South Carolina FB career comes to a close for Rick Sandidge
July 28, 2022
The senior defensive lineman from Concord, North Carolina, is taking a medical hardship waiver, “which essentially means his playing career here at South Carolina is done,” head coach Shane Beamer announced Thursday. Sandidge missed all of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery on his left ankle. That ankle injury has not improved enough to where Sandidge can play, Beamer said. A medical hardship allows Sandidge to remain on scholarship even though he’s not eligible to compete.
Sandidge will remain around the team this season, according to Beamer. Sandidge, in a statement posted to social media, said he plans to “continue my football career by beginning work as a recruiter” for the program. “He’s a Gamecock,” Beamer said. “Whether he’s out there on the field or not, that will not change.”
