Below is Gamecock Central's projected depth chart for the South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Vanderbilt.
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.
14 Deshaun Fenwick - RsJr.
11 ZaQuandre White - RsJr.
NOTES: After all three running backs played similar snaps in week 1, it seemed there was a clear pecking order in week 2 and that's reflected above.
WIDE RECEIVER
13 Shi Smith - So.
4 Luke Doty - Fr.
WIDE RECEIVER
17 Xavier Legette - So.
84 Rico Powers - Fr.
WIDE RECEIVER
6 Josh Vann - Jr.
5 Dakereon Joyner - RsSo.
89 Ger-Cari Caldwell - Fr.
NOTES: Based on playing time last week, we've flipped Josh Vann and Dakereon Joyner. Joyner started Week 1, but it's Vann who got the start as the third receiver in Gainesville. Rico Powers played all the snaps at the X after Xavier Legette exited with a minor groin injury but he's back at practice.

75 Jazston Turnetine - Jr.

54 Jovaughn Gwyn - RsFr.
68 Wyatt Campbell - RsSo.
RIGHT TACKLE
55 Jakai Moore - RsFr.
77 Vershon Lee - Fr.
52 Jaylen Nichols - So.

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 started at safety in Gainesville but that was primarily due to the staff trying to protect his injured groin. Mukuamu will be available to play cornerback this week but Johnny Dixon played well at the position, which could lead the staff to playing Mukuamu at safety and starting Dixon at cornerback again.
