USC commit Ryan Hilinski’s plan when he gets to Columbia: Play early, very early
July 02, 2018
South Carolina football commit Ryan Hilinski could walk into a favorable situation when he arrives in Columbia in January.
If current Gamecocks starting quarterback Jake Bentley is still around, Hilinski expects to redshirt and then work his way into the lineup in 2020. If Bentley takes his shot at the NFL after his junior season, Hilinski enters a possibly wide-open competition.
And he likes his odds to stand out.
“I’m going to have early playing time, which is going to be a big factor,” Hilinski said. “Coach (Dan) Werner and coach (Will) Muschamp have expressed that to me. When I get there it’s going to be … a preferable situation for me to be in when starting in the SEC as a true freshman or a redshirt freshman depending on what Jake does. But I’m excited to be a part of that family.”
