Gamecocks depth chart: Missouri

It's long been football tradition for teams to release a depth chart each week, though current college football norms seem to be changing in that regard.

While South Carolina produces an official depth chart at the beginning of each season, this is Gamecock Central's best effort to produce a weekly depth chart based on current playing time trends, injuries and information gathered.

OFFENSE

Quarterback

19 Jake Bentley - Jr. (knee injury - day to day)

OR

12 Michael Scarnecchia - Sr.

NOTES: Jake Bentley is still the clear starter, but he's currently day-to-day with a knee injury suffered against Kentucky, though Will Muschamp said it wasn't serious.

Running back

5 Rico Dowdle - Jr.

25 A.J. Turner - RsJr.

OR

27 Ty'Son Williams - RsJr. (ankle injury - likely to play)

34 Mon Denson - RsJr.

NOTES: Rico Dowdle is the clear starter here. Ty'Son Williams missed the Kentucky game with an ankle injury but is expected back this week. A.J. Turner served as the second-team back in that game.

Wide receiver (left outside)

1 Deebo Samuel - Sr.

6 Josh Vann - Fr.

Wide receiver (right outside)

89 Bryan Edwards - Jr. (ankle injury - status unknown)

OR

83 Chavis Dawkins - Jr.

(OUT FOR SEASON - OrTre Smith)

Wide receiver (slot)

13 Shi Smith - So.

8 Randrecous Davis - RsSo.

NOTES: Chavis Dawkins has served as Bryan Edwards' top backup the last two weeks. Sophomore wide receiver OrTre Smith is out for the season and will have surgery this week. The rest of the receiver depth chart remains the same.

Tight end (Y)

40 Jacob August - Sr.

84 Kyle Markway - Jr.

Tight end (H)

3 K.C. Crosby - Sr. (finger injury)

OR

87 Kiel Pollard - Jr.

NOTES: K.C. Crosby is dealing with a broken finger suffered against Vanderbilt and Kiel Pollard filled in for him against Kentucky.

Left tackle

74 Dennis Daley - Sr.

77 Malik Young - RsSr.

Left guard

78 Zack Bailey - Sr.

72 Donell Stanley - RsJr.

(OUT FOR SEASON - Jovaughn Gwyn)

Center

72 Donell Stanley - RsJr.

60 Chandler Farrell - RsSo.

Right guard

50 Sadarius Hutcherson - RsSo.

76 Jordan Rhodes - RsFr.

Right tackle

63 Blake Camper - Sr.

79 Dylan Wonnum - Fr.

NOTES: Freshman Jovaughn Gwyn is listed as the backup left guard on the official Week 1 depth chart, but he's since been ruled out for the season with an injury. In Kentucky this past week, we got our answer on what would happen if Zack Bailey exited a game. The answer: Donell Stanley slides back to left guard and Chandler Farrell enters the game at center.

DEFENSE

Defensive tackle (NT)

3 Javon Kinlaw - Jr.

95 Kobe Smith - Jr.

94 MJ Webb - RsFr.

Defensive tackle (3 tech)

5 Keir Thomas - Jr.

52 J.J. Enagbare - Fr.

90 Rick Sandidge - Fr.

Defensive end

15 Aaron Sterling - So.

91 Shameik Blackshear - RsJR.

BUCK

4 Bryson Allen-Williams - RsSr.

35 Daniel Fennell - RsJr.

19 Brad Johnson - So.

(OUT - D.J. Wonnum)

NOTES: There's no perfect way to list a depth chart here because South Carolina morphs between a three-man and four-man front and also uses some players at multiple positions. Against Kentucky South Carolina reverted back to Kier Thomas playing more inside at defensive tackle and against a spread team like Missouri, you'll likely see him there alongside Javon Kinlaw with Bryson Allen-Williams and Aaron Sterling on the edges.

Linebacker (SAM)

35 Daniel Fennell - RsJr.

4 Bryson Allen-Williams - RsSr.

Linebacker (MIKE)

6 T.J. Brunson - Jr.

42 Rosendo Louis - Fr.

Linebacker (WILL)

44 Sherrod Greene - So.

11 Eldridge Thompson - RsSr. (shoulder injury - status unknown)

NOTES: Eldridge Thompson didn't travel to Kentucky due to a shoulder injury. Muschamp will likely update his status for this week in Tuesday's press conference.

Safety

22 Steven Montac - Sr.

21 Jamyest Williams - So. (injured shoulder - status unknown)

17 Javon Charleston - Sr.

Safety

29 J.T. Ibe - RsSr. (knee injury - status unknown)

1 Nick Harvey - RsSr.

Nickel

7 Jaycee Horn - Fr.

21 Jamyest Williams - So. (injured shoulder - status unknown)

Cornerback

9 Keisean Nixon - Sr.

7 Jaycee Horn - Fr.

Cornerback

16 Rashad Fenton - RsSr.

24 Israel Mukuamu - Fr.

NOTES: With Jamyest Williams dealing with a shoulder injury and J.T. Ibe dealing with a knee injury, we've added Javon Charleston to the safety depth chart this week since he'd likely be the next in the game if Steven Montac or Nick Harvey had to come out.
