Projected 2017 South Carolina defensive depth chart, pre-fall camp
July 09, 2017
COLUMBIA, S.C. — SEC Football Media Days are Monday through Thursday, and the 2017 South Carolina football season isn’t too far behind.
Led by senior defensive tackle Dante Stallworth and senior linebackers Bryson Allen-Williams and Skai Moore, there are plenty of experienced players returning to the unit that finished 66th in the country in total defense a season ago.
What could the rest of the Gamecocks’ defensive depth chart look like when the season opens at Bank of America Stadium on Sept. 2 against North Carolina State? SEC Country takes a stab below.
