Dennis Daley heading to NFL Combine

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL

At least one Gamecock will be showcasing his talent on a national level during the draft process.

Dennis Daley announced Monday night he will be competing in the NFL Combine, the first Gamecock to officially accept his invite.

Coming over from Georgia Military Academy, Daley stepped on campus and quickly vaulted into the starting lineup as the team's left guard and started there in all but one game since earning the starting job until he graduated in December.

Since graduating and playing in the Belk Bowl he's been training in preparation for the combine and individual workouts with the team.

The NFL Combine starts Feb. 26 and continue through March 4 with players going through workouts and different interviews with teams and other agents and scouts.

It will be held in Indianapolis and could feature other Gamecocks in the draft like Deebo Samuel or a few other South Carolina seniors.

For any Gamecock that is not selected to compete in the combine, South Carolina always holds a pro day before the draft on campus for any player wanting to workout in front of NFL scouts.
