Starter: Sherrod Greene Backup: Debo Williams
Sherrod Greene’s injury was a massive blow to a defense that still overachieved in his absence last fall. Now he’s back. Greene is as experienced a defensive piece as the Gamecocks will have in the fall. He’s played in 39 career games but has appeared in only four contests combined between the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Can he stay healthy in his final year of college football? That’s become a huge “if.” Williams was a nice piece on special teams as he made the transition from Delaware to the Southeastern Conference. Expect him to get some more run at linebacker this year with another offseason under defensive coordinator Clayton White’s tutelage.
