South Carolina football depth chart: Ole Miss Week
SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL
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
Ole Miss Week
OFFENSE
Quarterback
19 Jake Bentley - Jr.
12 Michael Scarnecchia - Sr.
NOTES: Jake Bentley is back at or near 100 percent and will move forward as South Carolina's starting quarterback for the second half of the season with Michael Scarnecchia serving as his backup.
Running back
5 Rico Dowdle - Jr.
OR
27 Ty'Son Williams - RsJr.
25 A.J. Turner - RsJr.
34 Mon Denson - RsJr.
NOTES: Ty'Son Williams received the start versus Tennessee this past week but it was Rico Dowdle who responded with his best game of the season against the Vols. Will the staff elect to take a similar approach or reward Dowdle for his big production?
Wide receiver (left outside)
1 Deebo Samuel - Sr.
6 Josh Vann - Fr.
86 Chad Terrell - So. (status unknown - knee inflammation)
Wide receiver (right outside)
89 Bryan Edwards - Jr.
6 Josh Vann - Fr.
83 Chavis Dawkins - Jr.
(OUT FOR SEASON - OrTre Smith)
Wide receiver (slot)
13 Shi Smith - So.
8 Randrecous Davis - RsSo. (status unknown - toe sprain)
NOTES: Other than noting a couple of injuries, the wide receiver depth chart remains unchanged.
Tight end (Y)
40 Jacob August - Sr.
84 Kyle Markway - Jr.
Tight end (H)
87 Kiel Pollard - Jr.
OR
3 K.C. Crosby - Sr. (finger injury)
NOTES: K.C. Crosby has dealt with a broken finger suffered against Vanderbilt and has been limited in what he can do due to the cast on his hand. We've left the "OR" in place there between his name and Kiel Pollard. While Pollard played more snaps against Tennessee, Crosby did see his snaps increase.
Left tackle
74 Dennis Daley - Sr. (status unknown - ankle injury)
OR
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
79 Dylan Wonnum - Fr.
63 Blake Camper - Sr.
NOTES: Some notable changes on the OL depth chart this week as Dylan Wonnum made his first career start at right tackle last week and played all 58 offensive snaps. Starting left tackle Dennis Daley's status is also up in the air with an ankle injury suffered against Tennessee. If Daley can't go, then Malik Young will start in his place.
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
8 D.J. Wonnum - Jr.
15 Aaron Sterling - So.
91 Shameik Blackshear - RsJR.
BUCK
4 Bryson Allen-Williams - RsSr.
35 Daniel Fennell - RsJr.
19 Brad Johnson - So.
NOTES: D.J. Wonnum returned from injury against Tennessee but was slotted at the defensive end spot as opposed to the BUCK position he played his first two seasons in Columbia. That means that Bryson Allen-Williams remains the starter at the BUCK rather than sliding back to the SAM backer spot.
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.
30 Damani Staley - So.
(OUT FOR SEASON - Eldridge Thompson)
NOTES: With Bryson Allen-Williams remaining at BUCK, Daniel Fennell remains the SAM linebacker.
Safety
22 Steven Montac - Sr.
OR
10 R.J. Roderick - Fr.
1 Nick Harvey - RsSr. (OUT THIS WEEK - concussion protocol)
Safety
21 Jamyest Williams - So.
17 Javon Charleston - Sr.
29 J.T. Ibe - RsSr. (OUT THIS WEEK - knee)
Nickel
7 Jaycee Horn - Fr.
21 Jamyest Williams - So.
Cornerback
7 Jaycee Horn - Fr.
9 Keisean Nixon - Sr.
Cornerback
16 Rashad Fenton - RsSr.
24 Israel Mukuamu - Fr.
NOTES: Freshman safety R.J. Roderick played most of the second half at safety in place of Steven Montac which means we now list an "OR" between the two players. Jaycee Horn is a starting cornerback in the Gamecocks' base D, but slides to nickel in that package with Keisean Nixon taking over at cornerback. Safeties J.T. Ibe and Nick Harvey are still out this week with injuries.
