Gamecocks held its seventh preseason practice Friday afternoon.
- The rain clouds in Columbia couldn’t put a damper on transfer running back Mario Anderson’s Friday afternoon. During the stretching portion of the Gamecocks practice, Anderson jauntily made his way to the front of the team and danced along to music blasting over the speakers. He punctuated his energetic choreography with a split, met by raucous applause from his fellow athletes and coaches.
- Antwane Wells, who finished second in receiving yards in the SEC last year, was also absent from practice. He has not been in the rotation during the three viewing periods media members observed this fall. He is not believed to be injured.
- Tight end transfer Trey Knox, a presumptive starter at tight end, was not spotted at practice. A team spokesman didn’t have any official updates as to Knox’s whereabouts.
- Veteran player Luke Doty donned a green quarterback jersey and practiced with the other signal callers Friday. TheBigSpur reported earlier this week that the redshirt junior was taking some reps at wide receiver. Doty, the presumed backup to Spencer Rattler, began his freshman year training as a wide receiver amid the quarterback battle between Collin Hill and Ryan Hilinski under former Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp.
