South Carolina football will keep another key piece of its defense for the 2022 season. Edge lineman Jordan Strachan, who joined Shane Beamer’s Gamecocks in 2021 as a transfer from Georgia State, announced via Twitter on Tuesday morning that he’ll be returning to Columbia for a second season in the SEC and sixth season of college football. Strachan spent much of the season just behind Kingsley “JJ” Enagbare on the depth chart, earning the Duke’s Mayo Bowl start after Enagbare opted out of the bowl to prepare for the NFL draft.
