Gamecocks held its seventh practice of fall camp on Friday here are a few news and notes
08/12/2022
The family of former Gamecock QB Phil Petty was at practice. His son, McCoy, hung out with receivers Josh Vann and Ahmarean Brown, while the rest of the Petty family spent the afternoon with Shane Beamer’s family along the sidelines. Ex-Gamecocks running back Ryan Brewer was also on hand Friday with the Pettys
On the field:
Running backs MarShawn Lloyd and Christian Beal-Smith didn’t appear to be at practice on Friday. Lloyd has been considered a front-runner for the starting tailback job. Also Beal-Smith a graduate transfer from Wake Forest. A South Carolina spokesperson said could address any absences during his press conference scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
Quarterback Spencer Rattler looked sharp in the brief segment of practice open to reporters. He completed all five of his longer passes up the seams during positional work and connected with a handful of different receivers during red zone passing drills. Walk-on quarterbacks Jake Helfrich and Jalen Daniels were not present during the media time window
The upper portion of receiver Dakereon Joyner’s right leg was wrapped and largely covered with what looked to be a compression sleeve. He did not appear to be limited during the open portion of practice. The Gamecocks didn’t run any full team offense during the viewing time allotted, but the skeleton first-team offense skill position looked as follows: RB Juju McDowell, TE Austin Stogner, WR Antwane “Juice” Wells Jr., WR Xavier Legette, Joyner, and Rattler.
The first of two preseason scrimmages are set for Saturday afternoon.
