Below is Gamecock Central's projected depth chart for the South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Florida.
While the South Carolina football team doesn't release an updated depth chart each week, Gamecock Central will do its best to update our own projected depth chart based on the Gamecocks' injury news, playing time trends in the most recent game, public information from Tuesday press conferences, and behind-the-scenes info we've gathered.
OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK
15 Collin Hill - RsSr.
3 Ryan Hilinski - So.
4 Luke Doty - Fr.
NOTES: No changes to the QB depth chart this week.
RUNNING BACK
20 Kevin Harris - Fr.
OR
11 ZaQuandre White - RsJr.
OR
14 Deshaun Fenwick - RsJr.
NOTES: We'll leave the OR designation that South Carolina used in its depth chart last week and add ZaQuandre White to the depth chart as well. All three played similar snaps last week with Harris getting the start.
WIDE RECEIVER
13 Shi Smith - So.
4 Luke Doty - Fr.
WIDE RECEIVER
17 Xavier Legette - So.
84 Rico Powers - Fr.
WIDE RECEIVER
7 Dakereon Joyner - RsSo.
6 Josh Vann - Jr.
89 Ger-Cari Caldwell - Fr.
NOTES: The three true freshmen were listed as the backups on last week's depth chart, but it's Josh Vann who was the first reserve receiver to go in. Rico Powers also got a few snaps and Luke Doty is expected to play this week.
LEFT TACKLE
79 Dylan Wonnum - Jr.
75 Jazston Turnetine - Jr.
LEFT GUARD
50 Sadarius Hutcherson - RsSr.
76 Jordan Rhodes - RsJr.
CENTER
71 Eric Douglas - RsJr.
74 Vinny Murphy - RsFr.
RIGHT GUARD
54 Jovaughn Gwyn - RsFr.
68 Wyatt Campbell - RsSo.
RIGHT TACKLE
55 Jakai Moore - RsFr.
52 Jaylen Nichols - So.
OR
77 Vershon Lee - Fr.
NOTES: The Gamecocks continue to work through their right tackle position but redshirt freshman Jakai Moore is still working with the ones in practice so far this week.
TIGHT END
9 Nick Muse - Sr.
82 KeShawn Toney - RsFr.
TIGHT END
80 Keveon Mullins - RsFr.
88 Will Register - RsJr.
NOTES: No changes to the tight end depth chart.
FULLBACK
46 Adam Prentice - RsSr.
48 Sean McGonigal Jr. - RsJr.
DEFENSE
DEFENSIVE END
15 Aaron Sterling - Jr.
91 Tonka Hemingway - Fr.
DEFENSIVE TACKLE
5 Keir Thomas - Sr.
6 Zacch Pickens - So.
DEFENSIVE TACKLE
99 Jabari Ellis - RsSr.
90 Rick Sandidge - Jr.
BUCK
52 J.J. Enagbare - Jr.
3 Jordan Burch - Fr.
NOTES: No changes to the DL depth chart.
MIKE LINEBACKER
53 Ernest Jones - So.
45 Spencer Eason-Riddle - RsSr.
WILL LINEBACKER
30 Damani Staley - Sr.
32 Mohamed Kaba - Fr.
(OUT - 44 Sherrod Greene - USUAL STARTER - 4-6 wks with hip injury)
SAM LINEBACKER
19 Brad Johnson - RsJr.
45 Spencer Eason-Riddle - RsSr.
NOTES: With the news that Sherrod Greene is out 4-6 weeks, the Gamecocks' LB depth gets tested right off the bat. With Damani Staley sliding into the starting role, it also affects the MIKE where Staley was also the backup. Spencer Eason-Riddle likely becomes the backup at the MIKE too.
SAFETY
10 R.J. Roderick - Jr.
21 Shilo Sanders - RsFr. (Starter in nickel package)
SAFETY
7 Jammie Robinson - So.
4 Jaylin Dickerson - RsJr.

NICKEL
7 Jammie Robinson - So.
1 Jaycee Horn - Jr.
DIME
40 Jahmar Brown - So. (DAY-TO-DAY with knee injury)
10 R.J. Roderick - Jr.
NOTES: Izzy Mukuamu is day-to-day and Cam Smith or John Dixon will likely get the start if he can't go. Shilo Sanders slid in at safety Saturday as the fifth DB when Jammie Robinson played nickelback but Jaylin Dickerson also got some reps.
