NFL Draft. Enagbare's projections are wide-ranging, but he's been slotted as high as a first round pick depending on the outlet. "I'm thankful to Coach Muschamp and his staff for recruiting me, believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play at South Carolina," he wrote in a Twitter announcement. "I am also grateful for the opportunity to play under Coach Beamer and the new staff. To all the coaches, trainers and support staff who encouraged me and pushed me throughout the years, I thank you." Enagbare is the latest in a long line of productive defensive line prospects to come out of South Carolina in recent years. He finished his 2021 campaign with 41 tackles, five tackles for a loss, and 2.5 sacks. - Rock Hill Herald
